This morning we have attended the monthly “Ibu Pertiwi” flag raising ceremony which was held at the “Dataran Ibu Pertiwi” in Petra Jaya, Kuching. The event was graced by the honourable Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hassan, Deputy Premier of Sarawak.
Datuk Amar Awang Tengah who is also our Minister of Natural Resources and Urban Development’s and Ministry of International Trade, Industry and Investment Sarawak. According to him, awareness of the monthly “Ibu Pertiwi” flag raising ceremony needs to be intensified through strategic collaboration with hotels and tourism industry players so as to increase the spirit of patriotism as well as to promote Sarawak’s unique racial and cultural diversity.
We need to ensure that this event is scheduled regularly, just like the “Changing of the Guard ceremony” at Buckingham Palace in London, which is one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions. The Kuching North City Commission (DBKU) was also commended for its initiative in organising the event on the first Sunday of every month.
