KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 –Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is the 2015 ASEAN chairman delivered a hard-hitting speech against extremism and terrorism, stressing that new solutions had to be found to address the problem at the opening the 27th ASEAN Summit at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) here today.
Speaking in front of leaders from across Southeast Asia, the Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said military might alone would not be enough to defeat those who were bent on causing war, mayhem and death as well as desolation and despair.
“It is the ideology propagated by these extremists that is the cause of this sadistic violence, and in this time of tragedy we must not lose sight of the fact that the ideology itself must be exposed as the lie that it is and vanquished. For it is not Islamic. It cannot be,” said Najib in his speech, adding with his speech by referencing the many innocent lives lost due to terror acts in places like Paris, Beirut, Sinai, southern Philippines and Mali.
