MUAR: Non-Muslims in the country have been urged not to feel apprehensive over calls made by leaders for the Muslims to unite.
Deputy Prime Minister [DPM] Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said that as the core community, unity among the Muslims was important for the country’s stability.
This, he said, would also benefit other communities.
Muhyiddin, speaking at the Pagoh Umno division Quran recital session, said it was vital for Muslims to unite under one group to strengthen solidarity.
“I mention this matter because former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had recently said that Muslims in the country have split into three or four groups.
“The splits can be due to political differences or other reasons, and this can weaken the Muslims,” he said.
Muhyiddin, who was accompanied by his wife Puan Sri Norainee Abdul Rahman, said Malaysia had been a model Islamic nation since Independence.
Peace in a proclaimed 'Islamic state'? You mean peacefully submitting to Islamic supremacism and foregoing one's freedom forever?He said that for the past 54 years, the people of various races and religious beliefs had enjoyed peace, prosperity and development, including in education.
