Its president Datuk Dr Joginder Singh said the association sup-ported Barisan for continuous unity, progress and security.
“The Sikh community is thank- ful for the help and support given by the government and the former Member of Parlia- ment. We will continue to give our support,” said Dr Joginder Singh.
He said that although the Sikh community was a minority group, it had played its part in nation building.
He said previously, the Sikhs were involved in petty trades and security but today through better education, many of them have become professionals.
Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid said the country had assimilated the various races since Merdeka.
“The Barisan Government has been providing good education, economic development, a good social society and a safe place to live in for all,” Mahdzir said at the Malam Muhibbah Masya- rakat Sikh Kedah dinner held at the Beng Siew Hall in Sungai Pe-tani.
