Hi Ranga,
About 55-65% of the indians in Malaysia are hindus. The numbers are pretty stable over here. We do
not get any hinderance from the Government or the Muslim Majority. In fact, we do get good support
from the Government to exist although the crazy chinese Christians are on the go to convert Hindus
with alot of false promises. This happens elsewhere as well. Yes we are mostly saivites. In Malaysia we
have a the Malaysia Hindu Sangam which has branches all over the country.
