00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said today that he will attend the inauguration of the Pecatanah Masjid Madani in Jalan Masjid India,
00:11an area that has sparked controversy over the redevelopment plan of a Hindu temple.
00:17Anwar said he would lay the foundation stone on March 27.
00:22The redevelopment plan of the temple to provide access to the mosque has sparked a reaction from the public,
00:29including lawyers.
00:31Aiman Dazuki, Chairperson of the Jekyll-Treading Act, said the company bought the land in 2012
00:40and got permission in 2021 to start building a mosque there.
00:46He said the company has imposed construction to respect the process of relocating the temple,
00:52rather than agreeing to pay the cost of relocating the temple.
00:57He also said it is impossible to build a mosque without relocating the temple,
01:03because the land is not wide enough to accommodate both.
