“Malaysians are very friendly….and although they have different cultures and religions, they can still live together in peace and harmony.
“Malaysia is one of the countries that I find to be very unique, and the beauty is the strong unity of its plural society,” he added.
MYC vice-president Datuk Irmohizam Ibrahim, meanwhile, said the visiting delegation was very attracted to Malaysia’s cordial race relations and unity despite the diverse cultures and religions.
