Batu Caves is abuzz with activity as tens of thousands of Hindu devotees and tourists have already flocked to the holy site four days ahead of the annual Thaipusam celebration.
Batu Caves Hindu temple chairman Tan Sri R. Nadarajah added that the escalator will be free of charge for devotees and tourists, and expressed hope that the federal government will allocate some funds for this.
After eight years of operating on the top floor of Menara MPAJ in Ampang Jaya, local punk music venue Rumah Api will be relocating later this year due to increased rental and related arrears that accumulated during the Covid-19 pandemic.
