It will be interesting to see how non-Muslims fare there. From [1] The Star Online, with thanks to Twostellas:
KOTA BARU: The PAS-led state government is set to declare Kota Baru as an “Islamic City” next year and turn the state capital into a model of Islamic management.Several large banners proclaiming “Kota Baru Bandaraya Islam 2005” (Kota Baru Islamic City 2005) have been hung up here.
Takiyuddin Hassan, the chairman of the State Public Administration, Local Government and Housing Committee, said Islamic management would be introduced by the Kota Baru Municipal Council (MPKB) by March.
