“Hopefully, this powerful determination can be translated into a catalyst for economic growth and productivity, generating political stability and strengthening racial harmony.


“In this regard, let’s unite our resolve to continue to work hard to advance the nation and continue to foster unity for the sake of harmony and development of our beloved country,” he said.
