According to Lianhe Zaobao reported on the 8th, the event was mainly urged by the Malaysian Chinese Great Hall Association (China president), hosted by the Malaysian Chinese culture center, and jointly organized by the Malaysian Chinese language standardization Council, the Malaysian Chinese Newspaper Editors Association and Malaysian Radio Station aifm.
The organizers received 267 groups of Chinese character proposals this year. The ten candidate Chinese characters shortlisted in the primary election are 'worry', 'tax', 'disgust', 'haze', 'sleepiness',' regret ',' horse ',' claw ',' chaos' and 'deception'.
Wu hengcan, chairman of the Chinese culture center and chairman of the working committee, said in his speech at the 2019 Malaysian annual Chinese character unveiling ceremony today that the 2019 Chinese character is a "disease" summarized by all the people after taking the pulse of the country. He believes that the word "cheat" looks negative, but it also has positive significance. " Isn't it a good thing to find out what's wrong with yourself early? "
He pointed out that the annual Chinese character is the people's unified report on the national physical examination. Only after knowing the physical health index can the remedy be applied to the case. He said: 'the annual Chinese character for the 2016 referendum is & lsquo; Greedy & rsquo;. If there had been immediate treatment, surgery and medication at that time, we would not have been terminally ill and ended up today. " This year is the ninth annual Chinese character selection in Malaysia. The eight selected Chinese characters of the year before are turn, change, rise, navigation, hardship, greed, road and change.
