Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 6: Fadli Fawzi on mosque construction planning parameters
In parliament on Thursday (Mar 5), MP Fadli Fawzi noted that the Al-Firdaus Mosque in Choa Chu Kang is to be closed once a new mosque in Tengah is completed. He said that this raises the question of what the specific planning parameters are to determine whether and when a mosque should be closed down, relocated, expanded or newly built. He also wanted to know if the government has a target mosque-to-Muslim-resident population ratio and asked that the government consider heritage beyond just numbers.
