KUCHING, July 28: Sarawak Democratic Action Party (DAP) raised RM300,000 to assist in renovation works for a Roman Catholic church at Mile 32.

“Our goal is to complete the refurbishment by December, allowing the congregation to celebrate Christmas in a beautifully renovated church.
“The renovations will include essential repairs, aesthetic enhancements, and updates to make the church more accessible and comfortable for all attendees,” he said.
