KUALA LUMPUR: It is alright to build big buildings for religious rituals, but do not build them to compete with each other, says Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

He said that one should not compare whose building or monument for religious worship was bigger and create a competition to build bigger and taller places of worship.
