Dear Mr. Mohinder Singh, ” Sat Sri Akaal”
Congratulations on you recent appointment as the new President of the Gurudawara Sahib Ipoh.
My name is Chandar Prakash Ram Singh Gulzar. I have in my possession an old recording of my father’s Asa Di Vaar which he did at the Gurudawara Sahib Ipoh in 1974. As a tribute to my father and the entire Sikh community in Malaysia, this recording by Giani Ram Singh Gulzar is a historical depiction of Malaysian Sikhs. The CD is in good and I would like to contribute this as a memorable gesture to the Ipoh Gurudawara.and for all all other Gurudawaras in Malaysia. I will make myself available to discuss matters .urther upon your request. My mobile number is .
Waddah Gurdwara sahib being the Premier Sikh place of worship in Ipoh has to be the best run and managed and the New Team can do that.
Hope the new Gurdwara Management Committee will show TRANSPARENCY AND THUS ACCOUNTABILITY OF ITS FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT for all the Sanggat to see and not LIMIT THE INFORMATION JUST TO PAYING MEMBERS. In this way Ipoh Wadda Gurdwara can also keep the Sanggat informed so that the Sanggat who include many Experts and Professionals, can come to its aid if needed and also provide suggestions/guidance in financial matters for better management not only in financial but also on other matters.
By doing so it may also set an example for other Gurdwaras and NGOs and thus be a leader for others.
