Nothing to fear, residents told

All approved: Vivekananda showing the approval letters from the Environment Department and Ipoh City Council permitting the association to upgrade the crematorium at the Buntong Tamil cemetery.

RESIDENTS living near the Buntong Tamil cemetery need not worry about smell and ash being emitted from the crematorium at the Buntong Tamil cemetery after it is upgraded.

M. Vivekananda, secretary of the Ipoh Hindu Devasthana Paripalana Sabah, which manages the cemetery on Jalan Madras in Buntong, said wood fire burners at the existing crematorium would be replaced with modern incinerators.
