Bukit bintang: Muslims around Bukit Bintang will be able to perform their Friday prayers at the Bukit Bintang Outreach Oasis starting tomorrow, following a special approval granted for this purpose.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), Dr. Zulkifli Hassan, shared in a Facebook post that this facility is being provided temporarily until a permanent Friday surau (prayer hall) at the location is fully constructed.

Dr. Zulkifli expressed that history is set to be made in Bukit Bintang, as the temporary arrangement allows the community to fulfill their religious obligation without facing the usual challenges of traveling far or rushing through crowds. He emphasized the importance of the occasion and encouraged the local Muslim community to participate.

He also invited Muslims, especially those from the Bukit Bintang community, to attend and support the Friday prayers at the location. Dr. Zulkifli highlighted the significance of Friday as a day of blessings and urged the community to come together in a show of solidarity and support for Islamic practices.

The government had previously announced efforts to establish a comfortable Friday surau in Bukit Bintang to facilitate Muslims in performing their acts of worship in the popular tourist hotspot.
