Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee permitted the reacquisition of 5000 square feet of waqf land for public purposes. It considered the compensation rate of RM14.00 per square foot unreasonable against current valuation. It proposed that the Penang Islamic Religious Council ask the Valuation and Property Services Department to review a fair rate for the site.
