Yesterday, the organization carried out its annual initiative of carrying individuals with disabilities to reach the top of the cave temple at Batu Caves.

The founder of Tamilan Uthavum Karangkal, A. Muraly, shared, “It was on my father’s 50th birthday that I took an individual with disabilities up the 272 steps of the Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple for prayer during Thaipusam. Since that moment, my resolve to make meaningful contributions to the Indian community in Malaysia has only strengthened.”

The NGO, ‘Tamilan Uthavum Karangkal’, persists in making significant contributions through its social programs aimed at assisting individuals with disabilities, particularly in conjunction with the Thaipusam celebration.
