Jan 09, 2020

MIRI: Kampung Muhibbah, a Malaymajority village in Kuala Baram, held a joint Christmas and New Year celebration December 28.

Transport Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin, who officiated at the event, commended the village security and development committee (JKKK) for organising the celebration.

“Kampung Muhibbah is a fishing village with around 600 families, where some 75 per cent of the people are Malay.

“Even so, it was indeed good to see that the village JKKK has taken the initiative to organise gatherings during festive seasons,” said the Senadin assemblyman.

He said such an effort truly reflected the true harmony and uniqueness of multiracial and multi-religious Sarawak.

“All Sarawakians have the freedom to celebrate their religious festivals. Mutual respect and goodwill have always been practised here,” he said. --Borneo Post
