Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said this was proven with the launching of another programme, "Wakaf Al-Quran", Wednesday which would assist Muslim minorities throughout the world to obtain a copy of the Al-Quran and its interpretation in their respective languages.
He said that under the programme organised by the Defence Ministry in collaboration with with Yayasan Restu, the people in this country had the opportunity to contribute funds through the short messaging service (SMS) and the money collected would be used for this purpose.
"I believe that after the launching of the Yayasan Restu, every strata of the Malaysian society will be able to translate their commitment by contributing together to the fund to promote religious activities during the month of Ramadan," he said when launching the programme at Masjid Putra, here.
The text of his speech was read by Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Najib said among the countries identified to receive the Al-Quran were Cambodia, Russia and China.
However, he said the Al-Quran would also be distributed within the country as there were still Muslims in this country who had yet to own the holy book.
"I hope the Defence Ministry can distribute them to the surau, mosques, mahad tahfiz, public religious schools and individuals who don't have the Al-Quran," he said.
