Wayspot Removal for School (K-12)

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: Sri Maha Mariamman Devasthanam

  • Location (lat/lon): 5.3309730, 100.4778650

  • City: Bukit mertajam, Penang

  • Country: Malaysia

  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):

  • Additional Information (if any):

The Indian temple is located on the same land
of (or attached to) an elementary school (primary school) and will be removed as the school bought the land of the Indian temple for expansion

The first phase of construction started as picture shown. The Indian temple will be removed during phase 2.

Hi m, it’s been more than a week for this appeal and nothing is updated.

Is there any additional information needed to remove this wayspot?

Could you please provide any evidence confirming that the school has bought the land of this temple?

Hi,
I don’t really have the proper document saying the land is being bought, but there are few information could be useful:

  1. The link below saying the school is doing the fundraising activity for exploiting the land and building the new hall and classrooms
    Carlsberg 2023十大义演 1210为新亚学校筹建校基金光华日报 | 1910年创刊 创新每一天生活

  2. The notice board is being built in the empty land saying this land would be used to build the school hall

Apart from that, based on the Wayfarer Criteria, School K-12,
I thought that “anything nearby or attach to the school area which have the student of age 18 and below” is not eligible to become the wayspot. But not sure why this Indian temple which is being built next to the school can be approved at the first place.

Please correct me if I misunderstand the criteria “School K-12”.

Thanks

This is also the article of Facebook saying it would be used to built the hall :

Thanks for the appeal, @Victor0427. We took another look at the Wayspot in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
