Putra Heights, Kuantan joins Merdeka Day Shining Turban campaign

Two more gurdwaras have joined the Merdeka Day Shining Turban campaign. Let us welcome on board Gurdwara Sahib Putra Heights and Gurdwara Sahib Kuantan.

Both gurdwaras will encourage their members to don a turban on 31 Aug 2018 as Malaysia celebrates the 61st Merdeka Day (independence day).

Putra Heights gurdwara committee president Jaspal Singh, who does not usually wear a turban, has given his commitment to don a turban on that day.

Gurdwara Sahib Kuantan committee president Dr Dharshan Singh says he will share the message with fellow Sikhs in the Pahang city.

‘This is a great idea. We are happy to join,” Dr Dharshan told Asia Samachar.
