KUALA LUMPUR:Prime Minister Najib Razak has urged all Malaysians to respect each other’s religion and culture to preserve peace and stability of the country.
He said Malaysians, regardless of race and religious background, should also reject any form of extremism to maintain harmony among the communities.
“We should continue the moderation (practised) in this country. I believe that we must reject any form of extremism, whether it is religion or racial.
“We must always respect each other’s religion, culture and every single ethnic group. And as Prime Minister, I believe that I must represent all communities and ethnics in this country,” he said in his speech at the Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia (Huazong) Appreciation Dinner here on Friday.
The event was held in appreciation of the donors who have contributed to the construction of Huazong’s new building costing RM80mil.
Najib said the contributors would receive tax exemption. “The government has also contributed RM5 million to support the construction of Huazong new building,” he said. “I believe with this new building, Huazong can play more effective roles for Malaysia to achieve high-income country in 2020.”
The 12-storey building in Kajang was expected to be completed in October or November this year.
