The interesting questions here:
– Why in the first place the temple committee “failed to secure” a meeting with the district land office?
– Why must have political interference/intervention in administrative organisation?
– Does this mean the normal people like you and me can’t go to land office and make appointment for a meeting? Aren’t we paying the staff salary via taxes? Who are the office’s customers? Public or others?
Anyway, kudos to the MIC group in Kluang for able to solve this problem. Its not easy, even for the political parties that represent the minorities.
THE Kluang district land office in Johor has agreed to set aside an alternative site for the relocation of two prominent Hindu temples, which have been squatting on Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) land for 50 years.
Tamil Nesan reported Kluang MIC chief K. Raman as saying that district officer Abdul Razak Mat Salleh had confirmed the relocation plan for the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple at Jalan Hospital and Thirumugan Temple in the nearby army camp.
Raman said the agreement was reached after a meeting between Kluang MIC members and council officers on Tuesday.
He said the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple had to be moved to another site as it was in the way of the double railway tracks being laid by KTM while the other temple had to be shifted because the army camp was going to be moved or even closed down.
Both temple committees had sought the help of Kluang MIC after they failed to secure meetings with the district land office.
