Eid al-Fitr

I as the Chairman of Yayasan Pendidikan Kawasan Bandar Tun Razak stated that Eid al-Fitr is the time of spiritual reflection and worship.

During this period, Muslim are encouraged dedicate their love and care by spending quality time together with their parents and family. This will not only to strengthen the family bond within the family members, but it is also an important moment for thanksgiving as well as forgiving.

As Malaysian, we are indeed very fortunate and should be thankful because we are able to live together in this peaceful country and celebrate with each other different auspicious festivals together since independence 50 years ago.

I believe that Malaysian have wise and prudent national leader. Unlike other countries which are facing various political crisis such as ethnic conflict and civil wars which causing the people suffering. Malaysia is a harmonious country with multi-ethnic and multi religious groups where we live in peace and tranquility environment.

To sustain the harmony in the country, unity is vital among all the multi ethnic groups in Malaysia. In this respect, we should respect, tolerate, patient and willing to accept each other.

Ramadhan is a month of fasting in Islamic calendar. Muslim all around the world will abstrain from food and drink, through fasting, from dawn to sunset.

And will later gather together for break fast after sunset. During fasting period,  non Muslims are also invited to join break fast together. The Holy month of Ramadhan also reminds the people to practice good values such like saving besides doing good deeds and a special moment for family and friends reunion.

I wish that the spirit of Eid-Al-Fitr will remind everyone of us the importance of unity to build our country together towards free from crime, evil, corruption and war.

In conjunction with the 1 Malaysia’s objective – People First, Performance Now, I must add that the Government has implementing a number of strategic plans to ensure the country achieves unity and harmony such as the New National Harmony Act.
