On 25 May 2006, the Kudat Town Board sent Chong Kah Kiat a letter ordering him to stop work on the construction of the Goddess of the Sea statue in Kudat, Sabah.
On 7 July 2006, the Mufti of the State of Sabah issued a religious decree (fatwah) that said the construction of any statue or replica of a living thing, either human or animistic, is forbidden (haram) according to the Shariah to prevent any heretic act of worshiping statues. The Mufti then asked that construction of Buddhist statues be stopped to protect the sensitivities of Muslims in Sabah in particular and Muslims in Malaysia in general.
