MALAYSIA (The Star): The Malaysia Hindu Sangam is taking the necessary action to ensure Tamil religious classes are held in schools and temples nationwide by next year. It quoted its president R.S. Mohan Shan as saying that the organization would have 2,500 locally-trained religious teachers to conduct the classes in the next five years.

Shan said lack of religious and moral education among the younger generation had resulted in an increase in social issues affecting the Indian community. And the Sangam would cooperate with other Indian organisations to solve social problems affecting the Indian community.
