“The success that we enjoy today is derived from the efforts of all Sarawakians living harmoniously together, making us a role model for other states in Malaysia.

“We hope for the unity, stability and harmony in Sarawak to continue on, and for them to continue driving our success in the next 60 years.

“I call upon all fellow Sarawakians to continue working towards realising our resolution of ‘Sarawak Maju’ 2030 (Developed Sarawak 2030,” said the Pelawan assemblyman in his remark, made prior to flagging off the ‘Sarawak Merdeka Convoy’ at Sibu Central Market yesterday, where Sibu Municipal Council chairman Clarence Ting was also present.
