With regards to the letter Deputy minister acted under 'great provocation' by the Malaysia Hindu Sangam, I would advice the Sangam to stay out of politics. Since when has the Sangam the time to talk about politics?

The body is already known for his ineffectiveness in relation to matters affecting Malaysian Hindus. It should concentrate its time on effort on the following issues:

The ever increasing in number of Hindus converting to other religions. This negative trend is being left unchecked.

Hindu temples not propagating the religion and religious values are not being emphasised.

The increasing number of Hindus consuming alcohol and illegal 'samsu'. There has been no campaign to stop this.

The lack of religious classes in schools for Hindu pupils and qualified teachers for them. This is one of the reasons why gangsterism among young Indian Malaysians is on the increase.

The Malaysian Hindu Sangam has done little about the above matters. They have their job cut out for them. A job with its own role and responsibilities. They should not involve a religious body in dirty politics.
