the construction method for the mosque is first of its kind....not the typical construction method. most of the walls covered with glass and less concrete are used...

PM rasmi Taman Tamadun Islam 3 Feb.


Oleh WAN RAMLI WAN MUHAMADKUALA TERENGGANU 13 Jan. – Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dijadual merasmikan Taman Tamadun Islam (TTI) yang menelan belanja RM249.3 juta di Pulau Wan Man di sini pada 3 Februari ini.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Infrastruktur, Kemudahan Awam dan Komunikasi Negeri, Datuk Wan Hisham Wan Salleh berkata, pelbagai acara menarik akan diadakan sempena perasmian tersebut.

Katanya, TTI yang mempunyai keluasan kira-kira 33 hektar menempatkan model masjid bersejarah antaranya Masjid Al-Aqsa (Palestin), Taj Mahal (India), Al-Hambra (Sepanyol), Menara Kaylan (Uzbekistan) dan Kudus Minar (Indonesia).

Model-model bersejarah yang lain ialah Masjid Samarra (Iraq), Kompleks Sulayman (Turki), Shaikh Lutfallah (Iran), Masjid Xian (China), Kul Sharif (Rusia) dan Qairawan (Tunisia).

“Projek pembinaan TTI yang diilhamkan oleh Perdana Menteri akan menjadi daya tarikan baru untuk pelancong di negeri ini,'' kata Wan Hisham kepada Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.

Beliau berkata, projek pembinaan TTI itu melibatkan 34 kontraktor tempatan sementara Perbadanan Memajukan Iktisad Negeri Terengganu (PMINT) bertanggungjawab memantau projek tersebut.

Beliau yakin kedatangan pelancong akan terus meningkat ke negeri ini selepas TTI dirasmikan oleh Perdana Menteri.

Dengan siapnya TTI itu nanti, orang ramai di negeri ini tidak perlu lagi pergi ke Agra, India untuk melihat keindahan seni bina Taj Mahal yang dibina Maharaja Moghul, Shah Jahan atau ke Istanbul, Turki bagi menyaksikan keunikan Kompleks Sulayman.

Wan Hisham memberitahu, TTI menawarkan segala keindahan, keunikan dan kehalusan seni bina Islam.

Masjid Kristal pula yang dijangka menjadi 'ikon' TTI digarapkan dengan ciri dan reka bentuk yang keseluruhannya memaparkan identiti Terengganu, terutama hiasan unik kaligrafi tempatan yang memerlukan ketelitian.

Terletak di muara sungai Terengganu, lokasi TTI amat strategik dan mudah dihubungi dengan destinasi pelancongan lain seperti Muzium Negeri, Pulau Duyong dan Heritage Trail (Bukit Puteri, Kedai Payang dan Kampung Cina).

Taman tema itu yang menggabungkan keindahan alam semula jadi dan seni bina, termasuk pembinaan Masjid Kristal dan pusat konvensyen, yang mula dibina Mac 2005 kini pada peringkat akhir mencantikkan landskap sebelum dibuka secara rasmi pada 3 Februari ini.

Wan Hisham berkata, pembinaan 21 replika monumen bersejarah di seluruh dunia Islam itu menggunakan tenaga kerja pembinaan profesional serta kontraktor tempatan.

Katanya, melalui agensi pelaksana juga, PMINT menggunakan kepakaran arkitek berpengalaman dalam pembangunan taman tema terkenal dunia seperti Tokyo Disney Sea dan Movieworld and Seaworld Agro Gold Resort di Australia.

I don't like the domes. Too fake!! they should use smallers panels for cladding.

Taman Tamadun Islam dibuka sempena program Perkampungan Hadhari

KUALA TERENGGANU: Kerajaan negeri menganggarkan lebih 700,000 pelancong, termasuk dari Timur Tengah akan melawat Taman Tamadun Islam (TTI) di Pulau Wan Man, di sini, sepanjang sembilan hari Perkampungan Hadhari, bermula semalam.

TTI yang dibina membabitkan peruntukan RM250 juta di atas tapak seluas 23 hektar dan mengandungi 21 Monumen Islam terunggul itu buat julung kalinya dibuka secara rasmi kepada orang ramai sempena Perkampungan Hadhari.


Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh, berkata kerajaan belum menetapkan kadar bayaran masuk yang akan dikenakan kepada pengunjung apabila TTI dibuka kepada umum mulai bulan depan.

Bagaimanapun katanya, bayaran masuk yang akan dikenakan ke TTI yang turut mengandungi Masjid Kristal tidak membebankan pengunjung.

"Apabila TTI dibuka kepada umum bulan depan, kerajaan negeri menjangkakan lebih satu juta pelancong dari dalam dan luar negara, terutama pelancong dari Timur Tengah akan mengunjunginya dalam tempoh setahun," katanya selepas melawat pameran pelbagai agensi kerajaan sempena program Perkampungan Hadhari, di sini, semalam.


