THE Malaysia Red Crescent Society (MRCS) Sibu branch's Annual Inspection Parade 2025 held in Sibu town, Sarawak, carries on a proud community tradition.
MRCS Sibu chairman Penghulu Chua Hiong Kee described the event as a celebration of the society members' discipline, unity and selflessness.
'The parade is a powerful symbol of our dedication to serving humanity. This lies at the very heart of MRCS Sibu,' he said.
At the Tun Zaidi Stadium, members marched in precision and saluted beneath fluttering flags bearing the symbolic colours of the MRCS.
Chua emphasised that these displays reflected a readiness to serve in hard times.
'These show our commitment to humanitarian services and our willingness to give selflessly in times of crises, without expecting anything in return.
As long as there is a need, there will be someone wearing the Red Crescent emblem, and who is ready to serve, comfort and heal,' he added.
Chua also explained MRCS Sibu's vision of nurturing young people through its ranks, with juniors becoming cadets and eventually graduating into the Voluntary Aid Detachment unit.
This approach fosters lifelong contributors to the humanitarian sector, he noted.
'The impact of your good deeds is bigger than you will ever know.
'Let us move forward together with strength and purpose.'
The parade highlighted this year's World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day theme 'On the Side of Humanity'.
Chua said the theme symbolised the organisation's daily mission to put people first, act with compassion and serve all individuals regardless of background, status or belief.
'It is a call to stand firmly on the side of kindness and service,' he added.
Sibu district education officer Ahli Chikba called on parents and community to continue to support the role of MRCS in schools.
'Encourage children to join uniformed bodies like MRCS, not just for Physical Activity, Sports and Co-Curriculum Assessment marks but to deepen the meaning of humanity and volunteerism,' he stated in his speech that was read out by his representative Jeremy Ling.

Melaka school alumni makes appeal to fund legal battle
MELAKA: The Canossian Alumnae Association of Melaka is appealing to former students of missionary schools to contribute towards a fundraising campaign to support ongoing legal proceedings involving the SK Sacred Heart Canossian Convent, a school located in the heart of the historic city. The association's vice-president Josephine Chua said that the Canossian presence in the state spans more than 120 years and its legacy faces serious uncertainty due to unresolved legal disputes over land ownership. "The Melaka state legal advisor has issued a demand for the Canossian Sisters to pay the respondents' legal costs as ordered by the court on Feb 3. "We also urgently require funds to file an appeal and meet other related legal expenses," she said in an interview here on Friday (May 30). Chua said that the association is determined to preserve the mission's longstanding contribution to education and community welfare in Melaka. "The Canossian Sisters have worked tirelessly to secure rightful registration of the land, but repeated legal setbacks have left them disheartened. "Through this fundraising initiative, we hope to ease their burden and support their continued fight for justice," she added. In April, Bandar Hilir assemblyperson Leng Chau Yen sought clarification from the state government on the criteria used to determine land use rights and ownership, particularly for institutions that have occupied the land for decades and hold significant historical value. In March, the Melaka High Court dismissed a judicial review application filed by two Catholic mission bodies contesting the state's claim over the land on which the Sacred Heart Canossian Convent is located. Known as Lot 6, the site has served as a residence for the Canossian Sisters and an orphanage since 1905. A primary school was established there in 1929, followed by a secondary school in 1950. According to court documents, the land was originally held under the Portuguese Mission. Historical records show that the original title deed, issued during the Dutch colonial era, was last known to have been in Father Alvaro Martins Corado's possession during World War II. The deed was lost following his arrest and subsequent death in Japanese captivity in 1944. The first applicant in the case, the Mother Superior of the Daughters of Charity of the Canossian Institute (Malaya) was legally established in 1957 to hold property on behalf of the Canossian Sisters. The second applicant, the Agent of the Commission for the Administration of the Estates of the Portuguese Missions in China and Singapore (commonly known as the Portuguese Mission), was incorporated under a 1910 colonial statute and also claims ownership of the land. Both applicants had made multiple attempts to obtain a new title deed, engaging in extensive correspondence and meetings with state authorities over the years. Those wishing to support the Canossian Sisters in their legal battle can contact 016-611 1201 for further details.

NST Leader: Revitalising urban areas
IN a world where science and technology dominate, the old eventually make way for the new. Antiquated vehicles, buildings and infrastructure are rapidly demolished and replaced. Fashion is dictated by youthful trends, and new ideas bring fresh paradigms and ideologies. Tech startups are overhauling the way we work, play, love, eat and trade. The young, armed with more money, power and influence, tear through tradition, devoid of sentimentality. But they are persuaded to compromise: they are allowed to flatten swathes of the past provided they retain some of the ruins. For instance, the Porta de Santiago gate of the 15th century Portuguese fortress of A Famosa in Melaka, lies surrounded by a water theme park, safari, golf course, hotel and shopping mall. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation designated it a World Heritage site. In developing the BBCC Lalaport mall in Kuala Lumpur, the developers maintained the Pudu Jail main gate. Sometimes, developers are denied. In the 1990s, a major developer could have bulldozed Stadium Merdeka, Stadium Negara and Victoria Institution. Fortunately, common sense prevailed: the historical sites went unmolested. Against this backdrop, Kuala Lumpur City Hall was implored to retain historical elements in redeveloping 139 areas to include memories of the original communities that had developed strong cultural roots and identity. Progress cannot be allowed to destroy national heritage. The Urban Renewal Act (URA) has been touted as a pragmatic platform to redevelop dilapidated urban areas and improve quality of life. Let's make one thing clear: rapid development is not a bad idea but capricious development is, especially if it damages historic neighbourhoods, hometowns and cities. Malaysia has to at least stop constructing buildings that are later neglected to the point of deformity. Instead of demolishing, city fathers must create thoughtful urban design, strengthened by political will to overcome long-term short-sightedness. In justifying development, the URA may prove to be a useful and powerful development tool but in its current framework, its deployment is reactionary, created to mend previous decades of myopic development decisions. The Act's impact on property rights, gentrification and displacement of low-income residents cannot be overstated. Solutions are available: the URA's goals, procedures and impact must involve communities during planning and decision-making. The URA should integrate with broader urban planning strategies because its complexities are underscored by strong arguments on both sides. The ideal outcome is not only to redevelop and revitalise urban areas, but also protect residents' rights and well-being with fair compensation and spacious and liveable replacement housing.
