Preserve harmony, diversity as nation's identity, says Zahid in Thaipusam message


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says the harmony enjoyed by Malaysia today stems from mutual respect and the willingness to share space as a nation anchored in unity.

The Deputy Prime Minister said that these values must continue to be preserved to ensure the country's peace and stability remain safeguarded for future generations.

"Cultural and religious diversity is among the key foundations that shape the nation's identity. In our differences, we learn to understand one another. In diversity, we find the strength to continue living as one united society," he said in a post on X on Saturday (Jan 31).

He also extended Thaipusam greetings to all Hindus in Malaysia celebrating the festival and expressed hope that the unity enjoyed by the nation will continue to be preserved so that Malaysia remains peaceful, stable and prosperous for the present and future generations. – Bernama
