Don't Make Changes Through Violence, Says Muhyiddin

MUAR, Feb 15 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has reminded the public not to follow the community of some Muslim countries in the Middle East which opt to create changes through violence.

They should instead, be grateful for the country's prosperity, which is capable of turning Malaysia into a developed Muslim country in various fields and a good example for other Muslim nations.

"Muslims in Malaysia should be thankful for life in a country that is peaceful, prosperous and developed for other Muslim countries to emulate," he said when launching the Pagoh Umno division Maulidur Rasul celebrations at Masjid Jamek Kampung Jorak, Bukit Pasir here Thursday night.

He said the country had also fostered a brotherhood, not only among Muslims but also between the Muslim and non-Muslim community, setting a good model for Muslim countries.

"We respect one another and have successfully created a country that is united, regardless of race," added Muhyiddin, who is also education minister.

He said unity and harmony would be useful in developing Muslims in the field of economy, character, education and culture.

"We want Malaysia to become a country that is developed in various fields, not only in our relationship with one another, but also mental development, education, economy and more," he said.
