In congratulating the incentive recipients, association chairman Kong Siau Kui said the increasing number of recipients each year is proof that parents and students in Kapit place emphasis on education.

On the Mooncake Festival celebration, Kong said the association marks the occasion each year by inviting all its members to join the celebration as a way of promoting friendship and understanding amongst each other.
