One community member shared, “I have been here for the past ten years. I have never had the chance to meet PM Modi in India, but I feel fortunate to meet him here in Malaysia, outside our country. I hope to take a photo with him and receive his blessings. He inspires people worldwide. As an NRI, when we say we are from India, people respond, ‘You are from Modi’s country.’ We are truly excited to meet him.”
Another member of the Indian community remarked, “I have been working in Malaysia for the past seven years. Meeting PM Modi in person is an exciting opportunity for us. Many Indians live and work here, and this is a chance for all of us to meet him. We are here because he is strengthening ties with many countries worldwide. We are very excited. I believe around 10,000 to 12,000 people have gathered today. It’s a wonderful opportunity to see our Prime Minister and hopefully meet him.”
