Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not allow loan repayments to be made from the Tawaquf Account allocation. The developer was urged to stop sand excavation at the site immediately until approval is obtained from the Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP). Balik Pulau Utama Corporation was also asked to set up a professional valuation body to assess the amount of sand removed or sold, and to return the sale proceeds to MAINPP.
