GEORGE TOWN: For the second straight year, Sarawakians living in Penang say they will mark Malaysia Day at home and hope that the pandemic will be over soon.

Lau Hon Wee said that as the nation is set to celebrate the 58th Malaysia Day on Thursday, he has only one wish – that is for the country to emerge from the pandemic soon.
