Tamils in Malaysia have kept the Tamil language a living one with an active and florishing literary tradiion. They have collected Tamil books and periodicals and stored them in their libraries. Of the estate libraries, only 60% have a proper library, while the same fate is faced by the temples and associations, which have taken the nitiative to collect Tamil materials for the use of the devotees and public. Steps have been taken in Malaysia to survey these establishments and to preserve these collections.
