About Us
This is an official portal for Malaysian Hindu Temples.
Our Introduction
The Malaysian Hindu Temple Information Coordination Unit (UPIKHM) was initiated in 2022 under the vision of YB Datuk Seri M. Saravanan, Minister of Human Resources, with the mission of developing a comprehensive portal that serves as the official database of all Hindu temples in Malaysia.
This initiative is generously sponsored by YBhg Datuk Wira Shahul Hameed Dawood, Chief Executive Officer of HRD Corp, and is designed to meet the long-term needs of the Hindu community while serving as an official reference for the government and public.
The portal will be made available in Bahasa Malayu, English, and Tamil, ensuring accessibility for all communities. It aims to consolidate vital information, provide transparency, and support collaboration across temple organizations nationwide.
