KUALA LUMPUR: Following Thaipusam, cleanup crews swung into action at the Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple in Batu Caves. This is despite the efforts of non-governmental organisation Clean Thaipusam, which had placed cardboard bins for waste disposal outside the entrance to Batu Caves. Although Thaipusam has ended, visiting Batu Caves – a sacred site for Hindus – is considered a must for tourists visiting Malaysia. Indian nationals C. Vivek and Rakshitha Vivek said visiting Batu Caves and viewing the Lord Muruga statue was an eye-opening experience. German Muriel Kutschera said a visit to Batu Caves is a must for her and was excited to be at this beautiful holy site.
