      • The one in Puchong, Malaysia. We call it the Floating Mosque of Puchong to differentiate it from the other mosques in the area.
        Another beautiful mosque is the “Masjid Kristal” in Kuala Trengganu. Not sure it’s official name but I’m sure if you google Masjid Kristal, it would appear.
