Ramanan said it was a great honour for his family that Anwar chose their residence as the first stop of his Deepavali visit this year, describing the Prime Minister’s presence as a meaningful gesture that made the Festival of Lights even more special.
He said the gathering reflected the beauty of Malaysia’s multicultural society, with leaders from different backgrounds coming together as one family to celebrate Deepavali.
He was particularly touched that Anwar had taken time out of his demanding schedule to share the festive joy with his family.
The Prime Minister was accompanied by Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook and Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek.
Also present were Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan, Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh and Selangor State Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Mohd Kamri Kamaruddin.
Ramanan said the spirit of Otrumai MADANI demonstrated that Malaysia’s diversity was not a source of division but a strength that united its people.
He added that the presence of leaders from various backgrounds at the celebration reflected the importance of mutual respect, togetherness and harmony in preserving the country’s national identity.
Ramanan also thanked all guests who attended, saying their warmth and camaraderie had created cherished memories for his family.
He expressed hope that the light of Deepavali would continue to bring happiness, prosperity and harmony to all Malaysians.
