Mall project to go on, says Kedah MB

ALOR SETAR: The Kedah Government will go ahead with the RM500mil Aman Central Mall project even if the court decides to stop the demolition of the nearby Madrasah Salihiah surau.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak said if the Alor Setar High Court decided in favour of the surau committee, the state government would leave it untouched but would still go ahead with the planned mall project at Lebuhraya Darulaman.

The committee filed a writ of summons on Jan 9 to stop the demolition of the century-old surau. The court is scheduled to hear the case on Feb 6.

“If the court decides against the demolition, let it be. We will stick to our original plan to have a surau at the ground floor of the mall,” Azizan said after distributing Chinese New Year goodies here yesterday.

He said the 4,800 sq ft mall surau, with separate entry and exit points, would be able to fit up to 400 people.

Azizan said the Kedah Islamic Affairs Council (Maik) had identified six alternative locations for the Madrasah Salihiah, not far from the current site, if the surau was demolished.

He said the locations included Jalan Lumpur, less than 10km from the current spot.

“There are about 80 houses occupied by Muslims in the area and a new surau would benefit them,” he said.

The wakaf land where the surau is located is part of a 2.8ha plot acquired by the state for the development of Aman Central Mall which is scheduled for completion in 2014.
