Chin National Day
Will FOWLES (Ringwood) (09:55): I rise today to acknowledge the recent celebration of the 77th Chin National Day, which took place on 20 February. This day marks a significant moment in Burmese history: the inception of democratic government for the Chin people. It is a day of pride, reflection and remembrance for the Chin community, one of a number of proud Burmese communities in the eastern suburbs. I was delighted to join the celebrations and extend my thanks to Piang Lilian and the Chin community for their warm invitation. The event was a vibrant showcase of Chin culture, featuring traditional dancers and beautifully crafted attire. It was fantastic to see the traditions and history of the Chin people on display, highlighting the strength and spirit of their community.
