Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the relocation of the Islamic cemetery site on Lot 2210, Section 6, Georgetown, Northeast District. The Penang Islamic Religious Council must investigate further whether other graves exist on the site. It must also notify the residents there to move out, since the endower's intention was for the land to serve as a cemetery.
