4. To promote and participate in cultural, educational, social and economic work consistent with the Federal Constitution.

The following chart illustrates the linkages between Huazong, Chinese Assembly Halls at the state level and various types of major Chinese associations in all the 13 states in Malaysia:
Activities:
For the past 34 years, we are proud of our achievements in various fields. With the support and cooperation offered by the Chinese community, we have successfully conveyed the wishes of the Chinese community to the Government. We also voice out the opinions and the stand of the Chinese community on politics, economics, culture, education, social and religion, so that the problems faced by the Chinese community can be given timely concerns.
Huazong has frequently met with the Cabinet Ministers, Deputy Ministers and Director General of Government agencies to discuss problems and issues faced by Chinese community.
Besides, Huazong has set up several cultural funds and education funds to sponsor various cultural projects, as well as to provide study loans and scholarships to needy students.
The Malaysia Chinese Cultural Festival is the most successful event organized by Huazong and the 13 State Chinese Assembly Halls. The Malaysia Chinese Cultural Festival was first held in Selangor in 1984, after that it has become a yearly event organized by the 13 State Chinese Assembly Halls in rotation.
The activities and programs of The Malaysia Chinese Cultural Festival including lantern marching parades, cultural and literature seminars and lectures, cultural performances like various cultural dancing and singing from all races, lion dance or dragon dance, lantern making competitions, spring couplets and Chinese Calligraphy competitions, traditional Chinese martial arts demonstration, fashion show of Chinese costumes, traditional handicrafts exhibitions, food carnivals and food fairs.
Recently we have made The Malaysia Chinese Cultural Festival to reflect the roots and cultures of the various ethnics. The Malay and Indian cultural organizations have been invited to contribute to some of the programs like Indian cultural dance or traditional Malay wedding reception and Dikir Barat performance. We also invited the states’ Tourism Board to participate in the festival.
We believe that these activities will help in generating a greater interest of the public in Chinese culture and also to promote a better understanding among various ethnics in Malaysia.
