Make best use of Ramadan by uniting the ummah, says Zahid


KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has urged Muslims to make the best use of the holy month of Ramadan by closing ranks.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, said differences in opinions and political ideologies should not disrupt the unity of the ummah that has been built over the years.

"This Ramadan, let's forget all the uncertainties in terms of different views or opinions," he said when attending the ministry’s Ramadan event at Masjid Batu 8, Gombak Utara today (March 24).

The event will also be held in 12 other states throughout the fasting month.

Ahmad Zahid also called on all parties in the unity government to continue to strengthen ties and work with each other.

He said this was important because the ties among administrators and officials at all levels would allow the people's problems to be dealt with effectively. - Bernama
