KUCHING: The annual tradition of distributing ‘bubur lambuk’ in Kampung Muara Tebas took on a special meaning this year, with the Kuching Hokkien Association (KHA) joining the initiative as a gesture of unity and friendship.
Village chief, Sudin, warmly welcomed the participation of KHA committee members, led by Datuk Richard Wee.
Sudin expressed his appreciation for the collaboration, highlighting its role in fostering goodwill between communities.
Wee noted that the invitation extended to KHA was a reflection of the strong and lasting ties between Sarawak’s diverse communities.
“The invitation extended to the Hokkien Association not only showcases friendship but also strengthens the bonds that have been nurtured over the past decades,” he said.
He added that the relationship of mutual assistance, cooperation and harmonious living between Qing Shan Temple and the residents of Kampung Muara Tebas exemplifies racial harmony and peaceful coexistence in Sarawak.
“The uniqueness of Sarawak’s traditional culture serves as the best example for other states to learn from and emulate in efforts to strengthen unity in a multicultural society,” Wee added.
