Muis plans to raise $2m for Punggol's 1st mosque

THE Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) has announced plans to raise funds for the nation's newest and most expensive mosque.

To cost $15 million, the Punggol mosque will sit at the junction of Punggol Place and Punggol Field, near the area's MRT station, and be up by 2014.

The site, about the size of 10 tennis courts, will serve a congregation of 4,000 worshippers. It will be the first mosque in the Punggol area.

The $1.5 million to $2 million is for the mosque's interior furnishings. Construction costs are funded separately by the Mosque Building and Mendaki Fund.
