KUCHING, July 7: Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap has presented a financial grant worth RM150,000 to Borneo Evangelical Mission (SIB) The Way Church, located off Jalan Tun Jugah, here today.
The grant was given by the Sarawak government to assist the church in carrying out renovation works for the construction of a new kitchen and a dining area, as well as the installation of equipment and general repairs of the building.
During the handing-over ceremony, Yap explained to the congregation attending Sunday Mass at the church that Sarawak is different from other states in Malaysia as Sarawak has the Unit for Other Religions (Unifor), which is responsible for regulating policies to promote inter-religious harmony while evaluating, proposing and formulating policies, laws, and regulations related to other religions in Sarawak.
“For this year, Unifor has been allocated RM110 million by the Sarawak government to financially assist other religious bodies on their various needs and requests,” he said. — DayakDaily
