AT THEIR wits’ end, two devotees of the 147-year-old Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in USJ 25 have been on a hunger strike since Sunday to stop its relocation.

Nagaraju Meganathan, 64 – who said his grandfather built the temple when the area was an oil palm plantation – and K. Selvam, of non-governmental organisation Free Malaysia, said they were willing to die to save the temple.
