JOHOR BARU: Muslim graves would be relocated to make way for the construction of the RM60 billion Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Complex (Rapid) project in Pengerang.

A statement issued by the office of Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman here today, said the new site of the graves has 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 Programme (ETP).   
 
It is expected to draw a follow up investment of RM100 billion into the country's oil and gas industry.
