KUALA LUMPUR: Caretaker Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today called on the public to take proactive measures and be responsible for their health and safety when in public areas, including at mosques.
In a Facebook post, Muhyiddin also called on the public to never stop praying for protection and strength in facing the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
"Let's pray that we will always be protected by Allah SWT from the Covid-19 virus and be given the strength to face the challenges due to this pandemic.
"Hopefully, this situation will gradually improve and the Malaysia that we love will always be peaceful, prosperous and rise to be stronger than before, Insya-Allah (God willing).
"Never stop praying for help from Allah SWT, because that is the nature of us, his servants, who have no power except by the grace of the Almighty.
"If we are always guided by the path of Allah, the Quran, and the Sunnah, I believe our lives will be calmer and more meaningful.
"Do not do what you feel is right. Do what Allah says is right. Do what is right and 'Kepada Allah SWT jualah kita berserah (to Allah, we submit)," he said.
In the same post, Muhyiddin also shared that earlier he had the opportunity to perform Friday prayers at the Saidina Umar Al-Khattab Mosque in Bukit Damansara, together with other congregants under strict adherence to standard operating procedures.
