Who they are
The Jaffna Tamils residing in Malaysia have their roots in northern Sri Lanka. Historically recognized for their dedication to education and administrative service, they preserve a rich cultural tradition, the Tamil language, and ancestral religious devotions. Even though they are integrated into urban Malaysian society, they remain deeply attached to their family heritage, with few opportunities to hear the gospel.
