COLOMBO : In the gentle glow of the new moon that heralds Eid Al-Fitr, I, on behalf of the Malaysian High Commission in Sri Lanka, the staff of the High Commission and my family, wish to extend our most heartfelt wishes to the people of Sri Lanka. This revered day marks not just the conclusion of Ramadan but also symbolizes hope, resilience, and the profound capacity for compassion within us all.
As we gather to celebrate this auspicious occasion, let us reflect on the principles of the MADANI vision—a testament to Malaysia’s commitment to inclusivity, integrity, and sustainable prosperity that resonates deeply with the spirit of Eid Al-Fitr. In this time of reflection and joy, our thoughts turn to the broader sense of community and cooperation that guides our diplomatic and cultural exchanges.
Though Sri Lanka is not a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the spirit of regional solidarity and mutual respect encapsulated by ASEAN remains a guiding light for our interactions. Malaysia and Sri Lanka, connected by strong ties of friendship and shared values, can draw inspiration from this spirit to foster greater understanding and collaboration.
This Eid, let the ethos of MADANI—a beacon of justice, equality, and shared prosperity—illuminate our way forward. May our celebrations transcend mere festivities to become a symbol of our shared aspirations for peace, understanding, and cooperation across borders.
As we break the fast and share in the joyous gatherings, may this Eid Al-Fitr be a source of immense joy, peace, and prosperity for all of us and our loved ones. Let us carry the spirit of generosity and unity in our hearts throughout the year, building bridges of friendship that span continents and cultures.
Eid Mubarak and Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin
