Bringing the family to Raja Haji mosque in Cyberjaya

Referring to the article Looking for Lubuk Terua. This is what happened during the following day...


After looking for traces of history at Lubuk Terua we returned home to Rawang, Selangor. Sunday afternoon 29th May 2016 we attended a function in Bukit Jalil in the Klang Valley then visited a sick relative in Puchong. As it was already close to Putrajaya we decided to pay a visit. On the way we made an instinctive detour to Cyberjaya where lies this mosque.


It is Masjid (mosque of) Raja Haji Fi Sabilillah, named after a famous 18th century Bugis-Malay warrior and royalty.


It was the 3rd time I came here, 1st time bringing the wife and kids along.


Entering the mosque...








Meditating after conducting prayers right at the centre of the main praying hall.


Coming out of the hall I noticed something about the minaret outside...


Ah. The door was unlocked.


There was an urge to climb up. After all I've climbed up many minarets at many mosques, a few of them more difficult and dangerous then this. But this time I don't feel fit and properly dressed. So had to forego for another time, God willing...
