Premier lauds TYT’s dedication, contributions to S’wak, urges S’wakians to emulate

KUCHING (Oct 12): Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg today lauded Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak Tun Pehin Sri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar for his unwavering dedication and service to the state in his various roles throughout the years.

He said despite the many challenges faced, Wan Junaidi’s commitment to Sarawak remained steadfast and such determination and resilience epitomised the fighting spirit of ‘Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban’.

“Thus, I call upon Sarawakians to emulate the Yang di-Pertua Negeri’s perseverance in contributing selflessly to society, the state and the nation,” he said when speaking at the parade held in conjunction with the Governor’s 78th birthday celebration at Padang Merdeka here on Saturday morning.

Abang Johari said ever since Wan Junaidi assumed office as the Yang di-Pertua Negeri in January, he had demonstrated his leadership as a widely experienced figure who is easily approachable and warm in his interations with people from all walks of life.

As such, he expressed his confidence the Head of State’s wisdom would continue to strengthen Sarawak as a symbol of unity and stability in Malaysia, and serve as a key pillar for the state’s economic development.
