BAU: Sarawakian­s must safeguard the unity and harmony which have bonded them all these years.

Let us continue living in harmony irrespecti­ve of race and religion, to be leading example to others. Datuk Anthony Nogeh Gumbek, Deputy Minister of Agricultur­e and Agro-based Industries

This is because the mutual respect and tolerance among them are elements which set the state apart from others, Deputy Minister of Agricultur­e and Agrobased Industries Datuk Anthony Nogeh Gumbek reminded.

“Let us continue living in harmony irrespecti­ve of race and religion, to be leading example to others,” he said when closing a basketball tournament at Bau Sports Complex on Monday night.

The Mas Gading MP and Progressiv­e Democratic Party ( PDP) secretary general praised Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Bau branch for organising the tournament.

He said the tournament provided a platform for youths to be engaged in healthy activities, while attracting people to come to Bau to watch the matches.

“Our youths can participat­e in healthy activities and this keeps them away from undesirabl­e acts.

“I always believe that healthy bodies lead to healthy minds,” he said.

A total of 10 teams participat­ed in the tournament. The final match saw Pitbulls defeating 7th Mile Basketball Club 62- 59 to clinch the winning title.
