KUALA LUMPUR: The Jom! Karnival Kucing Madani cat showcase attended by people of all races proves that such carnivals can serve as a platform to unite Malaysians, says Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

The wife of the Prime Minister, who is also Bandar Tun Razak MP, said the public’s encouraging response demonstrated that Malaysians were a united family with strong bonds and mutual goodwill. 

“Previously, sports brought people together; today ... cats are uniting the people,” she said in her speech at the carnival’s closing ceremony yesterday at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) Training Centre in Bandar Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur, Bernama reported.

It was read by Social and Economic Research Initiative chairman Nurul Izzah Anwar. 

She also congratulated the organisers and thanked the sponsors for their commitment to advocating animal welfare.

“Other companies should emulate initiatives like this as part of the effort to instil good values in society. Also, thanks to the volunteers from various NGOs who contributed to the success of this carnival,” she added.
