SOME Hindu devotees in Perak are unhappy that they will not be allowed to offer milk to the statue of Lord Muruga at the Ipoh Kallumalai Sri Subramaniar Temple after 10am today. 

The new ruling was imposed by the temple management which stated that devotees could make their offerings to Vel (the spear which symbolises Lord Muruga) outside the temple and not the main altar with the statue inside.
