The Chief Minister of Selangor, Mohamed Azmin Ali, hopes that the contribution will help them enliven the mosque with various programmes.

“Therefore, after discussion, we agreed to donate a total of RM50,000 to the mosque’s fund,” he said during the People’s Feast at the Kampung Mengkuang Semarak Mosque.
He said that the mosque is an important institution to Muslims and it should be given attention by all.
