Don’t build non-Muslim houses of worship near mosques, says PN MP
Kuala Langat MP Ahmad Yunus Hairi says this is to maintain harmony with those living in the area.
Kuala Langat MP Ahmad Yunus Hairi said having different houses of worship in the same vicinity could lead to disharmony.

This PN bloke is just stirring up kerbau for political brownie points, though admittedly the three religious houses of worship are in Penang where her people live in peace

KUALA LUMPUR: An opposition MP has urged the government not to build non-Muslim houses of worship in the same vicinity as mosques.
“I’m suggesting to the ministry that the houses of worship should be in different areas. For example, the lot to build a Muslim house of worship should be different from that used to build a non-Muslim house of worship due to sensitivities,” Ahmad Yunus Hairi (PN-Kuala Langat) said while debating the supply bill.
“We want to be harmonious, but we don’t want a situation where these houses of worship are all in the same lots and there is a lot of noise or loudspeakers that will contribute to disharmony and conflict in the area.”
He cited the example of a Hindu temple in Canary Garden, Klang, which is situated near a Malay settlement, and has caused uneasiness and protest from those living in the area.
“I don’t deny that the temple is there to cater to the Hindu community in Kampung Air Hitam, but it is quite far (from where they live).
“Recently, there was a groundbreaking ceremony there which caused anxiety among the Muslim community and I hope that the minister will handle this issue well.”

All that can be concluded is that muslims are very weak in their faith. Perhaps their prophet should have just accepted their allah's first command to pray 50 times a day; not the 5 that is decreed after some negotiation by the prophet. That way, perhaps their faith maybe strengthened.
