KUCHING: Mayor of Kuching South City Council (MBKS) Datuk Wee Hong Seng, together with Deputy Mayor Datuk Zaiedi Suhaili, Councillors, and MBKS staff, distributed mooncakes to residents at the KMC flats as well as to hawkers at various markets and hawker centres under Kuching South’s jurisdiction.
The activity was held to celebrate the Mid-Autumn or Mooncake Festival and to share the festive joy with the community.
While giving out the mooncakes, Wee and his team also took the opportunity to engage directly with the community, listening to the residents’ views, gathering feedback and strengthening the bond between MBKS and the people it served.
The visits created a cheerful atmosphere filled with warmth, laughter and a strong sense of togetherness.
“Food and culture have the power to bring people together. Through events like this, we unite our community through gastronomy, friendship and respect, ensuring that no one is left behind. This is what makes Kuching South a caring and connected city,” said Wee.
He said that the Mid-Autumn or Mooncake Festival, although rooted in Chinese tradition, carried universal values of reunion, gratitude and unity shared by all Sarawakians.
He emphasised that Kuching’s multicultural society continued to celebrate festivals together, showing Sarawak’s enduring spirit of inclusiveness and harmony.
“MBKS will continue to promote community programmes that strengthen social bonds and celebrate unity through diversity, reflecting the council’s ongoing commitment to building a harmonious and inclusive society,” he said.
