School given orders to close for not meeting requirements

KUALA PILAH: A madrasah (religious school) here has been ordered to close by the state Islamic Affairs Department (JHEAINS) after it was found that it was not registered with the department to run such a school.

JHEAINS director Mohd Asri Abdullah said the school, which is believed to be linked to an organisation dealing with Islamic products and currently under investigation, failed to comply with Section 25c of the Control of Islamic Religious Schools Enactment 1996 (Negri Sembilan).
