Kuching to celebrate new status as ‘city of unity’


KUCHING: A ceremony will be kicked off by Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem at Stadium Perpaduan here, in conjunction with the state celebration to mark Kuching's elevation to city status 27 years ago.

The idea for a unity-themed city was mooted last December by Yayasan 1Malaysia (Y1M), which had been looking at the emerging trend to identify and promote cities by their attributes, for example, “historical city”.
