We were delighted to welcome participants of this year’s “ASEAN Youth Volunteers Programme” who were in Kuching City over the weekend as part of visits schedule to Sarawak and Sabah. It was an honour for me to be invited by the organiser, Ministry of Youth and Sports Malaysia (KBS) as guest of honour at the welcoming ceremony cum hi tea which was held at our English Teahouse Restaurant of Dataran Ibu PertiwiKu, Petra Jaya over the weekend.
Also present was the honourable Adam Adli, the Deputy Minister of Youth & Sports Malaysia who was accompanied by Puan Azura Abidin, the Director General of Jabatan Belia & Sukan Negara. In my speech, I have urged the participants to take the opportunity to get acquainted with their counterparts from other countries in order to establish rapport and understanding among one another. Despite their brief visit to Sarawak,
I have also called on them to interact with our local folks consisting of different ethnicities, cultures and traditions. Sarawak is blessed with various natural wonders, flora and fauna that are also tourism attractions for foreign as well as local visitors. We hope the participants will have a wonderful stay in Kuching and to bring home the sweet memories of their experience of being here.
