Its president Datuk William Mawan anak Ikom also pledged to donate another RM 100,00 to the only independent Chinese school in Bintulu, Kai Dee Secondary School, to show the party’s support of Chinese education.  

Mawan, who is also the Minister of Social Development and Urbanisation, pointed out more Bumiputras parents nowadays were sending their children to Chinese primary schools over the past 10 years. 

“Nowadays those Bumiputras can even speak and write Chinese language which I firmly believe will augur well to enhance mutual understanding and promote unity, harmonious relationship among the different races in our multiracial society,” he said when officiating the opening ceremony of a fund raising show performed by Shanghai International Acrobatic Troupe held at Muhibbah Indoor Stadium here.  

Mawan said the donation was meant to help the Board of Management of the SJK Chung Hua Bintulu build an administrative building block at its branch school in Tanjung Kidurong.
