Prevent the Demolition of Batu Kawan Estate Muthu Mariamman Temple

The Issue

As a local resident and devout Hindu, I have cherished the spiritual solace and cultural significance of the Batu Kawan Estate Muthu Mariamman Temple in Simpang Ampat, Penang, Malaysia. This historic temple is not just a place for prayer; it is a testament to our Indian origins and an integral part of our community's identity. However, this precious landmark is currently under threat due to various legal issues.

The temple has stood as an emblem of our heritage for generations. It represents the rich tapestry of Indian culture that has been woven into the fabric of Malaysian society over centuries. Its demolition would be a devastating loss not only to Hindus but also to anyone who values cultural diversity and historical preservation.

We believe that instead of demolishing it, this temple should be declared as heritage property. Such recognition would ensure its protection for future generations while acknowledging its importance as a symbol of our community's history and identity.

We call upon local authorities in Batu Kawan, Simpang Ampat, Penang, Malaysia to intervene in these legal proceedings with urgency. We urge them to recognize the historical significance and cultural value that this temple holds by declaring it a heritage property.

Let us stand together against this demolition - let us preserve our history for future generations! Please sign this petition today!
