The grant was made possible following the church’s application for funding assistance, which Yap had earlier supported and advocated for.
He said he was pleased to see the application successfully receive the Sarawak government’s support, reflecting its commitment to ensuring that places of worship across communities are properly supported and maintained.
“I am pleased to be able to hand over this UNIFOR grant to the Parish Council of Blessed Sacrament Church BDC. I had earlier supported the church’s application because I believe that our places of worship play an important role not only in spiritual life, but also in bringing communities together.”
He stressed that the upgrading of places of worship is part of Sarawak’s broader commitment to strengthening community infrastructure and ensuring that no community is left behind.
“This is what a Sarawak First approach is about — listening to the needs of our communities and working together to find practical solutions. Regardless of race or religion, every community deserves the opportunity to have safe, functional and conducive facilities.”
