KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 — Minister of Economic Affairs Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said Malaysia’s new beginning emphasises the importance of service and justice to all, good governance and placing the people above all else.
“Wesak Day spirit and enlightenment coincides with the birth of a new Malaysia, a feat made possible through striving for justice to be upheld”, he said in his Wesak Day message to the media today.
Azmin who is also Selangor Mentri Besar added that he decided to take on responsibilities at the federal level to save the country.
“It will be tough, but together, I am confident we can provide a new direction for our country,” he said in a statement today.
“The celebration of Wesak in 2018 is historic as it comes on the back of an unprecedented demand by Malaysians for change,” said Azmin.
Wesak Day is celebrated to honour the birth of Gautama Buddha.
In Malaysia, Wesak is a treasured symbol of our multi-cultural and multi-religious society, as Buddhists commemorate this occasion with peaceful celebrations and charitable deeds for the less fortunate.
