Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin urged Malaysians to widen their appreciation of a thinking culture and make it a way of life as a progressive society.

He also reminded the people to discard the lethargy syndrome, laziness and negative thinking.

“If we are lethargic and mentally weak, in the end we will become a soulless society.

“We must generate a society that has a rich a thinking culture with propensity to engage in research, analysis, publish works of high quality, loves knowledge and scholarly works and hold scholars in high esteem,” he said at a Yayasan Nurul Yaqeen dinner here Wednesday night. Muhyiddin is the chairman of the foundation.

Also present was his wife Puan Seri Noorainee Abd Rahman.

At the same time, Muhyiddin also stressed on the need for society to build the younger generation to uphold values that were sacred including being of noble character and able to withstand challenges that may come in the way.

“It is important we a build a younger generation of quality, one that does not succumb easily to social ills,” he said, adding that religion played an important part in this so that youths do not become hooked on materialism.

With the right values, he said, younger Malaysians would not go the way of the West which placed more importance on secularistic principles that had only caused a breakdown in their socities.
