Datuk Seri Najib Tun RazakKUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 (Bernama) -- Malaysians will continue to enjoy harmony and prosperity if they remain united, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
He said the concept of unity in diversity in Malaysia which had been inculcated among the people all along could not be found elsewhere in the world, hence making Malaysia a very special country.
"If we stay united, there's no reason why all Malaysians cannot enjoy harmony and prosperity in our own beloved country," he said in his latest posting titled 'Malaysian Deepavali Open House 2014' on his najibrazak.com blog Sunday.
He said at the the open house held in Melaka yesterday, he also promised that the government would continue ensuring that the Indian community would advance together with other races in Malaysia.
In connection with this, Najib said the government had set up a Cabinet committee on Indian community affairs, which he personally chaired.
"In fact, in the 2015 Budget, I have announced several special initiatives for the Indian community, including National Entrepreneur Group Economic Fund (TEKUN) loans amounting to RM50 million, Indian community entrepreneur development schemes and microcredit loans amounting to RM30 million through Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia," he said.
Besides, he said the government had also introduced an entrepreneur scheme, for Indian women, an allocation of RM30 million for Indian youth skills training and another RM50 million for the repair and maintenance of Tamil-type national schools.
"All those initiatives were taken to inculcate and strengthen the spirit of 'nambikei' (trust) towards making Malaysia a fully developed nation by 2020, he added.
