SIBU (April 29): The University of Technology Sarawak (UTS) Staff Recreational Club hosted a 'Jom Berambeh' programme at its campus today to mark the celebration of three major cultural festivities in Sarawak ― Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, and Gawai Dayak.
UTS vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Khairuddin Ab Hamid, when officiating at the event, said the gathering served as a reflection of the unity and harmony among Sarawak's multi-ethnic society, particularly for the benefit of foreign staff at the university.
'This gathering is important as we spend a great deal of time together on campus as colleagues,' he said.
Khairuddin also expressed hope that the spirit of cooperation and mutual respect would continue to flourish among the staff.
'Let us carry out our duties with intergrity and refrain from workplace gossip,' he added.
About 200 UTS staff members attended the event, which was themed 'Uniting Cultures: Chinese New Year, Eid Mubarak and Gawai Dayak'.
