KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on all Malaysians to reflect on the noble values that form the foundation of harmonious community life in conjunction with the Wesak Day celebration today.
He said these values, particularly wisdom, moderation, compassion and kindness towards fellow human beings, are not only celebrated within religious traditions but remain highly relevant in building a society founded on mutual understanding and respect.
In a nation characterised by diverse cultures, religions and backgrounds, he said the values of love, compassion and kindness highlighted during Wesak carry profound significance, especially at a time when certain groups seek to sow discord among different races and faiths.
“I believe that the spread of love and compassion will drown out the incitements for hatred, dispel prejudice, and strengthen mutual respect and understanding, which are the foundations of national harmony and unity,” he said in a Facebook post today.
The Prime Minister also expressed hope that this year’s Wesak Day celebration would bring peace, well-being and happiness to Buddhists in the country.
He said the occasion should also serve as a catalyst for further strengthening the humanitarian values that unite Malaysians as a civilised and dignified nation.
Wesak Day is celebrated by Buddhists around the world to commemorate three significant events in the life of Siddhartha Gautama — his birth, enlightenment and death. — Bernama
