ALOR SETAR: The Kedah government will replace the Madrasah Salihiah surau at Jalan Tambang Badak with a bigger surau to be built in a RM500mil shopping mall.

Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak said the new surau will be located on the ground floor of the upcoming Aman Central Mall after thewakaf land where the Madrasah Salihiah surau is sited was acquired for the project.

“The new surau will be able to accommodate about 400 people. The mall to be built on the 2.84ha plot of wakaf land is expected to be completed by 2014.

“The state government has paid RM1.48mil to the state Islamic Religious Council (MAIK) for the surau and the wakaf land,” he said when met after the mall’s ground breaking ceremony yesterday.

Azizan said MAIK is the caretaker of the land, adding that if they wish to build another surau at a new location, they could do so using the money paid to them.

“The decision to build the surau at the mall was approved by the state Fatwa Council and MAIK requested that the surau be built on the ground floor with a separate entrance.

“Based on a recent study by the Kedah Development Board, the Madrasah Salihiah surau is used only by a handful of people from the nearby offices,” he said.

Earlier in his speech, Azizan said the Aman Central project was planned in 2009 but could not take off early as it involved the acquisition of the abandoned Plaza Tunku Yaaakob building and the wakaf land.
