Unable to be in Miri for the official festivities due to the ongoing Dewan Rakyat sitting, the MPs instead came together over a spread of Sarawakian dishes to honour their shared heritage and identity. Minister of Works and GPS secretary-general, Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi, said the gathering was a meaningful way to celebrate Sarawak Day, even while fulfilling their parliamentary duties. 'Sometimes, the most meaningful moments are created at the dining table. 'More than just food, today's gathering reflects our bond as one big 'anak Sarawak' family,' Nanta shared in a Facebook post. Among the local favourites served were Sarawak laksa, mee kolok, nasi goreng dabai, and kuih penyaram. Present at the gathering were Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri, and Deputy Economy Minister Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib. alexander nanta linggi gps Mps parliament sarawak day
