Let’s remind ourselves to not rest on our laurels but constantly strive to improve, stay ahead of the competition and capitalise on the opportunities available and establish a steady momentum of growth and progress. As a Group, we will continuously improve to counter the effects of competition and align ourselves with the market demands. So do not take these changes as a threat but keep an open mind and move along with the changes, so that we remain relevant to the industries in which we operate.
The same goes for all our other core businesses – we must be cognizant of the developments, new policies and growth of these industries. The future is bright only if we do our part and play the game right. It is not going to be an easy task, so let’s brace ourselves and do our utmost to ensure that DRB-HICOM remains a leading conglomerate in Malaysia and regionally. Remember the Group’s vision “to be number 1 and continuously excel in all that we do”.
Of late, we have witnessed and heard about various issues that are threatening the harmony of our peaceful country. I would like to remind you to refrain from this immature show of emotions. Everything can be resolved peacefully. Do not support or participate in any activities that incite hatred within our multiracial community. Remember, Allah Subhanahu WaTa’ala is watching your every action. The Holy Quran 17: 53, 54 says, “And tell my servants that they should speak in a most kindly manner (unto those who do not share their beliefs). Verily, Satan is always ready to stir up discord between men; for verily; Satan is man’s foe….Hence, We have not sent you (Unto men O Prophet) with power to determine their faith.” Therefore, be careful with what you say or do and remember that Allah has meant for us to live in harmony and peace.
