The Penang Hindu Endowment Board (PHEB) is hoping to see similar institutions like it expand to other states with sizeable Indian populations, as promised in Pakatan Harapan's election manifesto, Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy said.

According to its website, PHEB is a "statutory board as set out in the Hindu Endowments Act in 1906, it's main role is to administer the endowments placed under its administration".

Ramasamy, who is also chair of the PHEB, said the board was probably looking to expanding its wings to Kedah, Perak, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Johor and Pahang...
