Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the multaqa program is a platform to discuss the issues and future direction of Muslims.

He said in order to identify and understand the problems faced by Muslims, there need to be in-depth discussions to chart out the direction and solutions to resolve the issues.

He said this at the closing of the Multaqa Ulama Asia Tenggara 2019 in Sepang on Tuesday.
