“The reason for this press conference is to present the right information that this is not finalised, our application is still being considered by APAD,” he said at his office in Komtar. He added that the alignment in front of the mosque in Sungai Nibong was proposed by APAD after the agency scrutinised the state’s proposed alignment.
He said APAD will make the final decision after considering public feedback and if necessary, make any adjustments.

He said it is important to consider the safety of the congregation in the mosque so if the LRT alignment could cause safety issues for worshippers, then it should not be allowed to pass through the mosque area.
