Pak Lah makes historic visit to Buddhist temple
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi became only the second Prime Minister to celebrate Wesak Day at the 113-year-old Buddhist Maha Vihara in Brickfields.

Yesterday, Chief High Priest of Malaysia, the Most Venerable K. Sri Dhammaratana, called it a historic moment for the temple, as it had been a long time since the country's first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman visited the temple in 1967.
Abdullah's presence was confirmed only at the last minute as he had just finished a meeting with the MSC International Advisory Panel.
