Johor bahru: His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, was briefed today on the latest progress report regarding the construction of Masjid Tunku Laksamana Abdul Jalil. The mosque is being built using funds left by His Majesty's son, the late Tunku Laksamana of Johor, Tunku Abdul Jalil Sultan Ibrahim, who passed away on December 5, 2015.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the mosque, being constructed on Jalan Kolam Air near Istana Bukit Serene, will have the capacity to accommodate nearly 1,000 congregants at any one time. This development is closely followed by Sultan Ibrahim, reflecting the significant legacy of his late son.

Earlier, Sultan Ibrahim granted an audience to Johor Mufti Datuk Yahya Ahmad at Istana Pasir Pelangi. Also present were Johor Islamic Religious Council chief executive officer Mohd Radzi Mohd Amin, state Islamic Religious Department director Nasri Ali, and Johor State Public Works Department director Zainal Tumian. Their presence underscores the collaborative efforts towards the successful completion of the mosque project.
