Kelantan bans entertainment, loud noise on Thursday evenings


KOTA BARU: The Kelantan government has banned all forms of entertainment from being held or loud noise from being heard in the state on Thursday evening.

State Local Government, Housing, Health and Environment Committee chairman Hilmi Abdullah said the ban is provided in the 1998 Control of Entertainment and Places of Entertainment Enactment.

"The ban is apt to encourage Muslims to increase their acts of worship from Thursday after the Asar prayer until Friday evening," he told reporters after the state executive council meeting on Wednesday (July 24).

He said the ban would be enforced because of several cases of quarters breaching regulations, the recent one involving an event organiser testing the public address system at a premises near a mosque here. – Bernama
