Anwar urges Malaysians to foster peace, harmony during Deepavali

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today urged Malaysians to use the Deepavali celebration on Sunday as an opportunity to keep fostering goodwill, mutual respect, and harmony within a multicultural and multi-faith society.

“This is the beauty of Malaysia that we must continue to preserve. Happy Deepavali to everyone celebrating!” he said.
