[HWPL] Influential Academic in Bangladesh Awards Appreciation Plaque to HWPL: “Thanks for arrangement of the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Summit”

Principal of Shamsul Hoque Khan School & College in Dhaka (Bangladesh) Dr. Mahbubur Rahman Mollah, who attended the WARP Summit on September 17, 2014, was so moved by the spectacle with 200,000 participants in attendance that he awarded Chairman Lee a plaque of appreciation on September 19, 2014

On September 18, 2014, the WARP Summit was held at Jamsil Olympic Stadium in Seoul. The enthusiasm and emotion of the spectacle - hosted by a civil organization with 200,000 participants in attendance and is an event unlike any other - left a marked impression on the Principal of Shamsul Hoque Khan School & College in Dhaka (Bangladesh) Dr. Mahbubur Rahman Mollah. The WARP Summit would become the driving force behind the peace movement of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL, Chairman Man-Hee Lee).

The WARP Summit, held on September 18, 2014, in and around Jamsil Olympic Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, left a marked impression on the more than 200,000 participants of the global village. Attendees, who long for a world of peace without war, applauded the leadership of Chairman Man-hee Lee who, in the capacity as Chairman of a civil organization, has devoted his life to the work of peace through world peace tours since the age of eighty. Dr. Mollah, Principal of Shamsul Hoque Khan School & College in Dhaka (Bangladesh), was awestruck by the WARP Summit he experienced, and he presented a plaque of appreciation to the Chairman. The conclusion of the opening WARP Summit ceremony on September 17, 2014, involved overseas dignitaries descending on the stadium to share in the excitement of the Festival parade. Seated members of HWPL brightened their cellphones for a starlight performance.

Dr. Mollah was informed by representatives of HWPL Bangladesh that HWPL had completed 14 peace tours from 2012 to 2014, and had met influential dignitaries from many countries who formed a consensus about peace. He was amazed to hear that the Summit would involve the participation of 200,000 people, including individuals he had met across all the peace tours. He was surprised to learn that Chairman Man-hee Lee, who was over 80 years old, was personally conducting overseas peace tours, where he held meetings with people across different countries and delivered lectures at forums and seminars.

Following the WARP Summit, Dr. Mollah expressed his gratitude to HWPL, producing a plaque of appreciation with the words, “I would like to express my gratitude to the HWPL WARP Summit, which was held with the invitation of world leaders, religious people, and more.” On September 19, 2014, the day after the WARP Summit, the plaque of appreciation was presented to HWPL, affirming his pledge to participate in HWPL's peace movement. Dr. Mollah has since faithfully carried out HWPL's peace movement.

Following the WARP Summit, Dr. Mollah expressed his wish for peace and voluntarily participated in Chairman Lee's peace movement.

Upon his return to Bangladesh, Dr. Mollah joined International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) and held a miniature WARP Summit in Bangladesh that year. In 2015, he attended the 1st Annual Commemoration of the WARP Summit, and opened and managed an HWPL WARP Office in Dhaka, Bangladesh. He was also appointed HWPL Peace Ambassador.

From May-July 2016, Dr. Mollah conducted a signature campaign for the enactment of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW, 10 Articles and 38 Clauses) as international law, for which he garnered roughly 9,000 signatures.

On May 25, 2017, he personally hosted a Peace Walk campaign with around 3,000 participants, and attended the 3rd Annual Commemoration of the WARP Summit held in South Korea in September that year. Recognizing the need for peace education, he provided peace education to leading schools.

In August 2018, Dr. Mollah celebrated the DPCW and delivered the HWPL Peace Letter to the Minister of Education of Bangladesh. He also attended the opening ceremony of the 4th Annual Commemoration of the WARP Summit. In 2020, he actively participated in various peace activities with HWPL, including the creation of a joint statement for peace in Myanmar.
