Happy New Year: (Jan 1) In his New Year message Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad said peace and stability are the only foolproof defences for Malaysia from becoming another victim of the worsening world scenario. He said if peace can be preserved, efforts could be concentrated towards developing the country for the overall good of the people. He advised extreme groups to be sensitive to all communities by not making unreasonable demands that could jeopardise the stability of the country.
