SEBERANG PERAI, May 26 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said the spirit of sacrifice should extend beyond religious obligations and serve as a reminder of perseverance, social responsibility and helping those in need.
He said Malaysia has remained resilient despite economic uncertainty and global tensions.
He said the practice of sacrifice in Islam carried values of faith, patience and a commitment to improving society.
“The act of korban (sacrifice) was not solely a personal form of worship but one that should also benefit the wider community, particularly the poor and needy,” he said in a speech at the Madani Korban Cattle Distribution Ceremony in Seberang Jaya here.
“Without sacrifice and the spirit of struggle, there is no meaning in life,” he added.
Anwar said worship should strengthen not only a person’s relationship with God but also with society.
He said the benefits of korban should be shared with neighbours, families and vulnerable communities rather than being confined within one’s household.
He also welcomed a new approach to korban programmes involving shared contributions from participants who could afford to do so, instead of relying entirely on government support.
He said such participation creates a greater sense of ownership and appreciation for the religious obligation.
As for current economic challenges, Anwar said Malaysia remained in a relatively stable position despite global uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions affecting energy supply chains.
He said Malaysia’s diplomatic ties had helped ensure sufficient petrol supplies despite concerns over disruptions involving shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
“Today, at 6pm, I am expecting a call from the President of Iran,” he said.
He emphasised that this relationship with Iran helps the country as a whole despite criticisms by certain parties labelling him as the “toilet prime minister” who only knows to build ties with other countries.
“When we face difficulties and our ships and oil need to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, we are among the first to be allowed through,” he pointed out.
He also urged Malaysians to remain grateful while continuing to provide criticism and feedback responsibly.
“We can criticise and give views, but we should also be thankful for the blessings we receive,” he said.
