Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim highlighted the historic election of Abdul El-Sayed as the first Muslim to the US Senate as a significant lesson in rejecting racial prejudice and religious discrimination.
Citing El-Sayed's victory in Michigan, Anwar emphasized the growing political acceptance of diversity, which reflects democracy's role in providing equal opportunities across backgrounds.
He noted the importance of opposing racism, as minority communities, including Muslims, are often adversely affected when racial sentiments prevail.
Anwar concluded by affirming the unique identity of Malaysia as a prosperous, multiracial nation, distinct from the US political model.
MELAKA, Nov 5 — The historic election of the first Muslim to the United States Senate should serve as a lesson for all on the importance of rejecting racial prejudice and religious discrimination, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
He cited Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan as an example of how political participation could transcend racial and religious differences.
Anwar said the development reflected growing political acceptance of diversity and demonstrated that democracy should provide opportunities for people of all backgrounds, rather than be driven by racial sentiment.
“They understand democracy and reject racism. Those who defeated President Donald Trump’s Republican Party in the United States are people who oppose racism.
“They campaigned against racism and religious oppression, bringing a new message. When racism gains ground, Muslims and other minorities are the ones who suffer,” he said at the Melaka Madani Aspirations Tour programme for Klebang constituency at Taman Bukit Rambai here today.
El-Sayed, a Democrat, won Michigan’s Senate seat in the US midterm elections, becoming the first Muslim elected to the Senate.
Anwar said the victory demonstrated how rejecting racial prejudice could become a powerful message for political change.
However, he stressed that Malaysia need not emulate the US political model, as the country had its own identity as a prosperous, multiracial nation. — Bernama

首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣强调，阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德当选为美国参议院首位穆斯林议员，具有历史意义，是拒绝种族偏见和宗教歧视的重要教训。
安瓦尔以埃尔-赛义德在密歇根州的胜利为例，强调了政治界对多样性的日益接受，这反映了民主在为不同背景的人提供平等机会方面所发挥的作用。
他指出反对种族主义的重要性，因为当种族情绪盛行时，包括穆斯林在内的少数族裔群体往往会受到不利影响。
安华最后肯定了马来西亚作为一个繁荣的多种族国家的独特身份，这与美国的政治模式截然不同。
马六甲，11月5日讯——马来西亚总理拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣表示，首位穆斯林当选美国参议员这一历史性事件，应该给所有人敲响警钟，让他们认识到拒绝种族偏见和宗教歧视的重要性。
他以民主党人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德在密歇根州的胜利为例，说明政治参与如何能够超越种族和宗教差异。
安华表示，这一发展反映出政治界对多样性的接受度不断提高，并表明民主应该为所有背景的人提供机会，而不是受种族情绪驱动。
“他们理解民主，反对种族主义。在美国击败唐纳德·特朗普总统领导的共和党的人，都是反对种族主义的人。”
“他们开展反对种族主义和宗教压迫的运动，传递了新的信息。当种族主义抬头时，受苦的总是穆斯林和其他少数族裔，”他今天在马六甲武吉兰拜花园举行的克勒邦选区马六甲马达尼愿景之旅活动上说道。
民主党人埃尔-赛义德在美国中期选举中赢得了密歇根州的参议院席位，成为第一位当选参议员的穆斯林。
安华表示，这场胜利表明，拒绝种族偏见可以成为推动政治变革的有力信号。
然而，他强调马来西亚无需效仿美国的政治模式，因为马来西亚作为一个繁荣的多种族国家，拥有自身独特的身份。——马新社
