00:00For your information, the Government does not have a clear guidance for the Ministry and the Agency of Work
00:10regarding activities involving religious elements.
00:14However, the Government has taken approach through the implementation of a program
00:19to close the social gap between the Malaysians as well as promote cultural diversity,
00:26cultural heritage, and heritage.
00:29All programs and initiatives are based on three objectives
00:35which are based on the foundation of national unity,
00:38which is to strengthen unity and integration,
00:42to form a national identity,
00:44to create a people that respects and protects unity.
00:48For the year 2025, the Ministry of National Unity has started to raise the concept of national state
00:56and the theme of harmony in society as the main focus.
01:01For the year 2027, it is planned through the implementation of four main objectives,
01:06namely the ecosystem of unity, the Harmony Medani Initiative,
01:10the exploration of national heritage, and the social-cultural community.
01:14For the year 2025, the Harmony Medani Initiative is introduced
01:18to increase the understanding of religious diversity,
01:22cultural heritage, and heritage,
01:24while strengthening the relationship of unity and harmony.
01:29Among the programs that will be implemented under this initiative are
01:33global harmony summit,
01:36global tolerance summit,
01:39Harmony Dialogue,
01:40Harmony Parade,
01:42Harmony Advertising Documentary,

01:51Harmony Board of Directors,

01:53Harmony Board of Directors,
01:54and so on.
01:55Malaysia is a country rich in diversity.
01:59We have a society that includes various religions and religions.
02:04If this society is properly maintained,
02:07it can be a force that shapes the identity of our country.
02:12The concept of understanding, respect, and acceptance is
02:15to give values that must be applied in every community.
02:20To ensure that our country continues to be an example to the world
02:24on how religious and cultural diversity
02:28can be combined to create a truly harmonious country.
03:03As far as I can see, most of these positions are held by public officials.
03:10So, if it's related to this issue,
03:15it's the big bosses.
03:18Whether it's the ministers or the prime ministers,
03:20the big bosses,
03:21the big politicians.
03:22So, do they have the power,
03:26the will, the knowledge, and the courage to say
03:31what should be avoided
03:33so that there is no tension between this community and religion?
03:40This is the first meeting this year.
03:45And they have seen all the sensitive issues
03:49from the beginning of this year to now.
03:53Various issues have been suggested.
03:56Every issue that has been studied
03:58has been suggested how to solve it in a short,
04:02short, medium, and long term.
04:05And there are more than 10 issues here
04:08that have just arisen
04:11that have been discussed and discussed to be resolved.
04:20So, other than that,
04:22I would like to brief the chairperson.
04:24Under the National Council on Religious Affairs,
04:28we have established a work force,
04:33a work force to manage religious issues
04:37under the Council on Religious Affairs.
04:39This is the highest council
04:40that is distributed by the Prime Minister.
04:43And here we have established,
04:46after our consultation last year,
04:50that this work force is distributed by the minister on the floor
04:54with his colleagues,
04:56Minister Johan Jaffa,
04:58and his colleagues,
05:00Dato' Samsul Amri Barudin,
05:02Dato' Dato' Ramzah Bardul,
05:06and from Sabah and Sarawak.
05:09And they are here to see and give advice
05:15through the MPPN consultation
