Hindu temple faces demolition in Malaysia | A Hindu temple in Malaysia 's Perak state will decide in a week whether or not it will vacate the temple premises,
as per the district council's order. Meanwhile, Tronoh assemblyman V. Sivakumar
appealed to the Sri Maha Kali-amman Hindu temple in Batu Gajah committee to consider
all repercussions before reaching a decision. Referring to Perak Mentri Besar
Dr Zambry Abd Kadir's promise that no temples would be demolished, Sivakumar asked
state Speaker R. Ganesan to urge the council to retract its decision to demolish
the 30-year-old temple, which serves about 100 devotees daily. Earlier, the council
had issued eviction notice to the temple, ordering it to move out by December
21. According to The Star Online, the notice was issued after the owners of a
food stall beside the temple complained that the structure was built illegally
on council land. Sivakumar said under Local Agenda 21, locals should first agree
upon any form of development before it is carried out. |
