Sri Arulmigu Muneeswarar Alayam is the place of worship and home for devotees and worshippers from all walks of life. It has been in existence for more than 20 years and is enthusiastically involved in religious and spiritual activities, as well as a centre for humanitarian crisis and welfare. Various religious festivals and gatherings are organized throughout the years to educate worshippers to create awareness towards realizing the importance of our tradition, culture and heritage and the practice of spiritualism in our daily lives. The temple has approximately 800 devotees and is currently in the process of building a new temple. The primary aim of building the new temple is to provide better facilities to all our devotees and well-wishers and at the same time would enable us to expand and implement more service-oriented programmes for our community, with full force. The estimated cost of constructing the new temple is RM850,000. But, with prices of construction materials spiraling daily, it might even exceed the estimated figure. The temple through its various fund-raising events held over the past few years, raised approximately RM320,000 which was fully utilized for the construction of the foundation structure including overall brickworks and plastering of all the individual deity’s altar, main hall, front-entrance structure and pillars. Due to financial constraints during the current economic crisis, the construction work was forced to put on hold temporarily until the required balance funds are available in hand. The successful completion of this building project is dependant largely on the invaluable donations from the devotees and well-wishers.
