Letters of approval reserving government land for the three gurdwaras, namely in Sungai Besi, Jalan Padang Merbok and Cheras, were presented to the recipients by the minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin.
Nong Chik said the approval would also prevent the sites from being misused for other purposes.
“The move is in line with the government’s policy of ensuring that non-Muslims can carry out their religious activities in comfort and an orderly manner,” he told reporters, here Tuesday.
He said to date, 11 lots involving 2.23 hectares (5.58 acres) for gurdwaras had been approved for the Federal Territory. – BERNAMA
