KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet has decided to approve and renew visas and permits for Hindu priests, musicians and artisans from India.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said the issue was brought to the attention of the Cabinet, which made the decision at its meeting last week.
“The Cabinet agreed to allow and to extend the services, but for special categories only,” he said in a statement here yesterday.
The MIC secretary-general said he would meet with non-governmental organisations and Hindu bodies as soon as possible to discuss the categories as well as the guidelines to be established.
He will also have discussions with Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar and Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal on the implementation of the decision.
Dr Subramaniam said the Cabinet wanted locals to be trained to reduce dependency on foreigners.

It’s really a great topic selected by you to discuss over here. Sometime it’s difficult to get approval on visa. Lot of people discuss such things online and try to find out solution for the same so sharing such things which relate to visa, can really help people.
Thanks & Regards,
