Mosques nationwide to be turned into community centres

PUTRAJAYA: Mosques nationwide will be turned into one-stop centres where Muslims can go, not only to worship and deepen their knowledge on Islam, but also seek advice and counselling from family and religious experts in times of trouble.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said one-stop centres in mosques would also be equipped with libraries, computer facilities, classes for adults and children as well as shelter or temporary accommodation for travellers.
