KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, August 22, 2005: The World Hindu Federation (WHF) will be holding its 17th Executive Committee Meeting at Hotel Grand Seasons, Kuala Lumpur, on August 27 and 28, 2005. About 200 participants representing about 15 nations are expected to attend this meeting which is being held for the first time in Malaysia. This Federation was established 25 years ago in Nepal. Malaysia Hindu Sangam is hosting this meeting. A very interesting feature is that while the WHF is celebrating the silver jubilee, the Malaysia Hindu Sangam is celebrating its 40th anniversary. This meeting will give the opportunity to about 50 local leading Hindu organizations and temples to attend as observer delegates and participate in the special forums being held discussing the globalization of Hinduism in the 21st century. Y. B. Dato Seri S. Samy Vellu, the Minister of Works Malaysia, will officiate the opening ceremony and host the lunch for about 400 delegates, guests and journalists after the ceremony.
