In conjunction with the sacred celebration of Maha Shivaratri, the Penang Hindu Endowment Board (PHEB) is pleased to announce the construction of a long-awaited crematorium facility in Bagan Dalam, on land owned by PHEB.

 

The new facility will be equipped with two modern incinerators to ensure smoother, more systematic and efficient operations. With increased capacity, it will reduce waiting time, improve service delivery, and provide a dignified, well-managed final rite process for the Hindu community in Penang.

 

This project is made possible through a RM1.5 million allocation approved by YAB Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, reflecting the Federal Government’s commitment to addressing the needs and sensitivities of all communities.

 

PHEB will implement the project through an open and transparent tender process, with full adherence to principles of integrity, accountability and good governance. Tender details will be published on the official PHEB Facebook page. Qualified contractors are encouraged to apply.

 

The project is targeted for completion by the end of 2026 and aims to deliver a modern facility that meets all required technical, health and environmental standards.

 

May this Maha Shivaratri bring blessings, strength and new beginnings to our community, and serve as a symbol of unity and shared progress.
