KUALA LUMPUR, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Tuesday called on all the Malaysians to reaffirm their "commitment to the peaceful coexistence" and keep pursuing unity in his New Year's message.

Reflecting on the events of 2013, Najib said on the one hand, the general election demonstrated the deep basis of democracy in Malaysia; on the other, it also exposed the existence of divisions.

"I believe Malaysia is strong enough to survive heated debate," he said, adding that the divisions will heal with time.

Najib called on Malaysians to be "active in the pursuit of unity," as the country's stability and progress "depend on it."

Najib also stressed the importance of economic reforms, in particular the need to reduce the country's debts and strengthen the economy.

In the end, he called on the people to consolidate "Malaysia's continued success," and build a stronger and more unified country.
