BEAUFORT: Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations in Sabah once again shine as a powerful symbol of unity, bringing together people of diverse races and religions in a spirit of harmony and mutual respect.
Chief Coordinator of Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (StarSabah) and Acting Head of the Klias Division, Albun Jin Tze Vun, said that celebrating Aidilfitri across racial and religious lines is a defining feature of Sabahan identity—one that continues to safeguard peace and cohesion among its richly diverse communities.
“Aidilfitri is not just a celebration for Muslims. It is embraced by people of all backgrounds, who come together to attend open house gatherings filled with warmth, friendship and goodwill.
In the same spirit, during Chinese New Year, the Malay community joins in celebrating with their Chinese counterparts across Sabah, especially through open house traditions.
Likewise, the Chinese community actively takes part in Hari Raya Aidilfitri festivities by attending similar gatherings,” he said when met by reporters at the Hari Raya Aidilfitri Open House held at the residence of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri, Tun Dr. Haji Musa Haji Aman, in Kampung Bingkul, Beaufort, on Monday.
He noted that such moments reflect the unique cultural fabric of Sabah, where diversity is not merely accepted but genuinely celebrated, fostering deep understanding and connection beyond festive seasons.
“In Sabah, we remain committed to strengthening unity and deepening bonds among our multi-ethnic communities through celebrations like Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Christmas, Chinese New Year, and many more,” he added.
