“I would also like to thank the councillors and with this new term until the end of the year, I will try to do my best to continue what I’ve done, especially to improve the infrastructure.
“It’ll be beneficial to the people of Kuching in general and I will also make sure there are more community programmes to ensure unity among us and that Kuching remains vibrant and peaceful,” he said.
That night, Ramadan contributions were given to children from needy families.
