Based on information from the brochure I was off to Masjid Negara. Arriving at the State Mosque, I was getting ready to admire the architecture or grandeur, but what power, I see it as ordinary mosque, I can even say this State Mosque and the magnificent big defeat when compared to such Istiqlal mosque in Jakarta or even a mosque Son in Putrajaya.

Curious, then when he got home I ‘google’ this State Mosque, with the hope to find a Story interesting hiStory of the State Mosque, but the data I get from googling is not so attractive, such that the mosque was founded in 1965, and that the mosque It can accommodate about 15,000 people, that’s it!

Then my eyes wander far down the road a mosque where several tourist bus close to the road and down hundreds of Arab tourists. They seem eager to make movies and picture-ria photos with the background there is also a mosque and many of those who tried to pray inside. Once again I am impressed with tourism in Malaysia, the mosque was mediocre as the State Mosque could be one of tourism object if the well though. In fact they also have a special schedule a special visit to the mosque to non-Muslims!

At the end of a hot day, I finally found something interesting also from this mosque, which is a warning sign written large that reads’ Beware of Thieves sandals! ” or watchful thief shoes. Not proved much different from the Indonesia behavior! Only if in Indonesia is still in sandals , here seems a little prestige, sandals or shoes that diincer!

To go here you use Putra LRT train and stop at Pasar Seni station, from there you can walk, but quite a lot! If you come here you can all the old railway station at Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, just opposite the State Mosque.
