72 Hindu NGO's together with 54 Ashrams, and Acharya Sabhas join hand in
supporting the Hindu Malaysia Agenda,
to highlight the issues and problems faced by Hindus in Malaysia to all political parties,
Concerning 5 Main Matters:
1. Constitutional,
2. Economic,
3. Religious & Temple,
4. Education,
5. Social

1. Constitutional:
Even though Article 121 (A) is silent and merely says that Syariah Courts shall have independent jurisdiction,
the present situation is that Syariah Courts is allowed to lord over Civil Laws and Courts. In many instances,
one spouse converts into Islam and unilaterally converts the underage child into Islam. And, the spouse also
loses all rights to EPF and property of the converted spouse. Such injustices should be rectified.
No child should be forcibly converted by one parent unilaterally, and in any case the child shall decide
his religion upon maturity. The rights of a spouse to property and EPF should be resolved before the
marriage is nullified in a Civil Court. Such cases should never be decided under Syariah Court because
the marriage was contracted under the Civil Law.

2. Education:
We seek full aid from Government for all Tamil school - without any condition imposed.
We seek mandatory Hindu religious classes for Hindu students at primary, secondary and tertiary levels.
We seek equal opportunities for University entrance based on merit.
We seek free education for all Hindu Malaysians up to tertiary levels.

3. Economic:
We seek the Government to set up a Hindu Malaysia Development Cooperation, so that funds
could be applied and given out directly to deserving Hindus without interference from any political entities.
We seek fair economic policy for Hindu Malaysians.

4. Religious:
We seek the Government to set up State Level Hindu body to supervise and deal with all Hindu temples.
No temples should be demolished without the permission of the State body. All matters regarding
administration of temples should be dealt by this bodies.

5. Social:
The plight of the estranged estate workers must be addressed.
Opportunities in FELDA like schemes should be explored for such workers.

The Hindu Malaysia Task Force is not asking for any positions for any Hindus at any level,
like Deputy Prime Minister or Thaipusam holidays etc as it would not help the Hindus at
grass root level. Please note that we identify ourselves as Hindu rather than Indian as the
Hindus in Malaysia has only lost out by calling ourselves as Indians. Many who claim
to be Indians but of other religions eat into the Indian quota but will happily reject the
identity as an Indian whenever convenient. We shall not identify ourselves as Indians anymore
as we are not Indians but are Malaysians - HINDU MALAYSIA, and we seek our rights
as guaranteed under the constitution.
