“I hope this will be a good start to unite all Muslims and the people of Malaysia. We have to stop talking about hot issues and the leaders should find solutions. Everything has a solution, it’s just whether we want to do it or not,” he wrote. In his opinion piece published in Sinar Harian today, Hussamuddin said interracial and interreligious ties in Malaysia have been simmering for the past 20 years.
“Our leaders have to stop this. Don’t let the Jawi and Dr Zakir Naik issues be prolonged. These are all small matters. I urge all leaders, public and the media to not exaggerate such issues. Hussamuddin stressed that even he would not accept any education policy where all subjects are made compulsory to be taught in jawi script.
He said the preacher was only one person and played down concerns that he is to be feared, despite his widespread influence.
