Two enhancement launches have been held for two Singapore mosques as part of the Mosque Upgrading Programme (MUP), the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) has announced.
The 112-year-old Haji Muhammad Salleh Mosque along Palmer Road in the central business district used to be part of Kampung Sambau, a Malay fishing village. Today, it serves office workers in Shenton Way. Improvements works are aimed at improving accessibility and convenience; the mosque will reopen by 2H16.
Darul Ghufran Mosque in Tampines, one of the largest mosques in east Singapore, was opened in 1990. The MUP will allow the mosque to host 1,500 more congregants to accommodate a total of 5,500, and add a basement, fourth storey and roof terrace.
