Loud speakers of the mosques in Malaysia

 

Much arguments were in the past and now is too. 

The loud speakers are for the God or for the fun of sound.

As too many people do not know how the Perlis state has gone.

The AI said:

Perlis began enforcing the restriction on external mosque loudspeakers—requiring that all broadcasts except the azan (call to prayer) and iqamah be kept indoors—in 2007. [1, 2]

The timeline of this regulation includes:

April 30, 2007: The Perlis Fatwa Council officially brought up and decided on the matter, stipulating that mosques and suraus should not blast Quranic recitations, lectures, or prayers through external loudspeakers. [1, 2, 3]
July 25, 2007: The decision was formally approved and passed into the state's mosque guidelines during a meeting chaired by the Tuanku Raja Muda of Perlis. [1, 2]

Under these rules, microphones and external loudspeakers are strictly reserved for the azan to prevent disturbing the public, while all other activities (like sermons, zikir, and prayers) must utilize the internal sound systems inside the mosque.

Nothing much to say about Nas post in Facebook.

Singapore did it way ahead.

Yes, most mosques in Singapore must have their loudspeakers turned inward. [1, 2]

This practice is part of an urban sound management policy introduced during Singapore's rapid urbanization in the 1970s. To accommodate high-density, multi-faith residential areas, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) and the government established regulations to manage the volume of the azan (call to prayer). [1, 2, 3]

Key Rules on Mosque Loudspeakers in Singapore

Inward-Facing Speakers: Amplifiers and loudspeakers are directed toward the interior or immediate courtyard of the mosque compounds rather than outward into public spaces. [1]
Volume Attenuators: Mosques are required to install sound attenuators to strictly regulate and lower decibel levels, ensuring the broadcast remains confined to the immediate vicinity. [1, 2, 3]
The Historic Exception: Masjid Sultan (Sultan Mosque) in Kampong Glam is the only mosque in Singapore permitted to use outward-facing loudspeakers for the azan, owing to its unique status as a preserved national monument. [1, 2]
Radio Broadcast Alternative: To support practicing Muslims without increasing public noise, the full azan is broadcast nationally five times a day over local Malay-language radio stations
