The Metropolitan Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur’s communication and media relations officer Patricia Pereira said these are the Church of St John Vianney in Tampin, Negri Sembilan; the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Cameron Highlands, Pahang and the Catholic Mission in Kuala Terengganu. She added this will take effect from June 10, 2020. The archdiocese will also resubmit a fresh list of churches to the authorities since the first one was rejected — except for the three approved — due to zoning and incomplete data.
