Bishop Danald’s election to lead the Council of Churches of Malaysia marks a moment of pride not only for the Anglican community but for the Christian faith across Malaysia. He has long been a voice of unity, compassion, and spiritual leadership in Sarawak and Brunei, and his appointment reflects strong confidence in his ability to lead the Christian council on national matters.
