Penang Hindu Endowments Board received complaints from the temple management after the old Sree Dharma Muniswaran Temple in Air Itam was closed by MBPP yesterday due to renovations carried out without approval, causing dissatisfaction among the Hindu community in Penang.

Early this morning at 7 a.m., Dr. Lingeshwaran R Arunasalam , representing PHEB, along with Dato’ Bandar Dato’ Rajendran, Council Member Tuan Visva, and PHEB commissioners Dato’ Dhinagaran Jayabalan and Dato’ Parthipan, visited the temple to facilitate its reopening so the public could continue their prayers.

Meanwhile, Dr. Lingeshwaran advised the TMC to obtain the necessary approval from MBPP before proceeding with any further renovation work. He also reminded the public that before renovating any temple, approval must be obtained from the local council to avoid complaints and the risk of the temple being closed.
