Question

Accepted Answer

All Non-Muslim Houses of Worship in Perak Are Permitted to Reopen

All non-Muslim houses of worship within Perak are now permitted to resume operations, provided they adhere to the standard operating procedures (SOPs) established by the National Security Council (NSC). This announcement follows the federal government's approval for such venues to reopen. The state officially registered 528 non-Muslim places of worship as of 2015, and these will now be able to operate under specific guidelines.
State-Level Approval for Non-Muslim Venues

Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu formally announced the state's decision to allow non-Muslim houses of worship to open. This directive is contingent upon strict compliance with the SOPs mandated by the NSC. The state government's decision aligns with broader national guidelines that permit the reopening of religious sites.
Nationwide Reopening of Places of Worship

Nationwide, a total of 5,230 places of worship have received approval to operate. These venues are subject to a capacity limit, allowing only one-third of their usual number of devotees to be present at any given time, with social distancing measures in effect. This nationwide policy aims to balance the need for religious observance with public health precautions.
Adherence to New Standard Operating Procedures

The reopening of these places of worship allows them to operate on their usual scheduled days and times. However, strict adherence to new SOPs is required. These include mandatory temperature checks for all attendees and the use of the MySejahtera application or manual registration to record visitor details.
