KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, June 10, 2002: Sixty-eight young males and one-hundred and seventy-four females looking for a marriage partner participated in the Malaysia Hindu Sangam’s matchmaking event on June 10th. To take part in the event, participants paid RM 20 each which allowed them to look at photographs of potential life partners. A male pharmacist from Penak successfully met a female systems technician from Serebam. The pair were comfortable with each other and have asked their families to make follow-up arrangements. A thirty-eight year old auditor, who was disillusioned about marriage, was able to find a thirty-two year old bank teller. President of the Hindu Sangam, A. Vaithiligam, said, ” The event was held following the success of the first Suyamvaran in 1989 when 10 out of 12 men found life partners.”
