Message by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department July 25, 2007
Posted by Han in : Current Affair, Prayer , trackbackThis message is taken from 2006 40-day fast and prayer booklet (Pg.6) by Y.B. Datuk Maximus Johnity Ongkili.
We are grateful for being able to celebrate the diversity in this country as one people, that is Bangsa Malaysia. The harmonious coexistence that we have enjoyed for 50 years is a sweet success and should be maintained as such. Even though the majority are Malays, the other ethnic groups like Chinese, Indians and the Indigenous people of the Peninsular, Sabah and Sarawak are able to live in accord with one another. I believe that the Christians, in particular, have played the role as catalysts in the process. This is possible because we firmly believe in the Gospel, of which the essence is peace. It is the peace that overcomes cultural, tribal and racial barriers.
We, who have known the Lord, do not merely talk about the peace; our role is to live out the implications of that peace among the Christian communities to those who have not known the Gospel. Let us pray that our light will shine through our good witness, and eventually become blessings to the people and to the nation.
