KUCHING: As citizens, we should appreciate the concern, seriousness and perseverance of Malaysians in facing the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic – the country is now in the endemic phase.
Therefore, regardless of our positions, let us join with the government in the fight against the coronavirus. We need to act in tandem with the government to prioritise the wellbeing and welfare of the people, the economy and more.
In conjunction with Malaysia’s 65th Independence Day, we should take the opportunity to reflect on the true meaning of independence because it will increase the spirit of patriotism and love for the country in each of us.
