KUALA LUMPUR, Saturday 2 October 2010 (Bernama) -- Malaysians need to continue to emphasise moderation in order to sustain peace and harmony in the country, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon.
He said everyone must fully support the call by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for moderation in society and also in the global community to promote peace and harmony.
"Moderation is definitely the key word and indeed we should be proud to be moderate," he told reporters at the "International Day of Non-Violence" event organised by the Gerakan here today.
In his maiden speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Monday, Najib had urged all nations to "choose moderation over extremism" in an effort to promote international peace and harmony.
Asked about Penang Gerakan's extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on Oct 10, Dr Koh who is also the Gerakan president declined to comment.
Some Penang Gerakan members have called the EGM to seek the ouster of Penang Gerakan chief Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nam.- My SinChew
