KUCHING: The Chinese community in Sematan Town and Kampung Sebandi Hulu in Lundu district have received letters of authority to form 1Malaysia Community (K1M).
Lundu Information Officer Sariddin Kederi said the formation of K1M is in line with the Information Department’s transformation which focuses on the 1Malaysia Policy, the brainchild of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
