“We would like to express our profound gratitude to you and your team in ensuring the safe return of 172 of our Sarawakian crew members for mass vaccination and to be reunited with their loved ones.
“Without the leadership, dedicated efforts and commitment from your team, this would not have been possible. We are also very grateful for the prompt assistance and guidance from Datu Ik Pahon Joyik, Datu Buckland Bangik, Melissa Labut and Dr P.
