Ini adalah amanah berat dan mencabar untuk membina semula Malaysia. Masa untuk bekerja dengan serius dan fokus! Bukan masa untuk ‘menari goyang’ macam dalam video viral sebelum ni ya!😅 pic.twitter.com/YAWLbVKhKd

It’s a tradition for the locals there to celebrate guests and Tiong actively joining in the celebration showed that he respected the culture.
