KUCHING: The love and affection shown by the people of Sarawak and Sabah to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Raja Permaisuri Agong during their Kembara Kenali Borneo tour shows that Malaysia has come a long way since independence, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister said the reception given to the King and Queen on their journey from Tawau in Sabah to Telok Melano in Sarawak from Sept 3-13 was amazing.
