Chan Chao Yao: The Irreplaceable Wisdom of Seniors; Emotional Care Surpasses Material Possessions

(Miri, 14th) Sarawak Deputy Minister of Tourism, Dato Chan Chao Yao, pointed out that the wisdom and sharing accumulated by senior citizens through life's experiences are precious gifts that can never be replaced by any material possessions.

Yesterday morning, he was unable to attend the Miri Senior Service Center's Christmas and New Year Gathering due to unforeseen reasons. His speech was read by his representative, Penghulu Fang Fung Kim.

He said that the meaning of festivals lies not only in celebration, but also in reminding everyone to cherish each other and care for the people around them. The warmth and blessings of Christmas should not remain only within the festive season, but should be extended to every day of our lives.

He expressed that this gathering is not just a festive event, but also an important platform for fostering emotional bonds and spreading care.

He hopes that in the coming year, he will continue to walk hand in hand with the center's members, jointly practicing the spirit of “happy living”—not only living healthily, but also living splendidly.

He also hopes to create beautiful memories belonging to everyone through more communication and gatherings, so that every day is filled with laughter and gratitude.
