00:00Urimay Deputy Chairman David Marshall has called on the government to work with Google

00:07to remove the illegal temple label that appears alongside Hindu temples when searched on Google

00:14Maps.

00:15Marshall also urged Communications Minister Fahmy Fadzil to investigate those responsible

00:21for this, saying it was disrespectful to the Hindu community.

00:26He said many of the temples have existed for over 50 years, primarily in estates and

00:31suburban areas where Indian laborers have lived and contributed to the nation's development.

00:38He warned that such labels risk sowing division and hatred in society.

00:44A check by FMT on Waze, a Google subsidiary, also found the illegal temple labels.

00:52Land rights for old Hindu temples have become a controversial topic recently, after the

00:57plan to relocate the Devi Sree Patrakaliamman Temple to make way for the construction of

01:03Masjid Madani sparked a public backlash.
