The Selangor government will withdraw land approvals granted for the construction of non-Muslim houses of worship if the land is not developed within the stipulated period.
Selangor Local Government and Tourism Committee chairman Datuk Ng Suee Lim said that land approvals that are withdrawn would be given to other parties in need.
"The Selangor Non-Islamic Houses of Worship Committee has approved 400 land plots for non-Muslim houses of worship since 2008.
"If we allocate land for them to build a house of worship and no construction work is carried out within five years, we will apply (for forfeiture) to take back the land," he said at the Selangor State Assembly sitting today.

He was replying to a supplementary question from Lwi Kian Keong (PH-Sungai Pelek), who asked about the development period for a non-Muslim house of worship after its application is approved.
