Pulo Asem Mosque wins award
JAKARTA: Pulo Asem Grand Mosque in Pulo Gadung, East Jakarta,
was named The Best Mosque in 2002 by the city administration in a
competition to commemorate both the city's anniversary and
Independence Day.
Hidayatullah Mosque in Setiabudi, South Jakarta and At-Taqwa
Mosque in Kalideres, West Jakarta were the runners-up.
Governor Sutiyoso expected the mosques to work hard not only
in religious affairs but also to pay attention to their
neighborhoods in overcoming social problems, such as drug
addiction. -- JP
