KUCHING: Bintulu MP Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing stressed the importance of good health when he said the best gift one can have during this Chinese New Year celebration is to have their friends and families safe and in good health.

“Although the customs and traditions of visiting and reuniting with our loved ones during Chinese New Year is an important one, let us have the forbearance to make some sacrifices for smaller celebrations and reduce visits,” he said.

Tiong said due appreciation must be given to the frontliners who had put their lives on the line to contain Covid-19.

“Let’s not forget to take the opportunity to give our thanks to our frontliners. During the long pandemic, they have held the line and put in great efforts to help safeguard our people,” he said today.

He said the year of the Ox promises more opportunity for growth after the economic slump in the previous year.

“I hope that in the new year, we will join hands with bullish determination and tenacity for greater yields this year. Without winter, we cannot appreciate the coming spring. The economy is in a winter slumber due to the pandemic.

“From business owners to employees and all others, we all face the same gloom. At the start of the year, we still bear the burden of the battle with the pandemic.

“Some of us do not even have the chance for reunion with our loved ones. Nevertheless, let’s all hold on to faith that the winter will thaw,” he said.

The Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) president said only by working together could the war against Covid-19 be won and lives return to normal.

“By working together, we will win this war against the pandemic soon to enjoy life with our family and friends. The warmth of spring will soon bloom following these wintery months.

“With the advent of the new year, let’s adopt a spirited resolve to plant the seeds of our future success now, ready ourselves to grow the stagnant economy again, and embrace success in due time.

“Once again, I wish all the best of luck, lasting prosperity, and abundant health during the Year of the Ox. May you and your loved ones be ever blessed with success and happiness.

“Have a Happy Chinese New Year 2021”.
