 History
From:
 http://www.sriselvavinayagar.com

"The Sri Selva Vinayagar temple was built as a wooden temple about 103 years ago. It was formerly known as Pillaiyar or Vinayagar temple. This temple was earlier maintained by the  Prai railway and port labourers. The Sri Selva Vinayagar Temple was reconstructed in 1967.Two Kumbabishegams were held in 1974 and 1991 respectively. 17 years have passed since the last renovation in 1991. This temple was officially registered in 1987 under the Malaysia Society Act 1966 under the name of Kuil Sri Selvavinayagar Hindu Paripalana Devasthanam 

Due to public road works, including the construction of an overhead bridge, the land between the road & the temple has been elevated. This in turn, effectively leaves our temple 5 feet below the road level. Furthermore this has caused cracks to appear on the ceiling & the Vimana, resulting in severe water leakage when it rains. This caused the inside of the temple to be wet & slippery, posing a hazard to devotees. Also the older temple layout did not have an access road in front (main entrance) since it is immediately facing the side wall of a neighbouring house. The lack of an access road in front of the temple has resulted in devotees coming from the rear of the temple, circumnavigating their way to the main entrance."


New Structure       

"Considering the above factors as well as land area limitations, the management committee decided that the Sri Selva Vinayagar’s new abode should be built as a double-storey structure at the current location facing west instead. The new structure is estimated to cost RM 3 million, based on the Quantity Surveyor’s report. On the 11th February 2008, a Palasthabana ceremony was conducted to relocate the deities of the temple to a temporary location next to the Temple.

We invoke the Lord’s blessings and call upon you, the devotees and well wishers, to fully support this noble cause by generously contributing in terms of cash, kind & also words of encouragement.Furthermore, the temple has received the approval of tax exemption from the Inland Revenue Board. All donations can be given directly at our temple premises or deposited into our bank account."

History
From

The Sri Palanimalai Murugan Temple is located in Jalan Ulu Temiang, Seremban. It was established at the current site by a Sanyasini called Sammyammah in the year 1954. The temple is nestled on a hill where there is a Chinese Temple on its peak and a Mosque at the foothill with Sri Palanimalai Murugan in the center. This shows the racial harmony here in Malaysia where all places of worship can be side by side.

The current temple complex was built in the year 1966.This temple is currently under renovation. For further information please click on the links below.

HISTORY
From:
 http://bangsarnageswarytemple.my

This temple was constructed by residents of the squatters houses situated in vicinity of Jalan Abdullah, Bangsar Kuala Lumpur before the second World War and prayers and other activities were held daily and the devotees were the residents of the squatter houses, municipal quarters, as well as the railway employees and their families. Some residents of the nearby areas patronised the temple. This temple contributed to serve the needs of the Hindu residents until 1977.
In 1977, the Urban Development Authority (UDA) was involved in redeveloping the area to build staff quarters for the Malayan Railway employees. The temple was asked to make way for the development and after a series of negotiation with the UDA management, it was finally agreed a piece of land to be allocated to the temple at its current site measuring 30″ x 15″ and it was also build by UDA for the temple at their expenses.
