..... of architecture and places of worship
Is this a Buddhist temple? A Taoist temple? A Confucian hall? Building of a moral uplifting Society? What do you think?
Think harder ! Y S made some time during his last trip home to Kelantan to make some discoveries.
Now the minaret gives it away? It is a Chinese architectured mosque called " Mesjid Beijing" located, of all the places in Malaysia, in Rantau Panjang of the PAS strong hold state of Kelantan. Most unique and one of its kind. The PAS government has been at ONEMalaysia, way ahead of the BN. Such tolerant is exemplary. Given any location in urban and sophisticated PJ, there will be "I don't know what head" demonstration even before the foundation stone could be laid.
The OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT AND OMNISCIENCE of the Almighty cannot be strictly contained in places of worship, all the more of a specific architecture. The Almighty is too GREAT to be solely belonged to a particular race or people. The love of the worshipers for the Almighty should be allowed to be freely expressed in the culture and tradition the worshippers know best.
One up for PAS Kelantan !!!
