It’s always heartwarming to see Malaysians from different backgrounds come together. I hope we can see more of such events in Sarawak. My dream is for our infrastructure and education to get even better.
This is my first time in Malaysia, especially Sarawak, and I’m amazed. The people are welcoming, and the culture is rich and diverse. With Sarawak’s eco-tourism potential, I hope future events like this will happen here.
I’m here with my kids to show them the beauty of our country’s celebrations. Seeing their excitement makes me happy. My dream is for Malaysia to remain united, with respect and love among its people.

The last Malaysia Day celebration in Sarawak was in 2019, before COVID-19. I wanted to be part of the excitement and also catch a glimpse of our leaders.
It’s a joy to see Malaysians of different races celebrate together. I hope we keep having such events, and I pray for a harmonious future for Malaysia.
