100 ethnic, religious groups heed call to improve interfaith friendship, peace and harmony

Lee said the ‘CPHM and Friends Christmas Dinner’ was meant to send a positive message and counter the perception of increasing religious intolerance and extremism.Interfaith relations in Malaysia are set to improve, thanks to an NGO and attendees of a recent Christmas dinner who acted on a call by the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, who urged political leaders to stop using racial or religious issues to incite Malaysians against one another.

Taking the cue from His Royal Highness, about 300 Malaysians representing some 100 ethnic and religious groups came together at the dinner organised by the Christians for Peace and Harmony in Malaysia movement to promote friendship, peace and harmony among all races and religious groups. Lee expressed hope the gathering would symbolise and reflect the uniqueness of Malaysia as a nation of different communities, which embrace different religions and cultures while living peacefully and harmoniously together.

“Then, something happened and it mostly stopped. Everyone kept to themselves due to religious extremism and whatever other reasons.
