KUALA LUMPUR — The 2022 New Year celebrations in Malaysia have been cancelled and will be replaced with special prayers as a sign of respect and sympathy for flood victims in several states.
Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob in a Facebook posting on Thursday said he had instructed for a prayers session to be organised at the Putra Mosque in the federal administrative capital, Putrajaya on Friday.
The posting was also attached with a poster of the event starting at 7 pm Friday.
In this regard, the Prime Minister called on mosques all over the country especially state mosques to organise similar functions for prayers.
Meanwhile, non-Muslim members of the Malaysian Family could also hold prayers according to their respective religions, he said.
He hoped all efforts would be made to receive blessings for Malaysia next year.
