KUALA LUMPUR: A committee will be formed to gather data on temples facing land and administrative issues across all states and propose solutions in accordance with laws and regulations ...

Ramasamy Palanisamy, president of the United for the Rights of Malaysians (Urimai) party, emphasised that the temple is a ‘significant landmark’ and ‘predates Malaysia's independence’.

Yesterday, a news portal reported that the Hindu temple was under threat of demolition after the government and Kuala Lumpur City Hall approved plans for the construction of a mosque in the area.

Jakel Group, the owner of a piece of land that houses the Dewi Sri Pathrakaliamman Temple in Jalan Masjid India, guarantees that it will not force a demolition of the Hindu worship house.
