Hundred per cent agreement is impossible

Hundred per cent agreement is impossible - Tun M

KUALA LUMPUR -- Muslims in the country are reminded to be united in reaching a consensus to avoid disputes and hostility.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said merely because of slight differences, Muslims practising the same religion and Islamic belief should not go to the extent of hating each other.

“A consensus happens when something gets 100 per cent agreement from all parties, but that is something impossible.

“Hence the other way is to take a majority decision and what is decided by the majority must be accepted with an open heart by the minority without any hue and cry,” he said in his speech at the 57th National Malaysian Islamic Welfare Assiociation (PERKIM) general annual meeting at Jalan Pahang.

In that way, the Muslim community could move simultaneously as one with mutual respect and love such as enshrined in the Quran, he said, Bernama reported.

He said said it could enable organisations and countries led by Muslims to run smoothly and the government would bring good and prosperity to the people.

Meanwhile, Dr Mahathir, who is also PERKIM president, also hoped the organisation would continue to carry out its responsibility to explain the true teachings of Islam to the people, including non Muslims.

He said the noble effort, if maintained, was likely to restore the excellence of the Islamic civilisation as before.

The PERKIM annual general meeting was attended by 250 people, including PERKIM National Council members, delegates and observers nationwide.

Also present were PERKIM secretary-general Tan Sri Mohd Yusof Noor, PERKIM honorary treasurer Tan Sri Dr Muhammad Rais Abdul Karim and PERKIM vice president Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim.

Sales and Marketing Vice-President Abdul Rashid Musa said the letter X is synonymous with crossover or SUV vehicles, while the number 70 denoted the size or class of the SUV and would enable Proton to adopt a logical system to add bigger or smaller models in the future. “This is the first time an alphanumerical naming system is used on a Proton model as our research shows it will make it easier to sell in ASEAN and other international markets, as there are no language barriers to overcome,” he told reporters at the preview of the new SUV. Proton Chief Executive Officer Dr Li Chunrong said Proton's adoption of the new naming system would make customer more focus on the brand name as compared with the model name.
