PUTRAJAYA, Jan 21 (Bernama) -- The Yang di-Pertuan Agong
Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah will open the national level celebration of
Prophet Muhammed's birthday at the Putra Mosque here on Thursday.
Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM) director

Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and
wife Puan Sri Noorainee Abdul Rahman, cabinet ministers and foreign
representatives were also expected to attend.
"The theme for this year's celebration is 'Moderation
Is The Pillar Of Muslim Unity'. The selection of this theme befits the
government's effort to emulate the moderate and balanced approach pioneered by
Prophet Muhammad SAW. "Moderation is the pillar of unity.
