Press Release

"It is with deep regret that Datuk A.Vaithilingam, President Malaysia  Hindu Sangam, resigns from the Executive Committee of the Malaysian  Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism  (MCCBCHS). Datuk Vaithi has already tendered his resignation on December  1, 2004 but the MCCBCHS did not accept it and appealed to the Central  Council of Malaysia Hindu Sangam (MHS) to urge him withdraw his  resignation. The Central Council met on January 21, 2005. After hearing  the explanation from him, the Council unanimously accepted the decision  to resign. The meeting also decided that the MHS will withdraw from the  MCCBCHS if the Christian partners do not respect the existence of the  Hindu Community in Malaysia. A call was made to immediately stop the  unethical methods of lies and falsehoods preached to non-Christians  about their respective religions. The Malaysia Hindu Sangam will soon be  meeting the Buddhist and Sikh partners to explain his stand. The Taoists  leaders will also be meeting the MHS leaders soon on this issue."
