KUCHING, Jan 31: The unity among the people of various races and religions is the backbone for the harmonious society in Sarawak, said Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.
In his Chinese New Year 2022 message today, Taib said this close unity becomes more apparent, especially when it comes to festive seasons such as Chinese New Year, where other races also share its joy.
“This celebration also provides an opportunity for all citizens to further strengthen the bonds of friendship with the Chinese community,” he said.
He added that it is known the country has become better because of the efforts of all races, not only one.
“Because of that, we learn to share rather than deny each other any opportunity to enjoy the very same cultural heritage.
“The cultural change by a multi-racial society also enables the State’s economy to continue to grow and prosper,” he said. ― DayakDaily
