History
The idea on the formation of Junior Chamber KL Mandarin was formed in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Datuk Yeat was invited there to be a participant of the Junior Chamber Asia Pacific Area Conference, the ASPAC 2000.

Back in Malaysia, Datuk Yeat gather around his trusted friends, namely JC Aric Ng & JC Eric Chong to lay the foundation for the setting up of the first Mandarin Chapter in Malaysia.

At the turn of the millennium, the Junior Chamber KL Mandarin was formed. The formal installation was held at the Istana Hotel in KL on the 17th February 2001. Although new, it was reputed to have the largest gathering of participants in the Chapter's history in Malaysia.

JCKL Mandarin was by no means an infant for there were a lot of experiences and help provided by the people of the established Chapters in Malaysia. One of them is JC Lawrence Lor, the former President who had provided JCKL Mandarin with immense guidance and wisdom.

With a dedicated team with unshakable commitment, JCI Senator, Ngui Ing Ing, awarded JCKL Mandarin with the enviable task of welcoming the Junior Chamber International World President; George Bouverat to Malaysia on the 16th of July 2001. The task was carried out with utmost integrity and honor.

Foundation
The foundation of JCKL Mandarin was set up with three important tenets below that were to be the basis of the organization.

• Career
  JCKL Mandarin provides valuable resources for career development as we strive to afford linkage to community leaders and community-based experiences. It will be another avenue by which community businesses become involved in the career education and development of youth in the country. Individuals and partnerships achieve their maximum potential when the right mix of people from many organizations is involved. Mobilizing endorsement and support of high-level leaders from the collaborating organizations who are willing to assign time, money, and human resources to the individuals and partnership effort.
• Family
  JCKL Mandarin always upholds the values of a traditional family and provides reference points to seek and foster unity in that aspect. Strong families change their focus from what they have not done to what they can do. From what they do not have, to what they do have. From where they have not been, to where they can go. From their weaknesses, to their strengths.
• Health
  JCKL Mandarin believes that a healthy body builds a healthy mind. Therefore good health is vital to our success in everything we do. Optimal health should be the goal of everyone and it is perhaps the most significant goal we can have in our life. In that, JCKL Mandarin promotes a lifestyle of healthy living by organizing healthy activities that coexist with its business activities.
