00:00Idiotic, illogical, and absurd.
00:04This is how MIC Deputy President M Saravanan described the proposed amendments to the funding
00:08guidelines for non-Muslim places of worship.
00:11Earlier this week, Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Ayman Atira Sabu said
00:16the amendments included barring non-Muslim houses of worship that have already received
00:20government funding from submitting new applications for three years.
00:24In a statement, Saravanan warned that the move could erode support for the administration,
00:29especially among the Indian community.
00:31The TAPAI MP said the new rules would deprive Hindu temples of essential funding for repairs
00:36and emergencies.
00:37He also accused the government of taking the Indian community for granted despite its significant
00:42contributions to the country's development.
