SOME 200 delegates representing almost 100 temples in Penang attended the Malaysian Hindu Sangam (MHS) Penang State Council's temple convention where they were briefed on safety matters by the police and challenges faced by local temples.

Organising chairman A Tharman, a national youth leader of MHS and state vice-chairman, said the convention was mainly to provide the delegates with knowledge on MHS rules and regulations.
