“But our war against Covid-19 is not done yet. Hence, we need to work harder and even more closely together.
“Like how we have won the first, second and third waves (of Covid-19), I am sure we are going to win again even though it (fourth wave) is very challenging.
“I am relief that Sarawak can stay a bit afloat compared to other states in Malaysia. And we owe this success to all Sarawakians as well as the State government,” he added.
Uggah also thanked Sarawakians, the private sector as well as non-governmental organisations (NGOs) for their support in all kinds of donation for SDMC in the past year.
“For those who have lost family members to Covid-19, SDMC would like to once again extend our deepest condolences.
