PUTRAJAYA, Aug 26 — National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang announced plans to designate sites in Precinct 20, Putrajaya, for non-Muslim places of worship since 2013. This initiative aims to foster an inclusive and harmonious community, aligning with the objectives of Policy 17 and the Harmoni Madani initiative introduced in 2024.
By providing spaces for various religious practices, the government seeks to promote mutual understanding and respect among Malaysia's diverse religious communities. Members of the Prince of Peace Church, a new church in Precinct 20, met with Aaron and Hannah Yeoh, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), to discuss the potential of the area as an interfaith hub.
Other religious sites in the vicinity include the Dhammaduta Malaysia Buddhist Centre, Gurdwara Sahib Putrajaya, Dewi Sri Lalithaambigai Alayam, and San Qing Taoist Temple, with a Roman Catholic church also in the planning stages.
