KUCHING – In the true spirit of community and togetherness, the Kuching South City Council (MBKS) once again brought festive cheer to local residents and hawkers in conjunction with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Mayor of Kuching South, Dato Wee Hong Seng, led the heartwarming initiative, joined by Deputy Mayor Dato Zaiedi Bin Suhaili, councillors, and MBKS staff. Together, they personally distributed mooncakes to residents at KMC Flats as well as to hawkers operating in markets and food centres under MBKS’ jurisdiction.
The visit was more than a gesture of celebration — it served as an opportunity for the Council to engage directly with the people, hear their concerns, and strengthen community ties. The cheerful exchanges and smiles that filled the air reflected Kuching South’s warm and inclusive community spirit.
Dato Wee said the Mid-Autumn Festival, though originating from Chinese culture, carries values that transcend ethnicity — reunion, gratitude, and unity — all of which are shared by the people of Sarawak.
“Food and culture have the power to bring people together. Through events like this, we unite our community through gastronomy, friendship, and respect, ensuring that no one is left behind. This is what makes Kuching South a caring and connected city,” Dato Wee said.
He also highlighted the importance of maintaining Sarawak’s multicultural harmony, noting that Kuching’s diversity is its greatest strength.
“We will continue to promote community programmes that celebrate unity through diversity and strengthen social bonds. MBKS remains committed to building a harmonious and inclusive society for everyone,” he added.
The mooncake distribution brought smiles to many faces and served as a gentle reminder that every festival is an opportunity to build bridges, foster understanding, and share joy across all communities in Kuching South.
