Continuing from Jetty to the tomb of Sultan Abdul Malik Mansur Shah.
In order to get to the tomb from the jetty one has to pass by this abandoned building.
It is an old mosque which was last used in 1997 if not mistaken.
I have been here a number of times but this was my first time in more than 5 years or so.
It used to be in much better condition...
I was told that a certain group of art activists wanted to preserve it by removing the mosque to a university in Kuala Lumpur where it should be better taken care of.
You see, the area around here is prone to flood. So after some time the populace decided to move to better grounds quite a distance from here leaving the mosque unattended.
I just hope the plan to preserve it in KL would happen soon.
For it would be a shame to see this old mosque rot and wither away...
