KUCHING, Feb 28: Angkatan Zaman Mansang Sarawak (Azam Sarawak) is always supportive of efforts to further strengthen social harmony and unity in Sarawak as assets to development and progress.

Its chairman Datu William Nyigor stressed that it was important for the movement members to, from time to time, take the effort to get to know each other better and renew their mutual networks while contributing to Sarawak’s efforts to promote and strengthen social unity and harmony.

This, he said, is also to uphold the identity and trademark of Sarawak as a region of multicultural and multiracial communities.


“We are fortunate to have at least Chinese, Iban, Malay, Bidayuh, Melanau and Orang Ulu staff and members,” he said during a Chinese New Year (CNY) gathering held in Kuching today, comprising members of Azam, Sarawak Development Institute (SDI), Faradale companies and Azam Toastmasters Club.

Meanwhile, SDI chairman Datuk Amar Jaul Samion who was also present, said subsidiaries play an important role in helping the government to spread, communicate, engage and provide a better understanding of development initiatives in Sarawak to grassroots communities.

The half-day function included a Lion Dance performance, a Rabbit Draw (Lucky Draw) and a karaoke session. — DayakDaily
