KUCHING: Batu Kitang assemblyman Datuk Lo Khere Chiang has lauded the Indian community in Sarawak for its educational achievements.
He attributed them to the establishment and activities of various temples that promote discipline and responsibility among youth.
“Consequently, the Indian youth in the community are increasingly committed to their studies, resulting in fewer social problems.
“Moreover, the emphasis on education has led to the emergence of Indian professionals in various fields such as medicine, law, engineering, and accounting, despite the community’s relatively small size,” he said.
He said this during the Hindu Krishnan prayer programme in conjunction with 217th Police Day at the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISCKON Kuching) here last night (Apr 12).
Lo also encouraged other communities and associations in Sarawak to emulate the Indian community’s success
“I would like to encourage everybody else to follow the good work of the Indian community and at the same time encourage our many associations throughout the state of Sarawak to follow the two examples of the Indian community,” he added.
At the event, Lo demonstrated his support for local initiatives by contributing RM1000 to the police association.
