Bung Moktar: Malaysia Day celebrates the start of the 'Malaysian Family'


KOTA KINABALU (Bernama): Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin (pic) described the formation of Malaysia in 1963 as the unification of the people of Sabah, Sarawak and the Peninsula as a ‘Malaysian Family’ regardless of their origin or background.

According to him, the unity of a 'Malaysian Family' has remained for a long time because there is a sense of respect for each other and mutual appreciation for the uniqueness and diversity of races and ethnicities in the country.
