PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his Cabinet have extended their Christmas greetings to all Malaysians celebrating the day, expressing hopes that the occasion would further strengthen unity among the people, and for everyone to embrace diversity.

“I often emphasise that the differences in race and culture are the recipe for prosperity in any country that seeks harmony and peace based on the principle of coexistence,” said Anwar.