Sebelum itu, Idris diwawancara pengacara, Aziz Desa dan disiarkan secara lintas langsung oleh TV9.

Hadir sama, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Induk Perkampungan Hadhari, Datuk Wan Hisham Wan Salleh dan Pengerusi Media Prima Berhad, Datuk Abdul Mutalib Abdul Razak.

TTI akan dirasmikan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, kira-kira jam 8.45 malam, Ahad ini.

Idris berkata, antara monumen menarik di taman tema berunsurkan Islam itu ialah Masjid Besar Samarra, Iraq yang kini tidak wujud lagi apabila musnah dibom tentera Barat pada tahun 2005.

"Imam masjid beberapa negara di Timur Tengah, termasuk Iraq yang diundang kerajaan negeri untuk mengimamkan solat di masjid di negeri ini kagum dengan kehalusan dan keaslian replika masjid di TTI.

"Mereka yang berkesempatan melawat TTI kagum apabila replika 21 masjid yang dibina mengikut spesifikasi monumen sebenar, termasuk rupa bentuk, warna dan tekstur bangunan," katanya.

Idris berkata, pembinaan TTI mengandungi dua zon iaitu kompleks yang mempamerkan replika monumen terunggul dalam sejarah kegemilangan Tamadun Islam.

"Kerajaan negeri bercadang membina kincir angin yang saiznya lebih besar dan menyamai kincir angin digunakan masyarakat Islam di zaman lampau," katanya.

Malaysia's new icons get thumbs up


KUALA TERENGGANU: The prime minister yesterday hailed both the Islamic Civilisation theme park and the crystal mosque as iconic projects for the country.

At the launch of the theme park at Pulau Wan Man here last night, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the theme park was the best way to reflect the principles of Islam Hadhari.

"Islam Hadhari has universal values that should not alienate non-Muslims. It is not a new sect or a new religion, but principles which guide and benefit all Malaysians.

"The theme park also has a seminar hall that can be used as a venue to promote religious understanding and encourage tolerance in multi-faith Malaysia," he said, adding that the park symbolised the goodness related to Islam.

Abdullah said although the park was made up of miniatures, it was enough to reflect the beauty and architecture of the Islamic era.

"To my knowledge, both the theme park and crystal mosque are the first of their kinds in the world. This will augur well for the tourism industry here."

Abdullah toured the replicas at the theme park and visited the exhibition at the convention centre.

The 23-hectare, RM250 million theme park, features replicas of 21 mosques:shocked:, including the famed Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, the Taj Mahal in India, the Al-Hambra in Spain, the Kaylan Tower in Uzbekistan and the Kudus Minar in Indonesia.
The crystal mosque, located in the theme park, will be officiated by Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin on Friday.

Alhamdulillah! Malaysia patut ada banyak lagi Taman Tamadun Islam!!

Alhamdulillah! Malaysia patut ada banyak lagi Taman Tamadun Islam!!

Crystal Mosque offers wireless broadband

By R.S.N. MURALI

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Crystal Mosque at the Islamic Civilisation Park in Pulau Wan Man here is to have wireless broadband access.

The mosque made of crystal shine glass and steel foundation is also equipped with the latest ICT facilities where sermons could be aired via the Internet.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh said the mosque is an icon, not only for Malaysia but also at a global level.

The mosque is part of the RM250mil Islamic Civilisation Park situated on a 23 ha site and is under the East Coast Economic Region (ECER).

Idris said the park has attracted a steady flow of visitors since Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi opened it on Feb 3.

"The park saw an arrival of 700,000 visitors in six days since its opening where the spillover affect from the enormous crowd, vastly benefited the local business fraternity and food operators," he said.

So, it sounds like the Crystal mosque is the functional mosque in the theme park? Looks really pretty at night with theme lighting! But in daytime, I can see that the trees need to grow up really soon! That crystal facade must be an incredible heat dispenser!

There are a few mosques in Malaysia which allow non-Muslims to enter if properly attired.

One of the more popular ones is the Putra Mosque in Putrajaya. I myself have entered many times and my overseas visitors love to visit the mosque because it is something unique and such visit give them a better understanding of the religion and in some ways - lessen Islamophobia. Some non-Malaysian forumers here could attest to that. :yes:

However that was pre-2004. After our new PM entered office, apparently it was 'under his instruction' that non-Muslims are not allowed in despite having worn the 'pink robes' provided by the mosque. I am not too sure if this is true but the security told me so when I asked. My aunt whom I brought there at that time aren't impressed and felt that it is quite snobbish of the authorities to do so. Afterall they have allowed properly-attired visitors in before during non-prayer hours. And most religious houses/places allowed visitations of people outside their faith. So why? :ohno:

there's some misunderstanding among muslim/islamic authority themselves in allowing non-muslims to enter/visit mosques. actually majority believes and for certain degree i also believe mosque is a place to worship and not a 'tourist attraction'. it has to do with the MENTALITY of Malay Muslim, not ISLAM itself, you should know that...

