KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 (Bernama) -- The government has never ignored the
importance of religion in the development of the country as it is the
core to producing responsible, caring and successful citizens.
Deputy Minister of Information Communicationa and Culture Datuk Maglin Dennis D'Cruz said the religious aspect, as enshrined in the constitution and the first Principle 'Belief in God' in the Rukun Negara, proved that the government took religion very seriously.
"The government has assisted religious institutions through financial start-ups, providing prayer house sites and so on, because such places can also encourage unity and solidarity among the respective communities through their activities," he said at a fund raising dinner for the Wah Kong Temple at Taman Desa Ayer Hitam, Puchong here Monday.
Maglin also presented a RM20,000 contribution from the ministry for the fund.
