Compiled by C. ARUNO, RAHIMY RAHIM and R. ARAVINTHANA MAN in a Hindu temple in Jalan Gasing, who was seen forcefully confiscating and throwing out food brought by a woman for annadanam (food offering) has drawn flak, Malaysia Nanban reported. In videos posted online, the woman is seen with packets of food she had brought for devotees visiting the well-known temple in Petaling Jaya. However, an unknown man rudely confronted and told her that outsiders cannot give annadanam “in our temple”. He is seen grabbing the items following an argument which caused the food to be spilled on the ground. Meanwhile, Malaysia Hindu Sangam president T. Ganesan issued a statement, urging all temples and temple officials to remember that they are serving the faith and the community.
