Sarawak is very unique, where people of different backgrounds have high respect and tolerance for one another. There is a strong unity and people work and cooperate with each other. —–Datuk Snowdan Lawan<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

SIBU<\/span>: The state government through Unit for Other Religions (Unifor<\/span>) distributed funding<\/span> assistance totalling RM2.76 million to 23<\/span> Roman Catholic<\/span> mission<\/span> schools<\/span> in Sibu<\/span> Division for 2021 on Thursday.<\/p>\n

This funding<\/span> was the first financial assistance received<\/span> from the state government for the mission<\/span> schools<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Advisor to Mission<\/span> Authority, Roman Catholic<\/span> Diocese of Sibu<\/span>, Datuk Snowdan Lawan symbolically presented the mock cheque for the amount to Catholic<\/span> Bishop of Sibu<\/span>, Right Reverend Joseph Hii, while the approval letter for the allocation to Sarawak mission<\/span> schools<\/span> under the supervision of Mission<\/span> Authority, Roman Catholic<\/span> Diocese of Sibu<\/span>, was received<\/span> by their respective school<\/span> principals.<\/p>\n

When met after officiating at the cheque presentation ceremony at SMK Sacred Heart yesterday, Snowdan said RM165 million had been received<\/span> from the state government through Unifor<\/span> to assist houses of worship, mission<\/span> schools<\/span> and for operations since the unit was formed in 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis is the second last of the three-series event, and the last stop will be in Kapit, with about RM2 million to be given out to schools<\/span> there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In his speech earlier, he said many politicians including those from Sabah have praised Sarawak for being a melting pot of religion, cultures and ethnicities.<\/p>\n

In fact, Snowdan pointed out that Keluarga Malaysia which is similar to 1Malaysia concept, has long been practised in Sarawak.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can become a role model to other states in the country,\u201d he said, adding people of diverse backgrounds in Sarawak live and work together in peace and harmony.<\/p>\n

\u201cSarawak is very unique, where people of different backgrounds have high respect and tolerance<\/p>\n

for one another.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a strong unity and people work and cooperate with each other,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Unifor<\/span> director Richard Lon in his speech sought the cooperation from schools<\/span> receiving<\/span> the assistance to furnish report on a quarterly basis.<\/p>\n

Among those present were senator Robert Lau, Sibu<\/span> Catholic<\/span> Education Council chairman Stephen Tan, Sibu<\/span> district education officer Ahli Chikba, councillor Joseph Chieng and Sacred Heart School<\/span> Old Students Association (Shosa) president Yong King Sung.<\/p>\n
