KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 — The Deepavali celebration should serve as a platform to strengthen unity, bridge gaps between communities and foster values of compassion and concern for those in need.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that in a multiracial society rooted in diverse cultures and traditions, the values of mutual respect, understanding and the acceptance of differences must continue to be reinforced.
“May this Deepavali inspire a renewed spirit to foster a more open, noble and progressive mindset, thereby elevating the dignity of the people and strengthening the nation’s harmony,” he said in a Facebook post today.
Anwar also extended his Deepavali greetings to all those celebrating the festival, expressing his hope that it brings happiness, peace and prosperity.
