Offices Commitment
Hii King Chiong has over numerous years, involved himself in different responsible capacities in various social bodies, including but not limited to schools, social associations, and so forth. He has, as philanthropist and responsible corporate citizen, continuously given his best efforts to improve on the issues of concern. He set-ups two service centres in Miri, recruited volunteers and has since solved many problems faced by the Miri Society.
As he emphasises on Chinese education, he works together with associations to negotiate the best for Chinese education and hoped that one day it would have the kind of recognition enjoyed by government schools.
