Shun extreme deviant ideology, says King

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians have been urged not to be easily misled by deviant ideologies that were “too extreme” leading to the rise of terrorist groups.

The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah, said today that the conflicts in various parts of the world and terrorist attacks in countries such as Belgium, Turkey and France, and lately, Indonesia, had caused destruction to property and claimed the lives of innocent people.

“This is the doing of terrorist groups as a result of the emergence of ideologies that are too extreme which deviate from the true teachings of Islam,” he said at an investiture of those awarded federal royal honours in conjunction with his birthday celebration, at Istana Negara here today.

Tuanku Abdul Halim said the investiture today would be his last in his second term as Yang di-Pertuan Agong, which ends this year. He first served as fifth Yang di-Pertuan Agong (1970-1975) and is the first ruler to serve a second term.

He was pleased to have seen Malaysia succeeding in overcoming global economic challenges and noted the report on the National Transformation Policy had shown a 99 percent achievement rate.

He was confident that Malaysia was on the right track to be a high-income developed country within the time planned

The Yang di-Pertuan Agong said Malaysians should utilise their diversity to mix, know and understand each other.

Tuanku Abdul Halim said Malaysians had proven that their diversity in race, religion and culture was not a hindrance or a problem, but a uniqueness that had built their strength. “This is in line with my desire to see not only unity is preserved, but for it to become stronger to overcome all odds,” he added.

At today’s investiture 39 of the 1,546 people awarded federal honours, were conferred their awards.

Among those on the list was the late Noriah Kasnon, deputy minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, who was posthumously awarded the darjah Panglima Setia Mahkota, which carries the title “Tan Sri”. The award was received by her daughter, Anis Athirah Mohd Ishak.
