KUALA LUMPUR – Initiatives and efforts to sow the seeds of unity, peace, and harmony are not just the responsibility of the government, but of each and every citizen, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today.
Anwar said all messages or statements that promote hatred or instigate differences among each other must be defeated by a sense of love and peace.
“As a multiracial country whose people comprise various religions and cultures, it is the duty of every individual to seize the opportunity to strengthen existing relationships by offering kind or inspirational words.
“Merry Christmas to the Christian community. Christmas is an important festival celebrated by the Christians, and they celebrate the festival every year with their loved ones, friends, and other Malaysians every year,” he said in his 2022 Christmas Day message on Facebook.
The prime minister said he hoped this year’s Christmas Day celebrations will be merrier, more meaningful, peaceful, and harmonious, and serve as a bridge to unite people of all races who love peace and prosperity.
He also reminded those going back to their hometowns to be careful while driving.
Christmas will be celebrated by the Christian community all over the world tomorrow. – Bernama, December 24, 2022
