Among those who attended the 45-minute session with the Prime Minister were Ministers in the Prime Minister’s Department Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon and Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom as well as representatives from the Islamic Development Department, Institute of Islamic Understanding, Allied Co-ordinating Committee of Islamic NGOs (Accin), Malaysian Consultative Council on Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST), Interfaith Spiritual Fellowship, and Fatwa Management and Research Institute.
Ilani said Najib would also be hosting a gathering with leaders of religious bodies on Wednesday.
MCCBCHST president Rev Dr Thomas Philips said the meeting was a manifestation of Najib’s commitment to further improve unity among the society based on the 1Malaysia spirit.
Accin representative Zaid Kamarudin said the body supported the positive approach which the committee had embarked on to promote understanding and harmony among Malaysians.
“We must continue such efforts for the good of all and find ways to help strengthen the family institution and tackle social issues. Accin is committed to help ensure all these efforts and objectives are successful,” he said.
