BALINGIAN: The Salam Aidilfitri Night Event is one of the platforms to strengthen friendships with each other.
Balingian assemblyman Abdul Yakub Arbi said, with a programme like this, the people can gather in large numbers.
“At the same time, we are able to bond with each other even though we differ in religion and race.
“Although this culture has been practiced for a long time, we need to always practice it and maintain it,” he said.
He said this when officiating at the Salam Aidilfitri Night Event at the Balingian Community Hall, here, recently.
Commenting further, he said, the practice of helping each other also needs to be applied especially in terms of programme preparation so that it runs smoothly
“Although not joining in to help during the programme, we also need to help in the event of a disaster in this area.
“For example, helping fire victims. Many provide help to the victims regardless of religion and race.
“This attitude needs to be emulated by many, especially community leaders and headmen (KMKK) because it is part of their responsibility in their respective areas,” he explained.
In the meantime, he disclosed that a number of projects have been implemented besides those being implemented and would commence soon around Balingian.
Thus, he hoped that the projects would be completed immediately so that the people could enjoy the fruits of development.
