KANOWIT (June 30): Ngemah assemblyman Anyi Jana has called on the multi-racial communities to strengthen unity in order to ensure lasting harmony and community well-being.
He emphasised that this can be achieved through collaborative programmes such as the 'ngiling bidai' initiative, which involves cooperation between the Village Security and Development Committee (JKKK) and relevant government agencies.
'Like sticks tied together, stronger and not easily broken – that is the symbol of unity that needs to be nurtured and instilled in the community,' said Anyi, as quoted in a Sarawak Public Communication Unit (UKAS) report during the ngiling bidai ceremony.
The event was jointly organised by the Bukit Sepali Madani Community and the Nanga Ngungun Zone 1 Neighbourhood Area Committee (KRT), held at Rumah Taboh Rimau in Nanga Ngungun here on Friday.
Hosted by village chief Tuai Rumah Taboh, the ceremony was also attended by Pelagus assemblyman Wilson Nyabong Ijang.
Anyi stressed that such programmes must be supported by all parties, regardless of race or religion, to foster the values of tolerance and a shared sense of belonging within the community.
During the event, Anyi announced a RM5,000 Minor Rural Project (MRP) grant to the Bukit Sepali Madani Community and the Nanga Ngungun Zone 1 KRT.
He also allocated an additional RM7,000 to Rumah Taboh JKKK for their annual activities. anyi jana lead multi-racial communities Ngiling Bidai
