Prayer house

Prayer house

From Media Indonesia

Minister of Tourism, Post and Telecommunications Joop Ave said in an interview with a private television station that hotels do provide enough facilities to meet regulations. But they fail to address certain spiritual aspects, and many do not provide a prayer house, or mushola.

I acknowledge the minister's statement but as a Moslem businessman, I often have meetings and functions at hotels. It is always difficult to find a mushola for sholat. In Singapore, for example, even with a population that is predominantly Chinese, one can find a mushola in most star-rated hotels.

I hope that Indonesian hotels will take this matter into consideration.
