The prayer hall and both right and left foyer was packed with Jemaah from the kampong as well as from the neighboring kampong. They all came to see the New Mosque and be part of history. Its not often that one get to pray at the first inaugurated Mosque.

Total donations collected was about RM 2800. The funny part, when the money was counted, a Spy was presence. He was not a Committee member of the Mosque and he had no business to be presence. Maybe he was sent to ensure it was properly counted or to feedback to his Political Party comrade the amount collected. Trust me, the Committee Members selected by the kariah are professional people, unlike the Unit Amal type who goes round collecting donations at Ceramahs but at the end of the day, the total amount is not accounted.

To rejoice the occasion after a successful solat Jumaat in the New Mosque, we adjourned for a drink at the nearest Restaurant.
