  • Tempat aku solat jumaat
  • its a mosque, the artistic value in it a absolutely superb but, .. the surrounding suck.. they built a super giant roundabout at the middle (which basically eats away the parking space usually for jumaat prayer) - and the roundabout is now evidently for people to hang around, unmarried couples to start their fantasy love stories, for people to ride bikes... during jumaat prayer, muslims would normally would have to park like 1km away from the mosque and walk all the way through the roundabout to get to the mosque.. hello government + architects = mosque is for prayers, its for religious occasions. NOT as a tourist spot.
  • Mereka kata kununnya memperjuangkan agama, tetapi .. apanama..mereka yang mempergunakan agama untuk kepentingan politik mereka...
  • Design dia memang cantik.
  • designed to replicate a mosque in iraq.....not sure whether it still exist till now...a nice expensive background for visitors....wondered why they couldnt expand this mosque instead of building a new "Steal Mosque just 1-2 km's apart" overall, beautiful mosque.....
