PBK tonight urged the Sarawak state administration to underwrite live broadcasts of the Christmas Mass on government-run television and radio. In a press release, the party’s spokesperson proposed airing the ceremony—ideally from one of Kuching’s venerable Catholic cathedrals—to showcase the administration’s esteem for the Christian community and highlight Sarawak’s enduring dedication to religious and cultural pluralism.

The party recommended that the state organise a 30- to 45-minute live feed on both TV and radio, similar to the coverage given to Hari Raya or Gawai festivities. It maintained that this service would benefit those unable to attend in person—such as senior citizens or residents in outlying districts—and would also convey a strong message of solidarity among Sarawak’s diverse faiths and ethnicities.

Pointing out that other Malaysian states and neighbouring nations routinely televise prominent religious ceremonies during their festive seasons, PBK asserted that Sarawak should adopt the same practice. The party added that the expense of such a broadcast would be minimal compared to the goodwill and sense of inclusion it would generate among Christian households.

PBK called on Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg and his cabinet to place the proposal on the agenda for the next state executive council meeting, aiming to finalise plans well ahead of December’s Christmas celebrations. The party expressed confidence that televising the Christmas Mass would be warmly received by Sarawakians from all walks of life.
