Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee on 16 October 2008 approved the proposal to demolish and rebuild this mosque. The new building plan must sit on the existing site or a larger one, including the 4-foot strip within the road reserve. Use of the mosque is suspended temporarily once the project begins, with obligatory and Friday prayers held in a temporary building. The relocation of three graves was approved, with a recommendation to move them to the nearest public cemetery.
