Historic day.

18 October 2010 the Dome (kubah) and the mini Dome at the Minaret of the New Mosque was installed. The day started at about 0900 hrs where Imam Jaafar recited the “doa selamat” and followed with a small reception. Though I was personally invited by the Site Engineer I beg to decline due to certain circumstances.

One 160 tonner crane was mobilized to carry up the 2.8 ton Dome. This crane was required due to the extensions as the Dome was place at the courtyard. The Dome was in place at 1425 hours.

Comment.

Weather was fine all the way even though it was raining heavily just before subuh. With the installation of the Domes the under construction structure truly portrayed a Mosque and make all passerby head turn. I am really proud of it and it would be a landmark of Port Klang and Kampong Raja Uda in general. The sweat, the pain and the obstacles of the former New Mosque Development Committee slowly paid off. I remember how difficult it was to acquire the land, the landfill and the collection of funds. I thank the Main Contractor Kompass Bina, the Site Engineers, the Dome Contractor and all those involved for the hard work they rendered during the installation. It was not an easy job as precision and safety was the call of the day. Well done everybody, only Allah can pay you off.

Job Done.

The evening sun glitters the Domes.
