TANGKAK: Fifty years of deep-rooted multiracial understanding, political stability and the power-sharing concept adopted by the Barisan Nasional Government has made Malaysia a peaceful nation.
Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said no other country, with people of different races, religions, cultures and languages, could boast what Malaysia had achieved.
He said the people should remain united to ensure the country continued to achieve another 50 years of peace and prosperity.
“We hope we will continue to enjoy this peaceful and harmonious living and political stability forever,” he told thousands of people after attending a Chinese New Year dinner hosted by Bukit Gambir residents on the first day of Chinese New Year.
Abdul Ghani, who was accompanied by his wife Datin Paduka Prof. Jamilah Arifin, Ledang MP Hamim Samuri, Gambir assemblyman M. Asojan and Tangkak assemblyman Datuk Yap Chik Dong, said Malaysia was a unique country.
He said Bukit Gambir for example, was opened by pioneering people, many who came from China about 100 years ago, and their love of the land had made the area a prosperous town today.
He said such commitment and love towards the land would continue to boost growth in the area as the world would continue to need rubber, palm oil and other agro-based products.
