Ucapan Hari Raya Aidiladha Dato’ Sri Mustapa bin MohamedMenteri Perdagangan dan Industri, Malaysia

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Alhamdulillah, dipanjatkan kesyukuran kehadrat Allah SWT kerana dengan limpah kurnia dan izinNya, kita sekali lagi diberikan kesempatan untuk menyambut Hari Raya Aidiladha 1437 Hijrah pada 10 Zulhijjah 1437H bersamaan 12 September 2016.

Hari Raya Aidiladha atau juga lebih dikenali sebagai Hari Raya Korban di kalangan masyarakat Malaysia membawa mesej ‘pengorbanan’ dan ‘kesabaran’ kepada umat Islam khususnya dan rakyat Malaysia amnya. Kita sewajarnya menghayati kisah pengorbanan Nabi Ibrahim A.S dan ketaatan anakanda beliau

baginda Nabi Ismail A.S tatkala kita meneruskan lafaz tahmid dan takbir sebagai tanda pengabdian diri kepada Allah S.W.T.

Bersempena dengan sambutan Bulan Kebangsaan ini, kita sewajarnya menginsafi dan mensyukuri nikmat kemerdekaan yang diwariskan oleh generasi yang terdahulu. Sememangnya, pengorbanan dalam erti kata hari ini merangkumi satu konsep yang lebih mendalam. Kita harus sentiasa mengorbankan masa dan tenaga dalam usaha untuk terus mengembangkan ekonomi negara ini dan sekaligus mewariskan Malaysia yang makmur dan sejahtera buat generasi akan datang.

Kerajaan Malaysia sememangnya berusaha menambahbaik mutu kerja kita. Strategi Lautan Biru Kebangsaan (NBOS) diperkenalkan bagi mengetengahkan pendekatan yang lebih kreatif dan inovatif, memaksimumkan sumber sedia ada dan memastikan dasar kerajaan dalam dilaksanakan secara efisyen dan cepat. Namun usaha ini tidak harus terhenti sekadar di sini.

Sebelum mengakhiri ucapan, saya dan warga MITI mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha kepada rakyat Malaysia. Selamat pulang ke kampung halaman bagi yang berkesempatan dan pandulah dengan berhati–hati serta pastikan kenderaan anda dalam keadaan yang sempurna. Semoga Aidiladha tahun ini lebih baik dan bermakna daripada tahun yang sebelumnya. Insha Allah.

Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri Malaysia
