The Central Council met on January 21, 2005. After hearing the explanation from him, the Council unanimously accepted the decision to resign. The meeting also decided that the MHS will withdraw from the MCCBCHS if the Christian partners do not respect the existence of the Hindu Community in Malaysia.

The Malaysia Hindu Sangam will soon be meeting the Buddhist and Sikh partners to explain his stand. The Taoists leaders will also be meeting the MHS leaders soon on this issue."
