Lead and Grow: 115 Years of The Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor traces its history back to 1904. The idea of having a Chamber of Commerce came at a time when traditional leadership institutions like Kapitan China were losing their importance and could no longer play an effective role in championing the interests of the Chinese community in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. This book is a record of the history of the Chamber. It also serves as a record of the many personalities who have been at the helm of the Chamber throughout its long history.
It highlights the Chamber's achievement in guiding and leading Chinese businesses and the Chinese community through some of the major turning points in the history of the community and the nation. The book also looks into the Chamber's relationship with the state; and its role in influencing the socio-economic changes of the Chinese community and Malaysia.
