KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysians are encouraged to take some time off to reflect and learn from the tragedies that have occurred in the country, namely the tragic landslide in Batang Kali and the floods that hit many states, especially in the east coast.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he hoped the public will brave these times together in peace and harmony.

“Indeed, this is a test to evaluate our love and sincerity,” he said in a post on Facebook today.

The rural and regional development minister also wished a merry Christmas to all Malaysians, especially Christians throughout the country.

On behalf of the “entire extended family at the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office and the Rural and Regional Development Ministry”, Zahid said he hoped everyone will be happy and enjoy the love of family members and friends.

Christmas is celebrated on December 25 every year by Christians. – Bernama, December 24, 2022
