ABOUT 50 children in Butterworth yesterday had an early cheer ahead of Christmas celebration.
The children, who came in a group, were all beaming after receiving Christmas gifts from a church.
Bagan Dalam assemblyman M. Satees was glad to be with the children at the meaningful event.
He said it was important to sow unity in schools.
“We don’t need divisive forces to divide us; we need forces to unite us.
“The message of God stresses love and kindness across all religions, so let’s teach our children to love each other and to be kind to all living things.
“I hope we can have a larger event to celebrate Christmas next year,” he said in his speech after attending the event at NBVM Church in Butterworth today.
The event was full of festive atmosphere in which laughter and excitement filled the air.
