Najib: Islam Hadhari has changed Muslims’ mindset
BY DALILAH IBRAHIMKUALA LUMPUR: The Government's effort to promote Islam Hadhari is showing progress in changing the mindset of Muslims, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
The Deputy Prime Minister said that since its introduction in 2002, the progressive Islamic action plan had been widely accepted by Muslims.
This could be seen not only in more Muslims attending government-held seminars but also their better understanding of the concept, he said after launching a Islam Hadhari seminar at Masjid Wilayah in Jalan Duta here yesterday.
Najib said the change in mindset could be seen in the way Muslims were able to improve work quality, be more ethical and disciplined and reject bad practices such as corruption.
“The concept has strengthened Muslims.”
Earlier in his speech, Najib said that for the concept to work, Muslims must work diligently and creatively, as well as uphold political stability, economic strength, educational excellence and other noble values.
He said the concept was an effort by the Government to enhance the image of the people in the eyes of the world by strengthening their discipline and skills in science, technology and the economy.
Najib also said Malaysians should strive to be known as inventors and not just users of inventions.
He said Malaysia could be a model of a developed, peaceful and outstanding country that portrays the true face of a Muslim society.
To a question on terror threat in the region, Najib said Malaysia was on the alert for any possibility.
