PUTRAJAYA: Asean, which has over 240 million Muslim population, should speak as one about the mo­deration and heritage that have become the region’s heritage, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

In these dark times where there is negative perception against Islam and its followers, he said the message that Islam was a religion of peace, justice and inclusivity needed to be spread far and wide.
