Malaysia’s Penang Offered Help to Dispose of Damaged Quran Copies

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Malaysia’s Terengganu government has offered to help the state of Penang’s religious authorities dispose of copies of the Quran that were damaged in recent floods.

State Communications, Multimedia and Special Duties Committee chairman Ghazali Taib said this would be carried out free of charge by experts from the Terengganu Islamic Religious Department.

"Whenever there are big floods, mosques and religious study centers are affected. There will be copies of the Quran that are damaged,” he told reporters after attending a program where cubes containing ashes from copies of the Quran were disposed of in the waters off Pulau Kapas on Tuesday.

"We are willing to help (the Penang government) carry out the disposal process for free. They only have to pay the transportation costs.”
