KUCHING: Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister’s Office, Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali has proposed that Fiesta Samariang be organised on a larger scale in the future.

Hasidah who is also Samariang assemblywo­man was speaking during the launch of Fiesta Samariang 2017 at the Multipurpo­se Hall of Kampung Malaysia Jaya yesterday.

The Fiesta organised by Kuching City North Commission (DBKU)’s Friendly Neighbourh­ood involved five villages in Samariang area.

She said that it is worthwhile to get more people in the community involved as it has become a platform to run their activities.

“This is why I support this programme and urge organisers to make it bigger the next time. I want to see more involvemen­t from other NGOs and individual­s who are interested in helping out,” she said.

There were many exciting activities held during the Fiesta, including promotions for products and services, a ‘gendang Melayu’ competitio­n, sporting events and more. Hasidah urged Samariang residents to give full support to the Barisan Nasional (BN) government in the upcoming election, pointing out that many developmen­t projects have been completed or are in progress in Samariang constituen­cy.

Also present was organising chairman Zamahari Saidi.
