KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor assured that the State Government stands firmly for equity and impartiality, giving unwavering support to all irrespective of race and religion.
“Our commitment to fostering non-religious educational and organisational support remains steadfast, promoting unity, harmony and religious tolerance,” he said at the Walk for Jesus-Hope 2025 programme at Padang Merdeka yesterday.
The event was organised by the Sabah Council of Churches, local inter-church groups and the Prison Fellowship Sabah Association (PFSA).
Hajiji’s speech was delivered by Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister Datuk Abidin Madingkir.
He congratulated the organisers for successfully holding the biennial event, describing it as a testament to the cohesive spirit within the Christian community in Kota Kinabalu and beyond.
“The simultaneous Walk for Jesus across 26 towns in Sabah truly exemplifies unity in prayer and purpose,” he said.
He added that the journey was a testament to devout Christians, affirming God’s presence and influence in their lives.
“Walking in divine harmony is both physically and spiritually uplifting, embodying the strength of collective support and transcending physical limitations.
“I hope this event brings blessings to the people of Sabah, as you traverse towns with prayers while garnering support for the underprivileged.
“Your noble intent symbolises the Church’s compassion, transcending race, faith and belief. Such initiatives will inspire trust, unity and goodwill within our community,” he said.
