Speaking during a programme with KRT members in Segamat after meeting civil servants in Melaka, Anwar praised the role played by KRT communities in fostering neighbourly ties, strengthening unity and helping to preserve peace and harmony within society.
He said Malaysia’s strength lies in the ability of its people, regardless of race, religion or background, to live together in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust. He stressed that efforts to sow hatred and division among the people must be countered through the spirit of unity that has long formed the foundation of the nation’s stability.
