Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August 27, 2020: A delegation from the Wushu Federation of Malaysia made a courtesy visit to the Olympic Council of Malaysia HQ on Tuesday, August 25.

Dato’ Chong Kim Fatt congratulated the OCM President for being conferred the Darjah Kebesaran Panglima Setia Mahkota (PSM), which carries the title Tan Sri, by the King of Malaysia, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, last week and presented him with a piece of Chinese calligraphy meaning “well deserved”.
