KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3- Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor today gave the assurance that the Sri Muneswarar Kaliyaman Hindu temple in Jalan P. Ramlee will not be demolished.
He said the compound of the 101-year-old temple would be beautified instead and a fence built around the temple.
Only a small portion of the canteen and an illegally-erected restaurant adjacent to the temple would be demolished.
“We will build a fence and beautify the temple compound,” he told reporters after a visit to the temple.
Tengku Adnan was accompanied by the deputy minister, Datuk Dr J. Loga Bala Mohan; People’s Progressive Party (PPP) senior vice-president Datuk Maglin Dennis D’Cruz and PPP Federal Territory chairman Datuk A. Chandrakumanan.
Yesterday, several committee members of the temple and leaders of Indian parties prevented Kuala Lumpur City Hall personnel from demolishing the illegal extensions adjacent to the temple.
