KUCHING - The Kembara Kenali Borneo tour inspired by Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah provided an opportunity for His Majesty to build a "bridge of friendship" between the regions of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.

Al-Sultan Abdullah said he came up with the tour simply to allow him to meet the people in the provinces of Sabah and Sarawak more closely.

"(This tour) provides an opportunity to build a new bridge where there is no river. The bridge is a bridge of friendship. My presence, and that of my family, my entourage is as if representing part of the people in the Peninsula.

"I, representing the Malay Rulers, am extending my arms to all as one Malaysian family in our beloved country," said His Majesty at the closing ceremony of the tour and a dinner hosted by the Sarawak government here.

According to Al-Sultan Abdullah, the welcome displayed by the people in Sabah and Sarawak throughout the journey was unexpected and will be sweet memories for him and his family - BERNAMA
