Hindu temples receive govt funds to tide them over

Mohan says the allocation was approved following a loss of income during the MCO.

THE Federal Government has allocated about RM4.2mil to help 1,934 Hindu temples nationwide that have seen a drop in their income due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Malaysia Hindu Sangam (MHS) president Datuk R.S. Mohan Shan said the allocation was approved through the Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit (Mitra) following pleas from temples that faced challenges in managing their operations.
