      \n
    1. Swami Vivekananda<\/strong>: Anwar Ibrahim began his address by quoting Swami Vivekananda on the \u2018march of ideas\u2019 from India, accompanied by blessings and peace. He noted Vivekananda\u2019s role as Ramakrishna\u2019s chief disciple, a rare recognition from a foreign leader.<\/li>\n
    2. Mahatma Gandhi<\/strong>: He recalled Gandhi\u2019s quote, \u201cHate the sin and not the sinner,\u201d emphasizing its relevance in today\u2019s world. Anwar linked this quote to the widespread issue of hatred in society.<\/li>\n
