She said the people had entrusted the government government with the task of restoring justice and economic prosperity in Malaysia.

“This peace and stability we enjoy is our collective responsibility. 

“The government will not hesitate to take action against those who threaten the peace and harmony in this country. 

“Fake news, inflammatory messages and messages that stoke religious hatred have no place in Malaysia Baru,” she said at Christmas high-tea at the Luther Centre in Petaling Jaya, today.

She said the government is also committed to instilling greater mutual respect and harmony among the various races in the country. 

“Let us continue to show the world that unity in diversity is a Malaysian trademark.”

Dr Wan Azizah said so far, peace had prevailed even during challenging times.

“We changed the government peacefully, without any bloodshed during the May 9 general election. 

“Peace prevailed because we stood together in the decisive moment to change the government.” – December 25, 2018.

  • Dont talk, YAB DPM... Get tough and start acting on the perpetrators. How can you let the protestors go their way in Klang? It seems the PH government is too soft, trying not to make waves and trying to please everybody

    • DPM mentions "mutual respect" above. 61 years after Merdeka in 1957 it is still possible to hear occasionally nowadays homegrown words pertaining to Chinese, Indians, Malays & foreigners like bangang (stupid), lanciau, pukima. nasamapo, etc to show exasperation?..
