Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee agreed to the application to relocate graves in two old cemetery areas within the KTMB railway reserve for the electrified track project. The permission is based on necessity. The responsible parties must establish the number of marked and unmarked graves, consider villagers' views if they say there are more than 70 graves, and use workers experienced and skilled in exhumation and reburial. All costs are borne by the applicant.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
