'Yet to be enforced' claims a hollow excuse, Ng Sze Han must explain restrictive guidelines

Datuk Lawrence Low

NON-MUSLIM representatives within the Selangor state government, particularly DAP executive councillors Ng Sze Han and Ng Suee Lim, must explain why they agreed to and approved guidelines that are clearly detrimental to the development of non-Islamic religions in Selangor.

The Selangor state government recently introduced the 2025 Selangor State Planning Guidelines and Standards for Community Facilities. Paragraph 6 under “KM: 4-3 Places of Worship Other than Islam” states that non-Islamic religious sites are not permitted within commercial zones, while Paragraph 7 further prohibits the conversion of existing buildings into such places of worship.
