Last Prayer.

Jemaah waiting for azan asar.

Asar prayer.

Asar prayer completed.(note the missing Mimbar).

Tahlil led by Imam Haji Khairuddin.

The Muslimah that presence.

The last prayer at the Old Mosque was solat asar on 14 June 2012. Bilal on duty was Haji Rahman and the prayer was led by Imam 1, Tuan Haji Khairuddin.

Presence: ADUN of Port Klang, Chairman of JKKK (P), Chairman of KRU Muslim Association, 2003 – 2009 Nazir and all the four (4) Mosque Imam. BUT where is the fatso Ketua Kampong? 

The newly appointed Nazir delivered the welcoming speech and he was surprise of the overwhelming jemaah that came for the historic occasion. He hopes with the moving to the New Mosque with the new set of Committee, the New Mosque would be more professionally managed and in good order. Perhaps he realized what actually transpired during the tenure of 2009 – 2012. He agreed that there were plenty of nostalgic memories at the Old Mosque, sweet and painful. I too, will never forget the disgusting incident during pre Aidilfitri 2009 prayer. The most stunning and the most stupid statement delivered by the Mosque Nazir when he ridiculed the ex Nazir in front of an Aidilfitri congregation. It was the first time ever in my life experienced, booing and shouting came from the congregation in a Mosque. The speech was requested to be terminated immediately before chaotic situation erupted. The Day of joy resisting Satan in the month of Ramadan was spoilt by a Satanic Statement.   

After the asar prayer, the Imam conducted the tahlil arwah, in memory of the Kampong jemaah and kariah that have gone back to Almighty Allah. Al Fatihah.

The program ended with a small feast sponsored by Tuan Haji Mat Jebah.(ex Imam). 

Personally, I started frequenting the Old Mosque since August 1977 when I moved in to the community and I got even closer since 1984 when I bought a house 100 meters away from the Mosque. My acquaintances then who had passed away was Ustaz Hashim, Haji Zainuddin, Haji Yusuf Daging, Haji Baharom, Haji Kasim, Haji Basir, Haji Ibrahim Libya, YM Raja Sadin, Encik Darus, Abang Pin, Haji Paklong Jantan, Abang Leman, Haji Pak Awang, Haji Jawal and Haji Said. I used to laugh when late Pak Haji Baharom played prank by hiding Pak Haji Kasim’s bicycle and the poor old man would frantically searching for it. Small kid presence in the Mosque dare not make noise as Pak Haji Kasim without any warning would grab their balls. I created history in the Kampong on Maal Hijrah day in 1984 when I held a house warming khenduri immediately after the subuh prayer where no one in the Kampong had ever done so. Late Ustaz Hashim was the Imam. The cliques that are still around today are Bilal Haji Ismail, Sabirin and Imam Haji Mat Jebah.  

I enjoyed that era as we were all one and PAS was not heard or did not exist to be exact. Unlike today, party radicals tend to control the management of the Mosque and divide the Jemaah. They think there are more Islamic than the others.
