Teachers' professional competency hinges on their attitude, knowledge and teaching skill, and underlies the effectiveness of teaching. This paper aims to explore: (1) How competent are Chinese language teachers from Chinese Primary School in Malaysia? (2) What are the problems faced by these teachers and how to solve the problems? A total of 116 Chinese language teachers from 7 Chinese primary schools in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur were investigated through questionnaire survey. The findings indicate that there is still room for improvement in teachers' professional competency. It is thus suggested that educational authorities, training institutions, schools and teachers should collaborate to enhance the professional competency of Chinese language teachers in Malaysia.
