Summary

The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application by Golden Village Properties Sdn. Bhd. to relocate the graves on the lot. The developer must bear the relocation cost. A study must be carried out with the USM Archaeology Department since other graves may exist nearby, and any found must be moved together with the two graves already identified.