so, despite being open for non-muslim tourists to see the architecture/structure of mosque, it is not proper for non-prayers to simply roaming inside mosque without proper attire...

you know, there was one time i bring my non-muslim chinese frend (a man) into a mosque and the guard didn't even care for that (maybe he thinks that guy is a muslim too)...so, that's why i said, if you really want to enter mosque....you should know the 'trick'...

you can't force others to follow you rule...but you can 'play' with the rule ;)

I believe many Malaysians of other faiths respect Mosques as place of worship. But it's a pity we Muslims in Malaysia refuse to share them the place where we send our hopes and prayers to god.:)

Taman Masjid Terapung 'sakit'

KUALA TERENGGANU 17 Dis. - Dewan Undangan Negeri hari ini diberitahu status projek pembinaan Taman Rekreasi Masjid Terapung di Kuala Ibai dekat sini yang berharga RM90 juta sebagai projek sakit.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Infrastruktur dan Kemudahan Awam negeri, Yahya Khatib Mohamad berkata, pembinaan projek tersebut di bawah Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan telah ditangguhkan.

Katanya, projek yang dilaksanakan bertujuan menyediakan kemudahan rekreasi kepada penduduk sepatutnya siap 19 Mei 2008, namun gagal disiapkan mengikut jadual.

''Surat menamatkan tender kontraktor terbabit sudah dikeluarkan dan ia dikategorikan sebagai projek sakit," katanya menjawab soalan lisan Dr. Syed Azman Syed Ahmad Nawawi (Pas-Batu Burok) pada persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri di sini hari ini.

Dalam pada itu, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Perindustrian, Perdagangan dan Alam Sekitar negeri, Toh Chin Yaw memberitahu bahawa kerajaan negeri tidak bertanggungjawab terhadap penutupan kilang papan Rapid Skills Sdn. Bhd. di bandar Al-Muktafibillah Shah, Dungun.

Semasa menjawab soalan lisan Wan Hassan Mohd. Ramli (Pas-Sura), beliau memberitahu, walaupun 150 orang pekerja ditamatkan perkhidmatan berikutan penutupan itu, namun proses pembuangan dibuat menurut saluran yang betul.

''Mereka dibayar pampasan atau ganti berikutan tindakan pemberhentian kerja oleh majikan," ujarnya.

1.9 million visit Islamic Civilisation Park
By R.S.N.Murali and Shahril Che Wan


KUALA TERENGGANU: The Islamic Civilisation Park (TTI) here received 1.9 million visitors for the first ten months of this year, State Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage committee chairman Datuk Zaabar Mohd Adib told the state legislative assembly on Tuesday.

The Rantau Abang assemblyman said the figure was complemented by the arrival of a significant number of tourists during the Hadhari programme organised by the state government early this year.

The arrival of visitors was expected to escalate from time to time due to the activities organised by the agency commissioned by the state government, he said.

Zaabar said all the 21 replicas and monuments had been completed and the state government would spearhead its promotion blitz for the overseas market.

He said this in his reply to Muhammad Ramli Nuh (BN-Tepoh).

Zaabar said the “River Cruise’’ was one of the packages introduced to lure the crowd to TTI.

“The cruise is a selling point for TTI as visitors can enjoy the scenic view of Sungai Terengganu,” he said.

In another development, the assembly was also told that the state government had given scholarships to 20 local students in the aviation field for next year’s intake.

Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said (BN-Kijal) said the scholarships were also for those interested to pursue a course in aircraft maintenance.

Ahmad also said that the Sultan Mahmud airport here would handle 20 Haj flights to the Holy Land of Mecca from next year, hence turning the airport into a regional hub for pilgrimage tours.

He said pilgrimages from Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu would use the airport to fly directly to Jeddah from next year.

In an unrelated development, Ahmad said the state government would upgrade the irrigation system in the city centre as one of the flood mitigation measures in the near future.

He said the upgrading was important as Kuala Terengganu’s drainage and irrigation system was obsolete and needed to be rectified to prevent major floods.

“Upgrading is costly and not the same as road construction.

“We have to look into several engineering factors right from the catchments areas to the outlets,” he said.

Ahmad said the irrigation system that was being planned included the laying of 25km long monsoon drains at the city’s south zone, the construction of four bridges, 11 triple culverts and two water gates that is estimated to cost RM90mil.

The second proposed project at the north zone is a 18km-long drainage system with three bridges and 17 triple culverts.

The projected construction cost is about RM200mil.

Meanwhile, the state government through the state Entrepreneur Development Foundation had set aside RM2mil to refurbish taxi services in the state.

State Rural Development, Entrepreneur and Cooperative committee chairman Datuk Mohamad Awang Tera said the money would be distributed to 200 taxi owners and each was eligible to receive RM10,000.

“Priority will be given to taxi owners driving outdated models,” he said when wrapping up his debate at the state assembly sitting.
