Dear Editor,
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Gurdwara Sahib Jelapang, Ipoh, Perak, is honoured to be among 57 gurdwaras nationwide receiving RM20,000 each under the Harmoni Madani Phase 1 Programme.
At the Harmoni Madani and Dharma Madani launch ceremony held on 27 October 2026 at Menara PERKESO, Putrajaya, the Government announced a total allocation of RM3.28 million for 164 places of worship serving the Indian community. This included RM1.38 million for 57 gurdwaras and 12 churches, alongside RM1.9 million for 95 Hindu temples.
The event was officiated by Human Resources Minister R. Ramanan, with Penang Deputy Chief Minister II YB Jagdeep Singh Deo also in attendance.
The Management Committee and Sangat of Gurdwara Sahib Jelapang express their sincere appreciation to the Government of Malaysia, MITRA and KESUMA for this initiative. Special thanks are extended to Baldeep Singh and Jageer Singh (MGC) for their valuable assistance and support.
The assistance is intended to support religious, spiritual, cultural and community-based activities, including education, youth development and community empowerment.
Gurdwara Sahib Jelapang also welcomes representatives of other gurdwaras to share ideas and explore opportunities for voluntary collaboration and joint programmes that benefit the Sangat and uplift the wider Sikh community. All suggestions and initiatives are welcome, with each gurdwara free to participate according to its own priorities.
Together, through unity and seva, we can build a stronger and more connected Sikh community.
Kind regards,
