Former Penang Hindu Endowment Board members are hoping that their successors will make their dream to set up an Indian Cultural Centre in the state a reality.
Former board chairman P. K. Subbaiyah said the outgoing board hoped the new board members would continue to pursue plans for projects that were made and presented to the Federal Government for approvals.
He said this included the cultural centre that would have an auditorium and a museum to exhibit the history of the Indian people in Malaysia, the Indian culture and Hinduism.
He said the centre was proposed to be built on the endowment’s land at the Waterfall Road Temple while a mixed development project was proposed at the endowment’s land at the Jalan Siram-Jalan Telaga Air enclave in Butterworth.
“The last Cabinet had approved the proposals in principle,” Suibbaiyah told a press conference on Friday after a meeting with Deputy Chief Minister II Dr P. Ramasamy and incoming Penang Hindu Endowment Board mem-bers at Komtar to brief them on ongoing programmes, projects and endowment properties and to hand over documents.
