I had the pleasure of attending the Annual Prayer of Sri Saiva Munneswarar Temple and was truly honoured to once again be invited to join the temple community on this meaningful occasion.
As soon as I arrived, several members of the temple greeted me warmly and jokingly remarked, “YB, last year you came wearing a red outfit, this year it’s a different colour!” 😊
I was genuinely surprised and touched that they remembered such a small detail. I jokingly replied, “Even I can’t remember what colour I wore last year, but all of you still do!” Moments like these remind me that the relationship we have built over the years goes beyond that of an elected representative and the community—it is a bond of friendship and mutual respect that transcends race, religion and culture.
This is not my first time attending this event. I was also invited last year, and on this occasion, I was pleased to contribute RM2,000 to support the temple’s annual programme. In the past, the temple had also sought assistance for items such as tables and chairs, and my team and I did our best to help wherever possible.
During my speech, I reiterated my commitment to continue supporting meaningful efforts undertaken by places of worship throughout Seri Delima, regardless of faith or background. To me, the diversity of religions and cultures that we enjoy is not a difference that divides us, but a strength that enriches our society and brings our communities closer together. It is something we should cherish, celebrate and protect.
My sincere thanks to the temple management and the entire community for their warm hospitality and friendship. May we continue to strengthen the spirit of mutual respect, understanding and unity that makes Seri Delima such a special place for people of all backgrounds. ❤️
