"We are very fortunate as we can celebrate Christmas in a very peaceful environment with a high degree of tolerance among the various faiths in Sarawak. We have to sustain and protect it," he said.
Speaking at the Anglican Christmas Open-house at St Thomas Cathedral in Kuching on Monday , he said the church in Lutong sets a good example by allowing Muslims to park their car in their premises for Friday prayer. He added that the mosque does the same by allowing church members to park their cars in their compound."When you have a patient in front of you, you don't think of his background. You don't think of his faith. Whether the patient is a Christian, whether the doctor is a Muslim or other faiths, your prime objective is to make sure the patient survives," he said.
Abang Johari said the state has set up Unifor to assist houses of worship and mission schools financially.Abang Johari also congratulated the Christian community for contributing to the development of the state. Among those attending the open-house were the Premier's wife, Datuk Amar Juma’ani Tuanku Bujang, deputy premier Datuk Amar Douglas Ugah Embas and Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
