A new ruling requires committees of places of worship in Kuala Lumpur to prove that they own the land or premises when applying for allocations under the Prime Minister’s Office.

Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng said the move by the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU) was a drawback for religious houses as many operators of such places were not owners of the land or premises.
