Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee permitted a temporary Friday prayer to be held at the battalion surau in its meeting on 5 November 2003. The reasons given were that Sungai Ara Mosque could no longer accommodate the very large congregation and that the camp's security needed to be protected from parties seeking to exploit the situation. Another reason was the expected increase in camp residents by June 2004 due to the relocation of the 2 Division Camp from Batu Feringghi, along with population growth in the surrounding area.
