Najib: Harmonious means to respect each other’s feelings

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today said the basic principle for being harmonious was for Muslims and non-Muslims to respect and not hurt each other’s feelings.

Speaking after a video conference call with Malaysians in five countries, Najib said Muslims must not hurt the feelings of non-Muslims and vice versa.

“If there is another way of doing it, it is better not to hurt the feelings. If you go on the premise of who is right and who is wrong, we will never agree. But if you go on the premise that we should not hurt feelings, then we will be a peaceful country forever,” he said.

Najib was commenting on the interfaith committee which was set up in 2010 to harmonise the different faiths in the country.
