Announcing this, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the foundation was in line with the Malaysian Family concept and a manifestation of Malaysians’ care for children affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. “As such, I humbly call on the entire Malaysian family to share their love with these children,” Ismail Sabri said when launching the Malaysian Family concept at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching last night. “My hope is that through Yayasan Keluarga Malaysia, no Malaysian child will have to suffer alone.”On the Malaysian Family concept, Ismail Sabri said it was not merely rhetoric but represented the government’s commitment to protecting the people’s interest and well-being, which is akin to caring for a family. “To me, the concept of Malaysian Family is everyone living as a family regardless of race, language, religion, status in society or ability, with no discrimination of any sort,” said Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV) general manager Jane Lian Labang. For author of children’s books Malcolm Mejin, Sarawak’s natural and cultural attractions can promote the Malaysian Family agenda through well-planned activities and visits.
