As such, Malaysians should foster and strengthen national unity, he said.
He also said that if there was any issue or problem, everyone should stay calm and patient so that rational and mature action could be taken.
“Do not be overcome by emotions that will lead us to overreact or do something that we may regret.
“If the unity that we have built is destroyed, we may not be able to build it again,” Abdullah said in his Hari Raya message aired on TV at 9pm yesterday.
He said the intention of being open was good but perhaps Malaysians were not ready to accept such openness.
He expressed confidence that all issues and problems on ethnicity and religion could be resolved rationally, “if we sit down together, hold dialogues and discuss, as well as understand and analyse the issues and problems”, adding that the country belonged to all Malaysians and no one had been given a higher status than another.
Abdullah also said the Government realised that the people were not happy with the current political scenario.
“I want to stress that the Government is committed towards the responsibility and the mandate which had been given by the people,” he said.
Abdullah’s wife, Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah, asked Malaysians to lend a helping hand to the less fortunate during this festive occasion.
Abdullah also asked for forgiveness including on behalf of Jeanne and the family for any wrong they might have done.
