Kelantan prohibits loud noise and entertainment on Thursday nights in order to promote Muslim acts of worship.

The state of Kelantan has prohibited the holding of any kind of entertainment or the making of loud noises on Thursday night.

Hilmi Abdullah, the chairman of the State Local Government, Housing, Health, and Environment Committee, stated that the 1998 Control of Entertainment and Places of Entertainment Enactment contains the prohibition.

Following today’s state executive council meeting, he told reporters, “The ban is apt, to encourage Muslims to increase their acts of worship from Thursday after the Asar prayer until Friday evening.”

He said that the ban will be put into effect due to multiple instances of quarters breaking the law, the most recent of which involved an event organizer testing the public address system at a location close to a mosque in this area.
