Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo also attended the Thaipusam celebration at the Sri Subramaniyar Swamy temple in Batu Caves, during which he pledged the support of the central government for the enhancement of temple facilities. Specifically, he announced that funds would be allocated to assist the temple management in their efforts. Addressing a critical need, Tan Sri Nadarajah had previously mentioned the installation of an escalator at Batu Caves as an alternative to ascending the 272 steps to reach the cave temple.

During the event, Minister Gobind Singh Deo disclosed that he had discussed this proposal with the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Notably, Prime Minister expressed agreement with the initiative and committed to providing financial assistance for the implementation of the escalator project.

“I have engaged in discussions with the Prime Minister, and the central government has committed to providing assistance. We have urged the temple management to provide us with the necessary financial application. Once we receive the application, we will handle the process accordingly,” Gobind Singh Deo stated.

In an effort to empower the Indian youth community, Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong of the Human Resource Ministry disclosed intentions to launch training programs worth of 4.5 million. These programs, designed with the unique needs of Indian youths in mind, aim to equip them with essential skills and knowledge for personal and professional growth. Minister Sim stressed the importance of seizing this opportunity, encouraging Indian youth to actively participate in these programs to enhance their capabilities and contribute effectively to the workforce. This commitment underscores the government’s dedication to fostering inclusive growth and providing meaningful avenues for skill development within diverse communities.
