A short ceremony to hand over the donation contributions to help build a mosque for Kg. Manggis was held on the night of June 16th 2009 at the house of the Village Head of Kg. Manggis Mejar(B) Pengiran Hj Idros bin Pengiran Haji Mahmud in Kg. Manggis.

A sum amount of BND$1,783 was contributed from the LSCB as part of the objectives to help the community in the country . The amount was 100% collected from the collection at the Ten-Pin Reds bowling championship that was held on May 16th, the selling of LSCB Wristband and several sincere donations by the Members of LSCB. The donation was handed by the Vice President of LSCB Emmy Shamdy  Kadir.

According to the Manggis’s Village Head, the plan to build the mosque started around 15 years ago. Starting from that, they started to collect funds for the purpose of building the mosque.  The Mosque that was to be built upon land covering 4.3 acres would cost around BND$5,000,000. Sadly, the effort put into the building of the mosque since 15 years ago were put on hold due to several difficulties.

Also, according to him, since he took over as the Village Head, he had to reorganised the committees for the mosque construction project and had to take over the financial section. The work on the banking the land has been started 6 months ago. So far, the amount of donations that had been received from members of the public reaches up to BND$200,000. The project was also initiated  in the government’s National Development Plan.

The 3110 square metres mosque has the capacity to house 2400 people and if they received more funds, it is expected to be completed in the year 2011.

He also hoped that more contributions from the public to facilitates parking lots, carpets, air-conditions and so forth for the convenience of the attendees of the mosque. He was also hoping that with the completion of the mosque, villagers of Kg. Manggis can come together and pray and perform village activities in their own mosque. Let’s hope that the effort and contributions of LSCB and its members has in some way, big or small, has helped to lighten the burden in constructing the mosque.
