马来西亚副总理呼吁该国青少年读《论语》
According to the New Strait Times of August 8, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia hosted the opening ceremony of the nation’s Good Values to Prevent Crimes programme, in which Muhyiddin appealed the young people to read Analects of Confucius, China’s classical masterpiece.
The report said that Muhyiddin had always thought highly of confucian thoughts and moral values. When evaluating Analects of Confucius , he said, “ In ancient China, Confucius praised highly moral education and thought it as a core idea. And Confucius’s book written down the values pertaining 1 to politics, history, ethics 2, education and arts, which I believe will serve to reduce crime rate。”
In recent years, the Malaysian economy has developed rapidly, but also led to many social problems. Muhyiddin said, “ the economic development must balance with cultural quality. Thus, the government should vigorously promote the lofty values to reduce the number of young people involved in drugs, illegal racing 3, baby-abandoning, gambling 4 and excessive drinking, whose bad influences will affect the whole society. ”
据新海峡时报8月8日报道， 马来西亚副首相丹斯里慕尤丁近日为全国“崇高价值观预防罪案嘉年华”主持开幕仪式。在开幕致辞中，慕尤丁呼吁青少年多读中国经典著作《论语》。
报道称，慕尤丁一直以来都非常认同孔子的儒家思想及道德价值观。在评价《论语》时，慕尤丁这样说：“在中国古文明时代，孔子推崇道德教育为思想核心，其作品《论语》详尽记载了政治、历史、道德、教育、艺术等方面的价值观。我深信，这些思想将有助降低犯罪率。”
近年来，马来西亚经济发展迅猛，但也衍生出很多社会问题。慕尤丁说，“经济的发展必须与人文素质平衡。因此，政府应该大力推行崇高价值观，以减少青少年涉及毒品、非法飚车、弃婴、赌博、酗酒等犯罪行为，以免这些不良风气影响整个社会。”
