We don’t only have problem with maintenance, but even with proper crematorium and areas to perform last rites. This is a suggestion which I think will again fall on deaf ears.
Also, this is a good effort by MIC Youth. Hopefully the cemetery cleaning event would be an annual event as their plan.
MIC Youth has asked the Government for financial grants to help maintain Indian cemeteries.
Malaysia Nanban quoted Youth chief T. Mohan as saying that temple committees and non-governmental organisations were facing a shortage of funds for the upkeep of the cemeteries.
Mohan, who took part in a clean-up campaign at the Puchong Indian cemetery on Labour Day, said all the state Youth sub-committees had also organised a similar exercise in 24 Indian cemeteries.
The MIC Youth would undertake the cleaning up of the cemeteries in all states on every Labour Day, he added.
The Government, he claimed, had previously announced that it would allocate RM300,000 for the maintenance of the cemeteries but no funds had been disbursed to date.
