The residents, comprising about 80% Indians, had built the Sri Muniswarar temple with the hope that Nesa would eventually allocate the land for the temple. <\/p>\n
The residents were surprised that Nesa would use the land to build houses instead and had not allocated any alternative land to them for religious purposes. <\/p>\n
They submitted their request to Perak MIC chief and state executive councillor Datuk G. Rajoo who attended the annual religious celebrations at the temple on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
Rajoo said it was surprising to note that Nesa, a cooperative for the Indian community, had failed to allocate the land for religious purposes. <\/p>\n
\n He assured the residents that the temple would not be demolished till the alternative land was found. <\/p>\n
\n He also promised to talk to Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli Ghazali to approve a plot of land. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
