If all goes to plan, the renovation work for the headquarters of Sant Attar Singh Ji Brahm Vidya Niketan Malaysia will be completed by next month (October 2023). Some 70% of the work at hand has been completed.
The Malaysian Sikh organisation involved in Sikhi parchaar is short of RM120,000 for the remainder of the work, according to a note sent to Asia Samachar. (See appeal letter below).
The on-going work is the first major renovation for its building in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, purchased in 2001.
