“I will like to appeal to our Muslim brothers and sisters to see beyond all artificial divisions including minor ethnic and religious differences in society and abide strictly with the teachings of the holy Koran as propagated by the Holy Prophet Muhammad.

“Peace is very essential to the development of any nation. We should all, therefore, continue to pray and work for the peace and unity of the nation. Let us display the spirit of oneness and stay strong together regardless of the diverse difficulties and challenges, so that we can achieve our goals.
