Disputes concerning religion should not be resolved through the court of law, says Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

"I believe that we should not resort to the legal process, if possible. I believe that if there is a problem, sit down. Discuss.

"Talk it over (such as during) a big makan (meal) like this," Najib said at the launch of Christians for Peace and Harmony in Malaysia (CPHM) at the Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur last night.
