PETALING JAYA: No country can combat religious extremism alone, said Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

“It is crucial now, more than ever, that we put on a united front, build a coalition and a movement of moderates with like-minded nations, (as well as) to be the voice of reason to counter terrorism and extremism – a principle which has guided Malaysia’s recent overtures in foreign policy,” said the Defence Minister at the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue 16th Asia Security Summit.
