PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim encourages religious leaders to take a more active, effective and courageous stance in promoting justice.

This, he said, as the people are sick and tired of the bickering among political leaders.

"Devoid of moral precepts, conscience, and the meaning of justice, they can talk at the top of their voice about democracy and human rights.

"We don't know what to believe anymore. So, let the religious leaders take your place," he said during the inaugural address at the International Conference of Religious Leaders here today.

Also in attendance were his deputies, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar, cabinet ministers and foreign ambassadors.

The conference, being held from today until tomorrow, aims to develop a shared civilisation vision to unify the values of moderation and unity, tackle the threats of extremist ideologies and transform conflicts into understanding, cooperation and unity.
