MALAYSIA, September 23, 2009: After 52 years of Independence, the actual”number of Hindu places of worship” in Malaysia is not known. Without the availability of data, it has been difficult to develop strategies for their future of Hindu temples, especially on serious matters related to defending against demolitions.
The Temple Committee of the Malaysia Hindu Sangam (MHS), in the context of looking out for the needs of Hindus in Malaysia, now initiated a community-based nationwide joint project together with Shakti Foundation to collect data on Hindu places of worship in the country.
To develop a truly comprehensive database, we invite all Hindus in Malaysia,to participate. All one has to do is to visit the website www.myhindutemples.com and complete a survey online. The details you can provide are the temple’s name, Address and contact no, temple festivals and images of the activities.
You can also send the information to our email or id: myhindutemples@yahoo.com .
