Sikh Welfare Society Malaysia (SWSM) is running low on volunteers to keep up its monthly visits to the Kajang Prison. They need Sikh volunteers to step forward to ensure they can continue the service.
Today, their team made their monthly visit to the prison where some 25 Sikhs are serving prison sentences of between three months to 14 years.
“They are always happy to see. The visits are very much appreciated,” SWSM President Tarlochan Singh Dhaliwal tells Asia Samachar. “But we need more volunteers.”

He said the visits are of the main projects of the current executive committee in line with one of its core objectives of providing assistance to our needy members of the Sikh society.
The program included counselling sessions, Gurbani recitation, kirtan followed by ardas (prayer) and distribution of dheg.
“We have been urged to come at least once a month. Other religious groups make weekly visits,” said Tarlochan.
SWSM hopes more volunteers will come forward to join the future visits. Those interested to join can contact SWSM Secretary Sdr. Charanbir Singh Aujla at +6016-2789964.
