He said the significant progress in resolving issues related to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) is strong evidence of the joint efforts built on the foundation of unity and harmony.

“We understand that we are stronger when we are together. Over the past two years, we have managed to resolve more issues under the MA63 than ever before,” he told reporters after attending the Komuniti Madani Sarawak Retreat 2024 here today.

He added that this achievement reflected the strong commitment of both sides to ensure justice and the well-being of the people of Sarawak are always prioritised.

“This close relationship is clearly evident through the warmth and understanding between the premier of Sarawak (Abang Johari Openg) and the prime minister ( Anwar Ibrahim),” Fahmi said.

He said this good relationship must be protected from any negative elements that could sow seeds of division.

He urged the public not to be influenced by irresponsible parties trying to provoke tension on social media between Sarawak and the federal government.

As parts of effort to strengthen unity, the communications ministry will introduce sekolah penerangan (information schools) involving Komuniti Madani, aimed at educating the community to play an active role in delivering accurate information and fostering goodwill among the people.

With an allocation of RM10,000 for each Komuniti Madani, Fahmi hopes that unity programmes can be expanded to spread the spirit of unity from the grassroots level.

“Initiatives like this will continue to strengthen the relationship between the people of various states and between Sarawak and the federal government, as well as boost the stability and prosperity of the country,” he added.
