KOTA KINABALU: Every Ramadan, the Church of Mary Immaculate, a Roman Catholic church, in Bukit Padang near here will open its gates to allow Muslims and non-Muslims alike to park there before buying f
ood and drinks from nearby bazaars.
Visitor Mohd Zaki Harry Susanto recently shared a video showing vehicles coming in and out of the church compound to park as people visited the Ramadan bazaar just beside it for food and drinks. "As a Sabahan, I truly hope such tolerance can be preserved forever. There is no need to be over-prejudiced and suspicious of each other in this multi-religious nation as we keep our own religions sacred," he said, adding:"Our country, our responsibility."
"Togetherness brings blessings," he said when asked about what he thought about the church allowing bazaar-goers to park in its compound.
