Gurdwara Sahib Sibu, damaged in a fire incident on Dec 14, is seeking support to rebuild its two-storey largely wooden structure.
The estimated cost is between RM250,000 and RM300,000, which include replacing the roof and the darbar at the first floor, gurdwara caretaker Jagjiwan Singh told Asia Samachar.
The other works include repairing the wooden floooring of the darbar sahib (prayer hall) and other parts of the building damaged by water from the rescue efforts. Also requiring work is the ground floor ceiling, ground floor tiles, a number of electrical items as well as furniture.
