“The moral teaching practices are guided by the principles of promoting moral activities, education, and charity. It is important to understand that the society’s moral teaching is founded on the teachings that emphasise the freedom of upholding moral virtues, strictly adhering to moral principles, and nurturing unity among all beings.

“Therefore, we are proud to be among the 38 moral uplifting society in East Malaysia, comprising 25 in Sarawak and 12 in Sabah. One of our missions is to organise various activities, for members and the public, and we are proud to be able to do that the past four decades,” he said in his welcoming speech.
