PETALING JAYA: Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hisham-muddin Hussein has called on Malaysians to put aside political and ideological differences to observe the day of mourning.

“I call on everyone to put aside everything else – skin colour, religion, politics – for just one day. Let’s come together and pay respects to them,” he said.
