Reciting prayers on commercial flight take-offs among proposals, says Perikatan MP


KUALA LUMPUR: An opposition MP has proposed reciting a prayer before a commercial flight take-offs as part of the efforts to make airlines more syariah friendly.

Shaharizukirnain Abdul Kadir (PN-Setiu) said while the transport ministry had welcomed the idea of shariah-compliant flights, it however remained as a proposal and airlines were not obligated to implement it.
