Malay Indian body calls on government to allocate funds for temples, schools

KUALA LUMPUR - The Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) has appealed to the government to give financial grants to Indian temples and Tamil schools, and provide more job opportunities for the community in government-linked agencies to ensure that they return to support the Barisan Nasional.

The Star and the Uthaya Surian quoted MIC deputy president and Deputy Plantations, Industries and Commodities Minister G. Palanivel, as saying that the government should channel the allocations through the party so it can strengthen ties with the people.

“We can win the confidence of the Indian voters if we do more than what the Pakatan government has done,” he was reported as saying yesterday. (ANI)
