Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee raised no objection and agreed to the proposal to relocate the graves. The permission is based on necessity. The authorities must first establish the number of marked and unmarked graves, consider villagers' views if they say there are more than 32 graves, and use workers experienced and skilled in exhumation and relocation. All costs are borne by Syarikat Tekad Sentosa Sdn Bhd.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tiada apa-apa halangan dan bersetuju di atas cadangan untuk pemindahan kubur-kubur tersebut.
