Member of Parliament for Bintulu Dato Seri Tiong King Sing  felt the fine Chinese traditional practices were apparrently absent in many Chinese youths nowadays.

"I have personally coming across many Chinese youths who dressed well and behaved decently in town during day time; but  their conducts differ when you meet them again at night especially at the night entertainment spots," he remarked.

He was saddened many of them chose to live an easy life through extortion and refused to earn a decent living by means  of laborious tasks.

"What do yout children think if one day they  come to realise their fathers are actually getting incomes from threatening and extorting  money from other people," questioned Tiong.

He believed their children would also ponder why their fathers always loitering around and have no proper job.

Tiong believed it was never too later for them to start all over again and live an exemplary live for the sake of their children future.

He said this at the dinner organised by the Youth and Women Section of Bintulu Chiang Hsia Huang Clan Asssociation at Civic Centre Friday evening.

The dinner was meant to express gratitude and appreciation to the elderly folks who were parents or grand parents of the clan members.
 

A total of 84  senior citizens aged 60 years and above recieved a gold medal each during the occasion.

Earlier, chairman of the associaton Encik Wong Siew Kwong lamented in his address that the young generation among the Chinese community had failed to perform filial piety.

He attributed their impieties to the influence of western culture, lack of knowledge of their own Chinese culture, the impact of  consummerism  and materialistic.

" They focus more in pursuing wealth, comfort and hedonic lifestyle whilst treating their aged parents as burden," he said.
