[KiniNews] Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has described a planned construction of the Madani Mosque at the heart of Masjid India, as a “victory” after a decade of stalled development.
Anwar, however, said the success, which he credited to various federal ministers and others directly involved, was not achieved through a show of arrogance against others.
"Our victory is not one borne out of arrogance. This victory is because we were able to demonstrate the wisdom, strength, and nobility of Islam - not arrogance,” he said in his speech at the groundbreaking ceremony today.
Meanwhile, in a separate story, Zaid Ibrahim has questioned the intense outrage among Malays on social media regarding the temple-mosque issue while lamenting the lack of similar indignation towards corruption cases.
“If we displayed the same level of anger towards corruption and abuse of power - such as the ongoing corruption scandal in Sabah - we would have better leaders who could help the community and nation progress,” the former law minister told Malaysiakini.
