Dr M Urges Muslims To Stay United, Put Aside Political Differences

(The Sun Daily) – Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad urged the Malays and Muslims in the country to set aside political differences to avoid disunity.

He said Malays and Muslims in the country need to stay united and hold fast to the teachings of Islam as prescribed in the Quran and  authentic Hadith.

“We are not only fellow Muslims but we also follow the teachings of Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah, therefore we should not be divided as we share similar beliefs.

“I hope we can reunite Muslims in Malaysia who are split up following differences in political affiliation,” he said at the breaking-of-the-fast event at the Malaysian Islamic Welfare Organisation (Perkim) here today.

Also present were his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali and Perkim honorary secretary-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Yusof Noor.
