Prasarana (facilities) at mosques located at 14 night market sites in Kangar, Kedah, will be improved to support the 'Berhenti Dulu Kita Solat' (Pause for Prayer) program. While most night markets managed by the Kangar Municipal Council (MPK) already have mosques, some facilities are not yet complete. The program, launched on Sept 15 last year, encourages Muslim traders at night markets to temporarily halt their businesses during Maghrib (sunset) prayers. Operation is paused for 20 minutes, including 10 minutes before Maghrib, to allow traders and visitors to pray comfortably. MPK President Affendi Rajini Kanth reported positive compliance among traders at night markets in the state to temporarily halt their businesses during Maghrib prayers, with most male traders choosing to pray.
KANGAR : Prasarana surau di 14 lokasi tapak pasar malam sekitar negeri ini yang berada bawah kendalian Majlis Perbandaran Kangar akan diperkemaskan dalam menyemarakkan program ‘Berhenti Dulu Kita Solat’.
“Kita belum bersedia dengan prasarana lagi. Selepas ini, kita akan bergerak ke arah itu namun kebanyakan pasar malam MPK ada kemudahan surau,” katanya selepas Sesi Walkabout di Pasar Malam Kangar, di sini, semalam. Menerusi program itu, peniaga pasar malam beragama Islam di negeri ini disaran menghentikan seketika operasi perniagaan mereka pada waktu Maghrib bagi memberi laluan untuk menunaikan solat.
Sementara itu, Yang Dipertua MPK, Affendi Rajini Kanth berkata, pematuhan peniaga-peniaga di tapak pasar malam sekitar negeri ini untuk menghentikan sementara operasi perniagaan ketika waktu Maghrib menunjukkan perkembangan positif sejak mula dilaksanakan.
