PETALING JAYA: The Council of Churches Malaysia welcomes the decree of the Majlis Raja-Raja (Council of Rulers) that leaders of political parties must stop raising racial and religious issues to instigate or incite the public.

Council of Churches of Malaysia general-secretary Rev Jonathan Jesudas said the decrees of Their Majesties for the government to instil the spirit of equality among the people and to emphasise the Rukun Negara as the basis of Malaysian society are timely and vital for the full functioning of the Malaysian polity under a unity government.
