Can a developer be exempted from surrendering a surau site and paying a financial contribution for a surau building in a housing project at Jalan Sungai Batu, Balik Pulau?
Short answer
The Penang State Fatwa Committee rejected the exemption application for the surau submitted by the developer, Kota Wira Indah Sdn Bhd. The developer must instead contribute according to the current value of the site price and the building price as compensation.
