We are happy to report that many mosques are being upgraded and new mosques being built to meet the needs of the community.
Five more mosques are being upgraded this year. They include En-Naeem, Sultan, Sallim Mattar, Al-Khair and Al-Falah Mosques. Al-Ansar Mosque in Bedok is due to be re-opened in April.
Al-Islah Mosque in Punggol is scheduled for completion before Ramadan this year. Yusof Ishak Mosque in Woodlands and Maarof Mosque in Jurong West should be completed in 2016.
As Tampines expands, a new mosque will be built in Tampines North in the next few years to serve new residents there and neighbouring Pasir Ris, as well as industrial estates in both areas. We will also upgrade Darul Ghufran Mosque in 2016 to provide 1,000 more prayer spaces and expanded Islamic learning facilities.
