KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has vowed that his government will be sensitive towards all religions.
“At the same time, every one of us must obey the rule of law,” he added in a Twitter post on Jan 11. The posting came after his meeting with council members of the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST) at his office in Putrajaya.
The prime minister said despite the differences, Malaysia is more peaceful than some countries in terms of racial harmony and religious tolerance.
MCCBCHST vice-president Sardar Jagir Singh said Mahathir assured the government will be inclusive of all.
“We discussed various issues of concern and an inclusive Malaysia. Tun (Mahathir) heard all issues patiently and said he would personally look into them.
“He also affirmed that the Harapan government will be inclusive and will be guided by the Federal Constitution and the rule of law.” — Malaysiakini
