In a heartfelt gesture to support the community’s wellbeing, Dr. Kelvin Yii Lee Wuen, MP for P.195 Bandar Kuching and Political Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources, led an initiative to distribute 200 packets of vegetarian meals to residents in Kuching’s Jalan Carpenter, #Padungan, this morning. This distribution, conducted in collaboration with local eatery Kantin MU ZI (木子食堂), marked the first day of the new month in the Chinese lunar calendar.
The initiative aimed to promote good health, peace, and community bonding in a month often observed for its spiritual significance. Recognizing the importance of vegetarianism in Chinese culture during certain lunar phases, the team provided wholesome vegetarian meals prepared with care. Dr. Yii shared, “We hope this small gesture will bring good health and peace to everyone as we start this new month.” The collaboration between Dr. Yii’s team and Kantin MU ZI highlights a shared commitment to fostering community spirit and encouraging health-conscious habits.
Residents of Padungan and nearby areas welcomed the initiative, with many appreciating the symbolic value of receiving vegetarian food on an auspicious day. The distribution also underscores Dr. Yii’s dedication to his constituents, offering support beyond his parliamentary duties. By participating in this thoughtful community service, Dr. Yii and his team aimed to bring people together, respecting both cultural traditions and the wellbeing of local residents.
As the National Chief of the Democratic Action Party Socialist Youth (DAPSY), Dr. Yii continues to inspire youth engagement in community service. His presence at events like this reflects his proactive approach to understanding and addressing the needs of the people he represents. Events like this not only reinforce community bonds but also foster mutual understanding and respect among different cultures within Kuching.
Through such gestures, Dr. Yii hopes to spread the message of unity and support across Kuching and inspire future efforts toward harmony and care for one another.
