KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 9 — His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, today expressed his consent to donate a mosque for residents in the Batu Muda area here.
In a post on the Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar Facebook page, His Majesty said the two-acre site for the mosque, which has received royal approval, is located around the Batu Muda People’s Housing Project (PPR).
“I have long wished to provide a mosque for residents in Kuala Lumpur, and after discussions with the Mayor, today, on this blessed Friday, this wish can be realised.
