KUCHING: As Sarawak kicked off its ruby jubilee celebrations in a colourful ceremony, it also paid tribute to former leaders who fought for the state’s independence. Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said these leaders had made sacrifices in their struggles to help Sarawak gain self-rule.
“Because of their contributions, we have a good political system and development today,” he added when launching the year-long celebrations at the state indoor stadium in Petra Jaya here on Saturday night.
