MP: Learn from disharmony in troubled nations
Malaysians should learn from the chaos, conflict and disharmony in many troubled countries due to extremism and religious fanaticism so as to maintain unity and harmony in this country, Kudat member of parliament Abdul Rahim Bakri said today.
He said Malaysians should take pride in the fact that despite living in a multiracial and multireligious country, they were able to practise moderation and maintain harmony.
"Our success in promoting moderation has earned us the respect of the global community.
"We promote conflict resolution and give priority to consultation to avert quarrels based on religion and ethnicity," Rahim(right) said at a Christmas celebration of Chinese Christians at the Pei Tsin Hall in Kudat.
Abdul Rahim, who is federal deputy transport minister, praised the Christian community in Sabah for helping the government to promote moderation among the followers which, he said, should serve as an example for all communities.
