Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to upgrade the old graves of Kariah Bagan Dalam at its meeting on 20 September 2012. The parish must ensure the soil used is good and not mixed with unsuitable material such as stones and rubbish. Vacant unused areas must be organised systematically, and lorries and bulldozers may not step on or be placed over existing graves. Grave markings must be restored as original, based on the existing headstones.
