BEAUFORT: People have been
urged to make the open house practice, particularly during Aidilfitri, as a
platform to promote understanding and harmony between the multiracial people in
the State.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri
Musa Aman said the open house tradition reflects the goodwill and friendship
that have existed among the various ethnic groups in the State for a long time.
"If we receive guests
regardless of race or religion, it will become a meaningful platform in
fostering national unity based on the 1Malaysia concept.
"Do not create conflict
that could lead to a split as it will only set the nation back," said Musa
when met at Lumadan Assemblyman Kamarlin Ombi's Aidilfitri open house, here,
Wednesday.
Also present were Deputy
Chief Minister Datuk Yahya Hussin, Sipitang MP Datuk Sapawi Ahmad, State
Assembly Speaker Datuk Salleh Said Keruak, Papar MP Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid
Shirlin and several other state Barisan Nasional leaders.
Meanwhile, Musa also
attended the open house of Klias Assemblywoman Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun, who is
Minister of Community Development and Consumer Affairs, at Kg Limbawang, here.
He said the community's
strong support for the Government leadership could be seen through the arrival
of visitors at both the open houses.
"Also, brotherhood can
be fostered between the rakyat and the leaders, as what we have seen
today," he said.
Earlier, Musa, Kamarlin,
Sapawi and Azizah and some BN component leaders presented Raya money to
