Alleged illegal temple construction on campus land referred to Limas, says UKM


PETALING JAYA: Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) has issued a clarification regarding the alleged illegal construction of a temple on campus land.

In a statement on Monday (March 30), the university said its management met with the Selangor government over the matter.

“It was decided that the issue will be brought to the Special Committee on Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, and Taoist Affairs (Limas) for further investigation.

“Accordingly, UKM will await further feedback from the state government before any further action is taken,” the statement said.

The university added that any decisions would follow established procedures, including review by the relevant authorities, to ensure a comprehensive and prudent solution.

The university also urged all parties not to speculate or spread rumours that could cause confusion or tension over the issue.

UKM’s statement follows a viral post on X, which alleged that the university encroached on temple land.
