KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 14 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has always been a beacon of
charity for the lesser fortunate and underprivileged, without distinction of
race, colour or creed, said the prime minister''s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.
"In us, lies the ability to reach out to another, regardless of their
background, in celebrating good times and sharing bad moments.
"The philosophy of 1Malaysia Charity has been founded on the acceptance of
people of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds, irrespective of colour, creed,
religion or race," she said in her speech before launching the opening ceremony
of 1Malaysia Grand Charity Concert at Menara PGRM, Cheras here today.
She said the initiatives undertaken by the government in supporting and
caring for these groups of people also could be demonstrated through this
charity programme.
The concert was initiated by Federation of Lim Association executive advisor
Tan Sri Lim Soon Peng, in collaboration with eight Chinese associations.
Besides Malaysian performers, a team of 150 people from China also performed
at the concert.
Rosmah hoped the concert would serve to further enhance Malaysia-China
relations.
