CELEBRATED on the second Sunday in May, Mother’s Day holds significance across many countries, serving as a time to honour and appreciate mothers.
During this occasion, individuals commonly express love and gratitude towards their mothers through various gestures, such as giving cards, gifts, flowers, or simply spending quality time together.
As we transition into the digital age, some utilise social media not only to convey well-wishes to their own mothers but also to extend greetings to all mothers among their families and friends.
Observing social media platforms, New Sarawak Tribune has come across heartfelt Mother’s Day messages shared by our state leaders.
While some chose to post pictures with their mothers, others opted for floral designs, and some offered tributes to their departed loved ones.
Federal Tourism, Arts, and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing:
“Cross over the highest peaks, sail the great seas, and journey to the ends of the world; nothing compares to the warm embrace of one’s mother. Savour delicacies from the world over, and yet the most appetising still is mom’s cooking. With May here, a spring welcoming warmth, family affection, and wistful memories, here’s wishing mothers everywhere a lovely Mother’s Day, full of good health and happy times,” he said.
Deputy Minister for Public Health, Housing, and Local Government Datuk Michael Tiang Ming Tee:
“On this Mother’s Day, filled with love and gratitude, may every mother feel the deep love and respect from her children. Thank you for your selfless dedication and everlasting care. May your world be filled with warmth, joy, and peace. Wishing all mothers, a Happy Mother’s Day and everlasting health and happiness!” he said.
Minister of Women, Family, and Community Development Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri:
“Happy Mother’s Day to all who are called mothers! There’s nothing that can replace a mother’s love. Let’s celebrate those who nurture, educate, and give unconditional love. Thank you, mother,” she said.
Deputy Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts, Datuk Sebastian Ting Chiew Yew:
“To our amazing mothers, wherever you may be, Happy Mother’s Day and thank you ever so much for your unconditional love and care for the children all these years. To my own mother and my wife, may you rest in eternal peace. Our children, granddaughter, and myself will always treasure and remember you, the beautiful memories and the wonderful times we then lived and travelled together in our life journey. We will always miss you,” he said.
Deputy Minister in the Sarawak Premier’s Department (Law, MA63, and State-Federal Relations) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali:
“Happy Mother’s Day to all who bear the title of Mother. A mother’s love knows no bounds. May Allah bless all mothers,” she said.
Puncak Borneo MP Datuk Willie Mongin:
“Take Mama out for a meal; happy Mother’s Day to all mothers. May you all be cheerful, healthy, and live a long life. Have you given some spending money to your mother yet? Because my mother always told me not to just send regards. Regards cannot buy rice,” he said.
