Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the demolition and reconstruction of Masjid Jamek Kota Aur. The grounds were that the existing mosque can no longer accommodate worshippers and needs enlarging, that the JKR report gave a reasonable basis, and that funds for the new building were available. The new mosque must be built on the original site together with part of Lot 2654, acquired by the state government on 19 July 2006, and the construction plan must first be submitted to the committee.
