THE 90-year-old Sri Vazhikattum Muniswarar Temple in Lembah Permai, Penang, will not be affected by the proposed North Coastal Paired Road (NCPR) project connecting Tanjung Bungah to Teluk Bahang.

Earlier, it was learned that the temple might face relocation to pave the way for the 10.53km four-lane road from SK Teluk Bahang until the L-shaped bend of Lembah Permai near the temple.
