Fund Raised for Yusof Ishak Mosque Building in Singapore

TEHRAN (IQNA) – About 3,500 Woodlands residents turned up on Saturday (Jul 25) and walked along Champions Way in Singapore in tribute to the Republic's first President Yusof Ishak.

 At the event, National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan presented S$104,000 to the Chairman of the Yusof Ishak Mosque Building Fund.

The funds were raised from a series of the events in the past two months for the new, 4,500-capacity mosque in Woodlands, which is due to open late 2016.

The walking route was near the Yusof Ishak mosque site and the Singapore Sports School, in remembrance of Yusof’s passion for sports.
