10 Apr 2021 / 16:33 H. KUALA LUMPUR: The Sikh community has contributed to the development of Malaysia, from the modest beginnings of their forebears in the security forces to many other fields. The Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah ( pix) said although the Sikh community has only ever been a tiny proportion of the population - accounting for around two and a half per cent today - they have always stood out and made their presence known. He said the Sikh reputation for courage, loyalty and discipline led to their dominance of the early police and paramilitary forces that were established in Perak.
