Teng Chang Khim bears the wrath of rightists for opposing TRX’s landmark mosque project
DAP veteran Datuk Teng Chang Khim has found himself in the firing line for wanting the proposed construction of the Masjid Warisan (Heritage Mosque) on a site in front of the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) development to be scrapped.
The former Selangor State Legislative Assembly speaker (2008-2013) has raised concern that the proposal would eventually lead to disharmony and dissatisfaction.
“This plan will eventually bring disharmony, resentment and even clash of cultural activities within a precinct which has been established as a vibrant commercial and entertainment hotspot of KL as metropolitan with distinct international outlook,” the six-term DAP state assemblyman penned on his Facebook page.
“Would all the activities within that area have to be halted during the Friday prayer and when azan is broadcast in the near future? Why should we create foreseeable sensitivity when there is currently none? This nonsensical idea must be scrapped.”
Teng was reacting to the revelation by Religious Affairs Minister Zulkifli Hassan that the project which involves a 5.6-acre site opposite TRX is expected to become a new landmark in the Federal capital while reflecting efforts to strengthen Islamic facilities in the Bukit Bintang area.
“Insya-Allah, we want to develop a mosque that is beautiful and outstanding in line with the grandeur of the TRX Tower,” he was quoted as saying after Friday prayers at Oasis Outreach Bukit Bintang, a temporary worship place that opened yesterday (June 19) while permanent facilities are being developed.
The planned mosque will be developed in collaboration with the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and other relevant agencies.
‘More dangerous than Rohingyas’
Teng who is currently the SME Corporation Malaysia (SME Corp) chairman was literally ‘whacked left, right and centre’ when his opinion was aired by Malay language portal MYNEWSHUB in its FB page which has garnered 3.2K likes, 2.8K comments and 1K shares at the time of writing.
“Malaysia is an Islamic country, hence all development and construction of mosques need not follow the lead of the kafir (infidels),” fumed one presumably pro-opposition commenter from Kota Bharu.
Inevitably, the opposition slogan of “Malaysia is peaceful without DAP, period!” once again reverberated across cyberspace.
“They’re (DAP) even more dangerous than the Rohingyas. They were once refugees, too, but have now misbehaved,” another hit out.
One commenter insisted that the proposed project should continue “for this is Tanah Melayu whereby Islam reigns supreme as the official Federal religion”.
Another blamed the situation of “DAP being really steady as we give face and support” with others pointing fingers at Malay bootlickers who are backing the party.
Anger was also directed at Muslim Madani government lawmakers, including Religious Affairs Minister Zulkifli for being tight-lipped when the dignity of Islam is challenged.
“Where is the Madani Religion Minister? Why are you still silent (on the matter) … Or is your mouth, hands and feet bandaged by DAP … That’s why I hate DAP and PH (Pakatan Harapan),” berated one commenter.
Even UMNO was dragged into the commotion for the party’s failure to defend the sanctity of Islam against the “communist kafir“.
In short, one commenter hit the nail on the head by calling for the Masjid Warisan construction to forge ahead “fearlessly as DAP can’t do anything even though it has voiced its opposition on the project”. – June 20, 2026
Here is the usual 3R.Hulubalang war cry gets thrown in their face.
ReplyDeleteThe most common objection to Non-Muslim places of worship , often accepted by authorities, is that it is it is a Muslim majority area and it would hence be disrespectful of Islam and cause tension in the Musli. Community. Basically, Malaysia Madani is fast becoming a nation where ilNons, in a Muslim majority area have .no right to aces of Worship.
TRX is NOT situated in a Muslim majority area, it is a commercial area with very few Muslim residents - what is the pressing requirement for a mosque ?
With that plot of land there we can build a Buddist temple, hindu temple and a church plus 800 car park under it....with a mosque is a disaster because sick agama ajaran sesak cannot build car park under and traffic Chaos there....and there are 50 mosque and surau within 5 km of the spot PLUS THE MOSQUE DON'T HAVE 5000 attendees....REJECT THE DEVELOPMENT DBKL...BUILD CHURCH , HINDU AND BUDDIST TEMPLE THERE....3 FOR 1 is a very good Deal!! Otherwise MALAYSIAL PI MAMPUS.....TUKER NAMA TO BANDUAN EXCHANGE!!...TBX!!
ReplyDeleteWas any land allocated for Gereja or Kuil?
ReplyDelete🚨 HOLY CRAP! DNI Tulsi Gabbard has shocked the deep state by on her last day in office releasing bombshell files that Dr. Fauci used TAX DOLLARS to fund the WUHAN LAB responsible for COVID and millions of deaths
ReplyDeleteAnd he purposefully covered it up.
HE LIED TO CONGRESS! Fauci deserves charges!
Tulsi is a patriot 🇺🇸
“Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.”
“Dr. Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, alongside his hand-picked so-called experts, pushed the intelligence community to endorse a natural animal origin to hide his dangerous gain of function research that he funded using taxpayer dollars.”
“All of this in a deliberate attempt to cover up the truth and shift the blame and attention away from Fauci's own actions.”
“The tactics that were used to hide the truth are straight from the Deep State playbook. Politicized self-serving leaders, like Dr. Fauci, covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected president by restricting his access to the vital facts he needed to keep the country safe.”

