BATU KAWAN, July 19 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today reminded the people not to be influenced by racial hatred or express sentiments that could undermine national harmony.
Instead, the prime minister called on the people to embrace unity in diversity, which he described as Malaysia’s strength in driving the country’s development.
He stressed that incitement to racial hatred would not bring about national progress and that only stability could ensure sustainable development.
Anwar said the Madani Government under his leadership was making continuous efforts to resolve the people’s issues, including housing, poverty and the cost of living, without marginalising any race, especially minority communities.
“I wish to remind the people of Malaysia that it is our shared responsibility. If we want to save this country, we must preserve national unity. This is our strength.
“It is true that the Bumiputera Malays are the majority, but if we care for all – Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans and Kadazans – then we will be safe. We must stand united and uphold harmony. This is not merely a matter of necessity but about Malaysia’s survival,” he said when officiating the National-Level Unity Week (SMP) 2025 celebration at the Batu Kawan Stadium grounds here today. — Bernama
