The Perak Chinese Assembly Hall (PCAH) recently acknowledged Howard Lee, the ADUN for Pasir Pinji with a certificate of achievement on its 90^th anniversary.

Lee was the first Malaysian and first from South East Asia to become the President of the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY). He was elected since 2016.

Lee received the certificate from the President of PCAH Datuk Chai Wang Yook.

IUSY is the biggest political youth organization in the world, representing about 136 member organizations from more than 100 countries. It also has consultative status at the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the United Nations’ central platform for reflection, debate, and innovative thinking on sustainable development.

Assistant secretary of PCAH Yee Soo Ghee said Lee is the first political personality to receive this recognition.

“Lee’s name was recommended to the PCAH committee who discussed it and decided that he be recognized for his achievement” said Yee.

The PCAH regularly hands certificates of recognition to outstanding individuals from the Chinese community in appreciation of their achievements in the areas of sports, business, education, politics, history and culture.

Lee when contacted said he was surprised to receive this ‘political achievement award” from the Perak Chinese Assembly Hall on their 90^th anniversary.

“It is a great honour to receive this award with many of the Chinese compatriots who have brought recognition to Perak, both at home and abroad”
