GEORGE TOWN, Sept 26 — ‘Mukhannath’ or transgender individuals should change their appearance if they want to be in mosques or surau so that they do not look odd and avoid uncomfortable feelings among other worshippers.
“We are very sympathetic to this group and hope that they are accepted by the general public. However, they should also make an effort to adapt to the culture and norms of regular society,” he said in a statement today. Ahmad Marzuk said Perlis’ decision was appropriate to maintain the sanctity of mosques and avoid confusion among the community.
He also urged State Islamic Religious Departments as well as mosque and surau administrations to play their roles in dealing with the issue.
