PRIME MINISTER Najib Razak today chaired a meeting of the national level Wasatiyyah policy implementation coordinating committee at Parliament House.

After the meeting Najib launched two books – Fiqh Wala dan Taat: Peranannya Dalam Mensejahterakan Negara’ and Malaysia Bukan Negara Gagal.

Fiqh Wala dan Taat: Peranannya Dalam Mensejahterakan Negara discusses, among other things, one aspect of nationhood that has a positive impact on society, particularly in designing solutions to issues that demand the attention of the public.
