KOTA KINABALU, Oct 30 (Bernama) -- Sabah will receive RM350,000 to build three Hindu temples and a Sikh temple.
State MIC chairman Datuk V. Jothy said the allocation was given by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
"A sum of RM200,000 is allocated to build the Sri Murugan Temple in Tawau, Sri Subramaniar Temple in Lok Kawi Camp and Pasupathinath Temple in Kota Kinabalu, and RM50,000 for building a Sikh gurdwara, also in Kota Kinabalu.
"I am very touched by the concern shown by the deputy prime minister and the allocation is a recognition for the Indian community's contribution in Sabah," he said after holding a Sabah MIC Deepavali open house which was attended by Muhyiddin.
Jothy said the large allocation for Sri Murugan Temple was for the preparation of a Hindu festival celebration next year called Maha Kumba Bisegam, held every 12 years.
