A TASK rotation system for non-Muslim police officers to replace their Muslim counterparts while they break fast and perform maghrib prayers has been implemented at the southwest district in Penang, says Supt A. Anbalagan.

The Balik Pulau OCPD said the system was initiated so that Muslim police personnel could break fast comfortably while carrying out their duties at the roadblocks.
