KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has called on Malaysians especially Muslims to be grateful for being able to carry out the Ramadan fasting without any disturbance and to celebrate Aidilfitri today peacefully.
He said many Muslims were unable to fast in peace as their countries were unstable with some facing famine while others were exposed to threats which put their lives at risk.
“On the other hand, here we are enjoying food of enormous choices. The fate of Muslims in the country is good indeed. Even without much effort we are getting to enjoy many things. We celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri joyfully and in a relaxed manner in this blessed country,” he said in his Aidilfitri 2019 message that was broadcast live on local television stations last night.
The Prime Minister also reminded the people to continue to work hard because without hard work it would not be possible to remain at a comfortable level.
He said Allah would not fulfill people’s prayers and wishes unless they themselves made an effort to change their fate. –Bernama
