LDP's Chin gets invite to Mazu temple

Kota Kinabalu: President of the Federation of Hainan Association Sabah and Federal Territory of Labuan, John Lim Yu Sin, has invited Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Deputy President Senator Datuk Chin Su Phin to visit the Mazu temple in Meizhou, China, to better understand Mazu culture.Lim would be going to Meizhou to visit the temple where the Mazu temple and statue in Pantai Bak-Bak Kudat originated from.

He said even though Chin is not a Mazu believer, he was extending the sincere invitation for him to have a better understanding of the Mazu culture caring spirit.

Lim believed that if Chin were to join the trip, Chin would have a better and deeper understanding about Mazu culture that would, in turn, make him release better press statements when it comes to Mazu related issues.

The trip takes place before the association's ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of Mazu statue and temple in Kudat.
