Group of 25 Eminent Malays

We, members of G25, at the conclusion of the Forum on Islam in a Constitutional Democracy at Persatuan Alumni Universiti Malaya (PAUM) in Kuala Lumpur on Dec 5 and 6, 2015, agree on the following statement of reaffirmation:

That English is currently the world language is a fact that even the die-hard nationalists in the country cannot argue with. So if we aspire to be more proficient in the language we are only trying to be better citizens of the world.

For a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious nation like Malaysia, peace, harmony, political stability and economic progress with social justice can only be achieved if there is racial harmony, tolerance, understanding and cooperation amongst the various communities.

COMMENT Doctors’ ethical principles are in tandem with those upheld by Islam.
