KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia government announced that it would be relocating Muslim graves in Pengerang in order to allow the construction of a RM60 billion Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Complex (Rapid) project. The office of Abdul Ghani Othman of Rapid said in a statement that the new site of the graves has already been identified. “Although the new site has been identified, the relocation has not commenced and we're still in discussions with the local Muslim community,” it added. The Rapid project by national oil and gas corporation, Petronas, is part of the government's Economic Transformation Program (ETP). According to Bernama news agency, the project is expected to draw a “follow up investment of RM100 billion into the country's oil and gas industry.”
