PUTRAJAYA, March 12 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim issued a stern warning today to all parties against attempting to sow division in the country.
He said strict action would be taken against anyone who incites hatred, whether through racial, religious, or socio-economic discrimination.
“Rest assured, we will take the strongest possible action to put an end to any elements that could bring disaster and misfortune to our nation.
“Let us exercise good judgment and distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, truth and falsehood. Especially now, in Malaysia, we must focus on these matters and ensure that our country is not tainted by racial and religious extremism,” Anwar said.
Anwar was speaking at a breaking-fast event with corporate entities and government-linked companies today.
Earlier, he urged all Malaysians to act as agents of unity and support the Madani government’s efforts to unite people of all backgrounds, religions and ethnicities.
According to the Prime Minister's Senior Press Secretary Tunku Nashrul Abaidah during the Prime Minister’s Office's briefing shared on Facebook today, such measures are crucial to preserving Malaysia’s racial harmony and social cohesion.
