Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to postpone relocating the two burial sites on the lot to the public cemetery at Masjid Sungai Nibong Besar. Further detailed investigation is required on the position of the graves and the existence of the first land grant, namely whether the burials existed before the first grant or the other way around. The findings are to be presented and discussed at a future meeting.
