Since its establishment in 2015 until now, the Mosque Construction Fund has collected almost twenty nine million dollars. The Minister of Religious Affairs shared this in reply to a query on mosque construction raised by Yang Berhormat Awang Haji Salleh Bostaman bin Haji Zainal Abidin.
The Minister said, to date two mosques have been built with money from the fund. During a previous session, the Minister indicated the actual plan was for 15 to 16 mosques, citing five years planning to build 4, and taking into account a mosque at that time cost between 3.5 to $4 million. Hence, four mosques could be built using five years worth of collections from the fund.
