Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to consider the application to relocate old graves in a road reserve into the grounds of the Tok Lanang Muslim Cemetery. The decision does not give a final ruling on the relocation itself. Further investigation is required by the North Seberang Perai (Butterworth) District Religious Office and the Public Works Department to confirm the original land status with the Penang Land and Mines Office.
