The Selangor State government will be reviewing the guidelines on building of places of worship by the non-Muslims. This was conveyed by the State Exco in charge of the non-muslims places of worship committee, Dr Xavier Jayakumar in a meeting held last week at his office in the state secretariat building.
This indeed a good news as cases of viharas, kovil and churches facing various hindrances in their development plan due to existing guidelines like restrictions on height and number of storeys, usage area for main shrine hall limited to 10,000 sq ft, land allocated under high tension wires and industrial areas etc.
Hopefully a new guidelines that reflect the freedom of religious practice, fairness and justice for all religions will prevail as the intention of our nation's constitution.
