TWENTY-NINE-YEAR-OLD Iswarin Ashana made a special point to go to the Great Mosque of Malang, East Java, for Eid prayers.

“There is actually a mosque near my in-laws house, but I wanted to experience the atmosphere of praying together in the yard of the church that went viral on social media,” she said on Wednesday.
