As reported in Sin Chew Jit Poh:
"During the Buddhist flag raising campaign launch in Segamat recently, I had suggested to YB Liew Chin Tong to urge the Penang government to name one of the roads in Penang after the late Venerable Chuk Mor for his contributions to the Buddhist community and the nation".

In context, in Malaysia there are three roads named after Buddhist personalities which are connected to the efforts to declare Wesak Day as a Public Holiday.

1. Jalan Gunaratana in Penang was named after the former abbot of Mahindarama Buddhist Temple, Ven. K. Gunaratana Nayaka Maha Thera who was the first to propose Wesak Day to be designated as a public holiday in 1926.

2. Jalan Dr. Cheah Toon Lok in Alor Setar, Kedah was named after the former president of Kedah Buddhist Association 吉打佛学院 and also former acting president of MCA. Dr. Cheah had raised the issue of Wesak Day to be made a public holiday in Parliament when he was a Senator.

3. Jalan Rev. Seet Kim Beng in Melaka was adopted in recognition of Malaysian Buddhist Association 2nd president, the late Ven. Seet Kim Beng who together with Ven. Chuk Mor and Ven. Seck Kim Seng spearheaded the efforts in requesting the then Malayan government to declare Wesak Day as a public holiday. Wesak Day was celebrated as a public holiday in 1962.

Dear Penang CM Chow Kon Yeow 曹觀友,
Please consider a road to be named as Jalan Venerable Chuk Mor in Penang in recognition of Ven. Chuk Mor's contribution to the people and nation.

Namo Buddhaya.
Delivered a talk with the title " One Hundred Years of Buddhism in Malaysia" to a group of Dhamma School teachers from Subang Jaya Buddhist Association on 10/12/2023. The talk was part of the Buddhism in Malaysia series which I had prepared for the Dhamma School teachers.
The talk was held in Sungai Petani since we were having the Bujang Valley exploratory trip to visit some archaeological sites to enable the teachers to have a better understanding on the early history of Buddhism in Malaysia. To further inspire the teachers, I had invited two Buddhist personalities whom had served Buddhism for a long period and made an impact with their initiatives to join the session and meet the participants.
Bro. Kong Yeap Hoi had initiated the establishment of the Malaysian Buddhist Examination Syndicate which was an enabler to encourage more people especially the younger generation to study Buddhism, while Bro. Bon Lua initiated and promoted the blood donation campaign which became a major national effort in saving lives, especially amongst the Buddhist and Chinese community. We are indeed grateful and appreciate their contributions.
those worthy of respect.
