A LEGACY OF UNITY: THE GRAND OPENING OF THE UNIFOR COMPLEX

Unifor Complex, Jalan Ong Tiang Swee
Today, history was etched in gold. We are profoundly honored to celebrate the Official Opening of the UNIFOR Complex, officiated by the Premier of Sarawak, YAB Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg. This RM75 million architectural masterpiece stands as a soaring testament to Sarawak’s Post-COVID Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030—a living symbol of social inclusivity, religious harmony, and the enduring spirit of Segulai Sejalai.
Leadership & Vision in Action
Our deepest gratitude goes our Premier and the Sarawak Government for their visionary patronage. We also extend our highest commendations to YB Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, Deputy Premier and Minister In-Charge of UNIFOR. As Chairman of the Sarawak UNIFOR Charitable Trust (SUCT), his steadfast leadership—alongside the collaborative efforts of the UNIFOR team and partnering agencies—has transformed an ambitious dream into a triumphant reality for all Sarawakians.
A Journey of Faith, Transparency, & Accountability
The highlight of the ceremony was the 15-panel LED immersive walkway on Level 1. This digital gallery showcased the vibrant tapestry of our stakeholders: Christians, Buddhists, Taoists, Hindus, Sikhs, and Baha’is. More than just an exhibition, the display served as a Social Accountability Report, detailing how UNIFOR funds have been prudently utilised since its inception in 2017 to build and upgrade houses of worship and mission schools. During the tour, the YAB Premier expressed his profound admiration for the transparency and the tangible impact these funds have had on grassroots communities.
A Symphony of Sarawakian Culture
The atmosphere was electrified by performances that captured the spiritual heartbeat of our land:
The Rhythmic Heartbeat:
A thunderous, synchronised drum performance by the Federation of Sarawak Temple Associations, symbolising the resilience and cultural pride UNIFOR protects.
Ethereal Grace:
A serene Dun Huang dance by the Federation of Buddhist Associations Sarawak, reflecting the compassion and spiritual tranquility central to the faith.
Celestial Harmony:
A soul-stirring choir performance by the Association of Churches in Sarawak (St. Thomas’s Cathedral and St. James choirs). Their rendition of "You Shall Be My Faithful Witnesses" echoed the mutual respect that is Sarawak’s greatest strength.
With Sincere Gratitude
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Heads of Religions, our dedicated stakeholders, and collaborative government agencies including JKR and UPPANS. A special mention to the creative designers whose LED backdrops transformed the venue into a sanctuary of light and unity.
In Sarawak, our diversity is not just our identity—it is our ultimate strength.
