Yap (sixth right) and others jointly lead the cake-cutting ceremony for the Parent's Day programme. KUCHING (June 24): The Sarawak United Peoples' Party (SUPP) Kota Sentosa Branch remains committed to bringing about people-centric development to the constituents of the Kota Sentosa seat, said its chairman Wilfred Yap. The Kota Sentosa assemblyman said drainage systems, road safety, and public facilities had been improved through various initiatives, including allocations from the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP). 'We continue to work tirelessly to uplift the standard of living and infrastructure in our area, including support for schools and community organisations,' he said during the Parent's Day dinner organised by the SUPP Kota Sentosa Women Section on Sunday. Yap noted that the progress witnessed in Kota Sentosa today was not by chance, but the result of sustained effort, careful planning, and the solid foundation laid by the leaders and pioneers of SUPP. 'Their sacrifices and contributions deserve deepest gratitude and continued recognition,' he added. 'As current leaders, members and supporters, it is our shared responsibility to carry this legacy forward with unity and determination. 'We must remain focused on delivering meaningful progress, enhancing quality of life, and ensuring a better future for all residents of Kota Sentosa.' He also expressed appreciation to the Women Section for organising the event, which he believed held deep meaning and significance for the local community. The event, he said, served as a timely reminder of the invaluable role parents play in shaping the lives of their children and nurturing responsible citizens. 'The values embodied by parents—care, sacrifice, responsibility, and unconditional love—are the very principles that SUPP stands for in our service to the people. 'Just as parents prioritise the well-being of their children, we in SUPP Kota Sentosa have consistently placed the needs and interests of our constituents first,' said Yap.

Son donates liver to mother, tells her, 'Don't worry about it'
A story of a 54-year-old son donating part of his liver to his severely ill mother was shared by Chung-Ang University Hospital on Wednesday, ahead of Parents' Day on Thursday. According to the hospital, the 75-year-old woman surnamed Moon made a full recovery from the April 15 liver transplant and was discharged Friday. It marked the 100th successful liver transplant of the hospital's organ transplant center. The medical staff celebrated the full recovery of patient and her son surnamed Oh, who was discharged 10 days after the operation. The hospital staff presented them with carnation that is traditionally given to parents on Parent's Day. The patient had suffered from a series of liver diseases, including a 2023 diagnosis of liver cancer. Her condition had deteriorated with symptoms such as coughing up blood and fluid buildup in the abdomen, at which point doctors recommended a liver transplant. She initially hesitated taking liver from her son, but he reassured her, saying, "Don't worry about it. Just get better." Professor Suh Suk-won of general surgery at the hospital, who performed the operation, said he was glad both the donor's and recipient's liver functions recovered, and expressed his wishes that the mother and son live long and healthy lives.
