A RM200,000 grant has been greenlit for St. Edward Catholic Church in Batu Kawa under the Sarawak administration’s ongoing initiatives to foster interfaith harmony. The announcement was made today by Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah during a modest handover event at the church grounds.
Through the state’s Religious Institutions Grant programme, the money will fund the enlargement and renovation of the church’s multi-purpose hall and parking zone, enhancing its ability to accommodate community gatherings and outreach activities. “Upgrading worship sites’ infrastructure across faiths bolsters the mutual respect and understanding that hallmark our diverse state,” said Abdul Karim.
Rev. Eddie Carnero of St. Edward’s Church conveyed deep gratitude for the assistance. “This support will have a significant impact on our parish and surrounding community, enabling us to extend more comprehensive assistance to those in need,” he added.
Abdul Karim pointed out that mosques, temples and suraus across Sarawak have recently received comparable funding. “Such contributions underscore our dedication to unity. When each faith community is equipped with adequate facilities, we advance together in harmony and solidarity,” he remarked.
Following the handover, the minister inspected the church’s construction areas and engaged with volunteer parishioners. He lauded their commitment and urged all Sarawakians to keep up the collaborative spirit in promoting interreligious cooperation.
