Unity Must Be Preserved With Utmost Care King And Queen

---

 


The Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Raja Permaisuri Agong called for the preservation of harmony and unity in their Aidilfitri message tonight.
Their Majesties said such values are the foundations of nationhood that must be maintained with extreme care and nurtured to be passed on to future generations.
They said every Malaysian, regardless of religious belief or skin colour, has the responsibility to maintain unity based on the five principles of Rukun Negara.
“In fostering sincere togetherness and unity in a prudent and productive manner, strong efforts must also be made to eradicate without compromise any elements that threaten division.
“It must also be understood that maintaining unity is not an effort that has an end date. It is something that must continue forever - educating, nurturing, and instilling our people,” said Their Majesties.
The King and the Queen also said unity should not be just on the surface, but must be deeper, especially when the need arises to address situations where some feelings may be hurt due to ignorance, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Their Majesties also hope that the message will be taken into account by the government and the people because unity is the foundation of the country’s well-being and prosperity.
In conjunction with Aidilfitri, which will be celebrated tomorrow, Their Majesties also hope it will be celebrated in a good manner, marking a day of victory for Muslims after controlling their desires, purifying their souls, and pursuing all the rewards throughout the glorious month of Ramadan.
“Alhamdulillah, once again we are blessed to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri, after a month of fasting.
“My wife and I pray that all our people and our entire country will be protected from calamities, God willing. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin.”
Importance of upholding human dignity
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim called on Muslims to continue fostering strong relationships with people of different races and religions in Malaysia.
He stressed that without mutual respect, compassion, and kindness, the nation cannot achieve the peace and stability aspired for.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim“As we observe Ramadan and prepare for Aidilfitri, let us reaffirm the importance of upholding human dignity, ‘karamah insaniah’ as noble and free beings.
“May this Aidilfitri be celebrated with this awareness, elevating us as individuals of integrity, strong moral character, and a deep sense of responsibility,” he said.
Anwar said this in his 2025 Special Aidilfitri Address, which was broadcast live on TV tonight.
The prime minister also shared his experiences participating in the Ihya’ Ramadan programme, which took him to various ministries and states, including Selising (Kelantan), Tawau (Sabah), Chukai (Terengganu), and several other locations.
“The highlight of these visits was witnessing firsthand the realities at the grassroots level, listening to the people’s concerns and suggestions, and assessing the effectiveness of policies implemented by the federal, state and local governments.
“We continue to drive economic growth, but I stress that our true strength lies in our success in improving the lives of most people,” he said.
The prime minister also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to observe Ramadan with fellow Muslims, hoping that the experience instills new values, reinforces discipline and integrity and contributes to better health for the entire Muslim community.
“Alhamdulillah, we have journeyed through the blessed month of Ramadan, embracing its spiritual training as a means to seek Allah’s approval,” he said.
Anwar further urged Malaysians to remain compassionate towards those in need, particularly neighbours, local communities and those affected by crises, including the oppression and humanitarian disaster in Gaza, Palestine.
Muslims in Malaysia will celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri tomorrow, said Keeper of the Ruler’s Seal Syed Danial Syed Ahmad in an announcement tonight.
