KUCHING – As the Gawai Dayak festive season approaches, Dato Wee Hong Seng, Mayor of Kuching South, visited Klinik Kesihatan Tanah Puteh to extend appreciation to healthcare personnel who continue to serve the community during the celebrations.
The mayor was accompanied by MBKS councillor Cr Albert Tay and Kapitan Tan Teck Min. In a gesture of goodwill, Kapitan Tan contributed refreshments for doctors, nurses and support staff, recognising their dedication to patient care throughout the holiday period.
Dato Wee highlighted the vital role of healthcare institutions, noting that they remain operational regardless of weekends, public holidays or festive occasions.
He stressed that the commitment of medical professionals ensures residents have access to essential services whenever required.
“Many of us look forward to celebrating Gawai Dayak with our families, yet there are healthcare workers who continue to report for duty to care for patients and respond to medical needs.
Their willingness to place the needs of others before their own deserves our sincere gratitude and admiration,” he said.
He further emphasised that healthcare personnel provide more than medical treatment, offering comfort, reassurance and support to individuals and families during difficult times. Their professionalism and compassion, he noted, directly impact the well-being of the community.
The mayor expressed his appreciation to the entire team at Klinik Kesihatan Tanah Puteh for their dedication in delivering quality healthcare services and promoting healthier living among residents.
He also conveyed festive greetings to healthcare staff and the Dayak community, wishing them joy, peace and prosperity during the season.
The visit concluded with the distribution of refreshments donated by Kapitan Tan and a brief interaction session with healthcare personnel, underscoring the importance of recognising their commitment and service.
The initiative reflects MBKS’s ongoing efforts to strengthen community ties and acknowledge the contributions of frontline workers, particularly during festive periods when many continue to prioritise public service over personal celebrations.
