In a statement, the ministry said the allocation was channeled to finance the implementation of social and cultural programmes, including provisions for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that were associated with the Indian community, as well as religious temples, churches and Gurdwaras. 
"The provision was also channeled to finance skills training institutes, as well as the maintenance and construction of new blocks of Tamil schools," it said.
"In preparing the annual budget, the government always takes into account the needs of the many communities that can help and reduce the burden of the people, such as 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M), School Aid, 1Malaysia Book Vouchers, and the provision of road infrastructure, hospitals and schools nationwide.
"The government's planning has benefitted and is enjoyed by all Malaysians," the ministry said.
Secretary-general of the Treasury Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah, in an interview with a Tamil-language newspaper, Malaysian Nanban, was previously quoted as saying that the government had allocated RM2.89 billion for Indians.
Last week, a portal reported that Penang Deputy Chief Minister II, P. Ramasamy had questioned whether the provision was beneficial to the socioeconomic development of the Indian community in the country.
Besides him, Hindu Rights Action Front (Hindraf) chairman P. Waytha Moorthy also queried whether the provision had been used to improve the standard of living of Indians. – Bernama

  1. Thank you for the good article.
    We live in the world that has become wider in a sense of business and competition. Everything went on the Web in addition to the existing physical global challenges in business. I heard that one of the latest innovations is moving to data rooms - cloud-based security-protected repositories.
