On November 24, Soka Gakkai Malaysia (SGM) and the National
Archives of Malaysia organized a forum where guest speakers
shared their thoughts and insights on Rumi, the celebrated
13th-century Sufi poet, humanist and philosopher. The guest
speakers at the forum were Dr. Chandra Muzaffar, President
of the International Movement for a JUST World, and Dr. John
Fozdar from the Malaysia Interfaith Network and Bahá’í
community. The forum sought to establish a link between
patriotism and universal values, and emphasized the need to
bring together people of diverse ethnic and religious
backgrounds on the basis of shared universal values.
