Hari Raya Aidilfitri Message by Lim Kit Siang in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, 29^th August 2011: 

Call on Muslim and non-Muslim Malaysians to dedicate themselves to promote the values of justice, freedom, love and compassion on triple occasion of Hari Raya Adilfitri, 54^th National Day and 48^th Malaysia Day

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin to all Muslims in Malaysia.

The coinciding of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, the 54^th National Day and the 48^th Malaysia Day should be a special triple occasion of joy and celebrations for all Malaysians.

It must be a matter of concern to all Malaysians, however, that this is not the case with the recent irresponsible and incessant ramping-up and incitement of race and religious hatred and tensions through baseless and incendiary allegations by certain media.

A call must urgently go out to all Muslim and non-Muslim Malaysians to dedicate themselves to promote the values of justice, freedom, love and compassion on the triple occasion of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, 54^th National Day and 48^th Malaysia Day - values which are common to all the great religions which have found a home in the country.

Whether we are Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans, Ibans or Orang Asli, whether Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Taoists or Sikhs, let us unite as one Malaysian people first and last to give real meaning to the triple occasion of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, the 54^th National Day and 48^th Malaysia Day.
