KUALA LUMPUR, May 12 — His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, and Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia, have extended Wesak greetings to all Buddhists in the country.
Their Majesties emphasised that strong interracial ties are not only the foundation of the nation’s strength, but also a catalyst for unity.
“In our multiracial society, harmony is achieved when we show mutual respect and understanding toward one another.
“Together, let us build a more peaceful, united, prosperous future. Happy Wesak to all Buddhists in the country,” Their Majesties said in a post on Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar’s Facebook page.
Wesak, observed today, commemorates three significant events in Gautama Buddha’s life — his birth, enlightenment, and death.
