KUANTAN: Legal action will be taken by interest groups here against the policy of imposing Jawi script on business signage.

Seni Khat Action Team secretary-general Arun Dorasamy said there were grounds to challenge the legality of the Kuantan Municipal Council imposing the policy and fining businesses for non-compliance.

"There is also contradiction in this as there are now billboards in Kuantan where Jawi is given more prominence than Malay written in the Roman script," he said. The move, initiated by Sekat, the Jawi Teaching Special Committee and local NGOs, would also seek to quash all summonses issued under the policy.

It was reported that MPK had started to issue compound notices to premises that failed to display the Jawi script on their signage.
