Ipoh, 21 April - In Ipoh, more than 500 people attended the Vasakhi Open House organised by Sikh National Move-ment (Geraksikh) at St John Am-bulance premises on Saturday. The event, held for the first time, saw Sikhs and other communities gathered in a joyous occasion.

Also present were Perak state executive councillor Datuk G. Rajoo representing Menteri Besar of Perak, Secretary General of MCA and Perak MCA chairman Datuk Ong Ka Chuan, Buntong assemblyman Datuk Yik Phooi Hong.

Geraksikh president Tan Sri G. Darshan Singh said despite being a small community, the local Sikhs managed to pool resources and efforts to celebrate Vasakhi with much pride and religious devotion. “The celebration is also a great opportunity for Malaysians to learn about Sikh culture,” he said.
