Kuala Lumpur City Hall has dismantled a religious outreach tent for blocking a public footpath, stating all actions were lawful and professional.

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has removed a tent and materials belonging to the Multiracial Reverted Muslims (MRM) group from Jalan Bukit Bintang.

The enforcement action was taken after the structure was found obstructing a pedestrian walkway in front of the Yayasan Selangor Building.

In a statement, DBKL clarified that the action was carried out in full accordance with the law. The authority stated it does not prevent religious outreach in public spaces provided activities comply with procedures and regulations.

Officers attended the site to seek clarification from the involved parties. However, after waiting over 30 minutes, no representatives came forward to cooperate or provide an explanation.

Consequently, DBKL removed the tent and relocated the materials for storage. The responsible parties remained absent throughout the enforcement action.

“DBKL wishes to emphasise that all enforcement actions are carried out professionally, responsibly, and in accordance with the law,” the statement read. It added that such enforcement is essential to ensure public safety, maintain urban order, and keep public spaces accessible.

The authority also stated that DBKL management will hold discussions with MRM soon. The aim is to find a long-term solution and prevent similar situations from recurring.

Earlier media reports highlighted that some parties had raised objections and questioned DBKL’s actions against the MRM-organised Street Dakwah stall.
