MIC's Hostel In Bandar Utama Would Help Indian Students

KUALA LUMPUR, May 3 (Bernama) -- The latest effort by the MIC to build a student hostel on its land in Bandar Utama was to further its goal in uplifting and providing better educational facilities to needy students from the Indian Community.

Its president, Datuk Seri G. Palanivel said the only student hostel they had before for the Indian students was the PPN hostel in Petaling Jaya which was built by The National Union of Plantation Workers (NUPW) for the benefit of students from estates.

"However, some years ago the PPN hostel was demolished to give way for a condominium project," he said in a statement here, Thursday.

Palanivel said since then there had been no hostel facilities for rural Indian students who were unable to find accommodation in their respective university campuses.

He said the MIC hostel project in Bandar Utama would solve the problem and added that the hostel complex would come complete with a good sports field.
