SIBURAN: Fostering positive moral values within the community is essential for promoting harmony in Sarawak, said Datuk Dr Jerip Susil.
The Deputy Minister for Transport emphasised the three key values that formed the foundation of societal strength.
“These include moral values to uphold noble character, unity across races and religions, and welfare to assist those in need.
“Thank you to the Che Hoe Khor Moral Uplifting Society for its efforts in cultivating these positive values, which are crucial for the younger generation to inherit, ensuring harmony in Sarawak’s multicultural society,” he said.
Dr Jerip, who is also Mambong assemblyman, said this during the 28th Anniversary Dinner of the Che Hoe Khor Moral Uplifting Society on Thursday.
The event served as a platform to recognise the society’s significant contributions toward fostering moral values, unity, and welfare in the community.
During the same occasion, he announced a RM400,000 allocation to the Che Hoe Khor Moral Uplifting Society.
He stated that this financial support would further enhance the welfare initiatives carried out by the organisation, benefiting those in need and reinforcing the spirit of generosity and care within the community.
Present were Dr Jerip’s wife, Datin Lee Chai Foong; Siburan District Officer Ranum Bari; Che Hoe Khor Moral Uplifting Society chairman Lee Chin Chan and Temenggong Kueh Aok Seng.
