        "content": "<p>The development of large-scale residential areas in Serang Regency,\nBanten, is increasingly focusing on providing social and religious\nfacilities as instruments to strengthen community ecosystems. This is\nmarked by the inauguration of Masjid Al-Kautsar in the Mulia Gading\nKencana (MGK) housing estate on Saturday (25\/4\/2026), which is projected\nto become the centre of residents\u2019 activities. The inauguration was\nattended by central and local authorities, including representatives\nfrom the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas as well as the Serang\nRegency Government. The President Director of Infinity Triniti Jaya,\nSamuel S Huang, emphasised that providing the mosque is part of the\ndeveloper\u2019s commitment to completing basic infrastructure for thousands\nof families who have already occupied MGK. \u201cPraise and gratitude we\noffer to the Almighty God for the completion of the construction of\nMasjid Al-Kautsar. We hope this mosque can be used to the best by all\nMGK housing residents as a place of worship and to build harmonious\nrelations,\u201d said Samuel, quoted by Kompas.com on Monday (27\/4\/2026).\nMeanwhile, the Director General of Village Economic Development and\nInvestment (PEID) from the Ministry of Villages, Development of\nDisadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration (Kemendes PDT), Tabrani,\nappreciated the developer\u2019s initiative for not delaying the construction\nof public facilities until the project is fully completed. According to\nhim, accessibility to places of worship is a basic right of consumers\nthat must be fulfilled by every subsidised housing developer. Tabrani\nassured that the Government continues to encourage developers to\nconsistently provide adequate social and public facilities. In line with\nthis, the Regent of Serang, Ratu Rachmatuzzakiyah, highlighted the\nstrategic role of the mosque in maintaining social stability in new\nurban areas. She assessed that the MGK housing contributes significantly\nto reducing the housing backlog in Serang Regency, but she reminded that\nenvironmental management aspects should remain a priority. \u201cI entrust a\nmessage to the residents to maintain and care for this mosque together,\nand to use it as a means to strengthen brotherhood and create a safe and\ncomfortable environment,\u201d said the Regent of Serang. Mulia Gading\nKencana itself is one of the strategic integrated housing projects in\nSerang, complete with transportation access and industrial zones. With\nthousands of units already absorbed by the market, the presence of\nfacilities like Masjid Al-Kautsar adds value that improves the living\nstandards of low-income communities (MBR). In the future, the MGK area\nis projected to continue developing into a new self-sufficient city\ncapable of balancing residential functions with meeting the spiritual\nand social needs of its residents.<\/p>",