Bolehland non-Ishmaels should count themselves lucky that their churches and kuils are not converted to mosques.
ReplyDeleteNot Yet Anyway. Learn What Will Happen Eventually……Given Time, when ethnic cleansing is complete like in Turkey, Syria, parts of Cyprus, Spain……
In many Kristian countries colonized by Ishmaels their churches have been converted. Notable Ones:
1. Hagia Sophia (Istanbul, Turkey)Original Structure: Built as a grand Byzantine Orthodox basilica in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian.Conversion Details: Following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, it was converted into a mosque by Sultan Mehmed II. Minarets were added, and Christian frescoes were plastered over.Current Status: After functioning as a museum for decades, it was reverted to a functioning mosque in 2020.
2. Umayyad Mosque (Damascus, Syria)Original Structure: Originally the site of a Roman temple, it was later converted into the Byzantine Church of St. John the Baptist.Conversion Details: Following the Islamic conquest of Damascus in the 7th and 8th centuries, the site was shared briefly before Umayyad Caliph Al-Walid I fully converted it into a grand mosque.Current Status: It remains one of the oldest and largest mosques in the world.
3. Selimiye Mosque (Nicosia, Cyprus)Original Structure: Built as the Cathedral of Saint Sophia in the 13th and 14th centuries by the Lusignan dynasty.Conversion Details: During the Ottoman conquest of Cyprus in 1570, the cathedral was heavily damaged and subsequently converted into a mosque.Current Status: It operates as the primary mosque in Nicosia, with its distinct twin minarets built over the original cathedral towers.
4. Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba (Córdoba, Spain)Original Structure: Originally the Visigothic church of San Vicente.Conversion Details: Following the Umayyad conquest of Hispania in the 8th century, it was converted into the Great Mosque of Córdoba. It was later reconverted to a Catholic cathedral during the Reconquista in the 13th century.5. Chora Church / Kariye Mosque (Istanbul, Turkey)Original Structure: A medieval Byzantine Greek Orthodox church famous for its highly preserved 14th-century mosaics and frescoes.Conversion Details: Converted into the Kariye Mosque by the Ottomans in the 16th century.Current Status: It operated as a museum before being controversially converted back to an active mosque.
Examples of other places of worship converted to Mosque after Ishmael colonization (but nobody complain today, because Ishmaels are given Free Pass to convert others)
ReplyDelete1. The Temple of Luxor (Egypt)Located in the city of Luxor, the site originated as a grand Ancient Egyptian temple dedicated to the god Amun, dating back to 1400 BCE. After the Islamic conquest of Egypt, parts of the temple complex were repurposed into a place of Islamic worship, notably the Abu Haggag Mosque, which sits atop the ancient structure and remains actively used today.
2. Temple of the Sun / Palmyra (Syria)The ancient oasis city of Palmyra features the monumental Temple of Bel, dedicated to the Mesopotamian god, which was constructed in 32 CE. Following the Islamic conquests, the temple was converted into a mosque, an adaptation that significantly preserved the historic walls and towering columns of the shrine until modern times.
3. Sassanid Fire Temples (Iran)During the Islamic conquest of Persia in the 7th and 8th centuries, numerous Zoroastrian fire temples (chartaqs) were repurposed into mosques. These temples featured four axial arches which made them relatively easy to convert. This was typically done simply by setting a mihrab (prayer niche) in the wall facing the direction of Mecca. Notable cities where this took place include Bukhara (present-day Uzbekistan) and various locations near Istakhr.
4. Conversion of Hindu Temples in South Asia (India)During the medieval period, the expansion of the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire led to the conversion and repurposing of several Hindu temples into mosques.Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque (Delhi): Built in the 12th century by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the mosque was constructed using the spolia (recycled architectural elements) of demolished Hindu and Jain temples.Adina Mosque (West Bengal): Constructed in the 14th century by Sultan Sikandar Shah, the massive mosque incorporated materials and structural elements from preexisting Hindu and Buddhist temples on the site.Bhojshala (Madhya Pradesh): Originally a temple and center of learning (Saraswati temple) constructed by the Paramara dynasty in the 11th century, it was later repurposed into the Kamal Maula Mosque.
The most notable conversion of course is the Isaac Most Holy of Holies, Their Second Temple in Jerusalem, today a Mosque and Dome Sits on Top. Isaacs cannot pray inside, have to Wail and Weep at the Wall outside.
ReplyDeleteSo Kesian.
ReplyDeleteNon-Muslims are strictly prohibited from praying inside the Al-Aqsa compound/Temple Mount. Under the historic Status Quo agreement, only Muslims may worship in the mosques, while Christians and Jews are only permitted to visit the site as tourists during restricted hours.The restriction on non-Muslim prayer stems from several religious, political, and historical factors:
The Waqf Authority: The site is administered by the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf, which manages the compound exclusively as a Muslim shrine. Non-Muslim visitors are monitored, and those who attempt to pray, sing, or make religious gestures are subject to immediate removal or arrest by Israeli security forces.
Alternative Prayer Sites: Jews who wish to pray near the site worship at the Western Wall, which is located just beneath the compound and is considered the closest accessible area to the ancient Temple's
