Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Puan Noor Aishah, wife of the late Yusof Ishak, Singapore's first president, have officiated the opening of Masjid Yusof Ishak in Woodlands.
"Masjid Yusof Ishak is truly ours to have. Let's continue his legacy in promoting education, religious and racial harmony," states a post on the Masjid Yusof Ishak Facebook page.
Masjid Yusof Ishak is designed with unique architecture that blends traditional mosque characteristics, with Nusantara (editor's note: Indonesian) heritage. The new landmark in Woodlands will cater to the socio-religious needs of the Muslim community in north Singapore. The mosque will have numerous facilities to cater to the needs of the elderly and more spaces for family prayer. There are a number of community spaces, including a multipurpose hall, conference room, auditorium, seminar rooms as well as a roof terrace.
