PM was greeted by thousand smiles as he made his way to Kampung Semera in Sadong Jaya. He and the Chief Minister of Sarawak performed a walkabout around the village accompanied by other leaders from UMNO and PBB ie Hishamudin Hussein, Zahid Hamidi, Abang Johari, Wan Wahab and Nancy Shukri.
During the walkabout, Najib made a finishing touch to Surau Darul Makmur, witnessed by many cheerful faces. All the villagers were happy to meet the 1Malaysia champion, DS Najib Razak!!! Apart from greeting the PM and CM, they also managed to perform the Zuhur prayer together. It must be a delightful feeling for Sadong Jaya to have the honour of welcoming the PM and CM to their village.
