After two years of construction, Perodua has completed its new mosque, Masjid Perodua, at its headquarters in Sungai Choh, Rawang today, and conducted its first Friday prayer there.
Built on a 3.78-acre piece of land and costing around RM9.8 million to build, the 0.92-acre house of worship – which has a total congregation capacity of 3,000 workers – is part of the national carmaker’s corporate responsibility initiative for its staff and the community around the facility.
Aside from the prayer area, the mosque also features other amenities such as food stalls and space to hold community functions like weddings and funerals.
“We hope this Masjid Perodua would be able to become the centre of all the community’s needs,” said Perodua president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh. “In addition, this house of worship would also benefit Peroduans as it allows them the convenience and safety, especially when performing their Friday prayer obligations.”
The mosque was donated to the community through the Islamic practice of waqaf, and was handed over to the Selangor Department of Islamic Affairs (JAIS) in accordance with state law. The authorities entrusted the administration of the mosque to a sponsor committee led by Noor Hashiman Sulaiman, chairman of Badan Agama Islam Perodua.

Crikey that’s big
This is good. However I advice the CEO to put a sign in the Masjid that says, “No sleeping Allowed”
Otherwise, it will become like the surau in Proton facotry….staff go there to sleep during work hours. Half the time, the supervisor has to go to the surau and wake the workers up cause they are not in the QC assembly line.
“Bang, bang, tolong bangun lah bang, shift bang dah start 15 minit lalu, semua tak boleh jalan sekarang, tolong lah bang, tolong bangun”
True facts.
Good initiative by perodua. For convenience of people.
Kinte used to be a proton factory worker, till today he is not happy with his recond persona.Trade in your car and I make sure i give you best RV
That is not only in Proton. It is in every Government Department and Ministry as well as all the GLCs. It starts from school. Many students don’t go back to the classroom cause they sleep in the surau. This perangai they bring with them to their work life.
did not happen during my time. which school did u study bro? henry gurney?
RM 9.8mil to build a mosque?
You think it’s cheap as building a bungalow?
Actually that’s considered cheap for a building this size and specced
Can Perodua also allow temples and churches to be built in Perodua also? It would help the non muslim workers there to to pray.
Boleh ke??
That would be great but then you have to ask how many workers are non muslims?how about the surrounding communities??
A whole masjie can fit 3k worshippers at a time. Can you find 3k non muslim workers to pray at any time or even in a single ritual procession? Don’t speak from your deceased heart. Even a miniature temple is a far cry from any worshipper let alone to even step on its holy ground. Any organization will build a house of worship if it is feasible.
Temple of VTEC
Masjid of PERODUA…
Other than doing good deeds or civil responsibility, the masjid setup also help in the branding of perodua, in a way…
Temple of non-existent DVVT
so expensive
9.8mil
bro, a simple school hall already costs a million or two.
so expensive
9.8mil
really?
In before proton macais say no testing done, copy paste design, milo tin construction, etc
Got one up there, but not as many as comments to bash p1 when Bisa was launched.
P2 is really in paranoid!
Inb4 p1 macai say ini actually masjid daihatsu toyota
Inb4 bumbung runtuh, ini semua salah P1…
Boleh pulakk ada soalan tanya “RM 9.8mil to build a mosque??” Rumah Lim Guan Eng di “jual murah” pun berharga RM2.8 juta. Ini masjid besar, kawasan besar, tempat ramai orang datang sembahyang. So mestilah kos juga tinggi. Logik la. Macam mana u fikir ni??
Perodua is a good car, very well done, very creative design, lots of new ideas.LOL
Hello Juan,
I am not an expert in real estate. But your argument is slight flawed ecause you didn’t factor in land cost for Mr. Lim’s murah house. So, the construction cost is not RM 2.8 mil.
The RM 9.8 mil is building cost for one building one religion, and it’s from a car company. Do you see the logic here?
Im not good in calculus but that one religion represents majority of labor in the production line. That one religion can cause the production into a halt or overdrive depending on their morale. I don’t see it is an issue instead it is a good managerial decision to encourage glad tidings. The mosque will be used till it is beyond repair. Seems that you have a major issue with mosques and Muslims. Don’t use the name “Jason” if your heart is full of hatred, it is a disgrace to the 70 Disciples. It is supposed to be the name of a person who heals, this is unlikely one.
You can say it’s Pro Doa.
Badumtsss
When a car company starts dwelling into religion. Bad sign
So according to you… no company should spend monies on any religious activity… no donation to temples… no donation to churches… no donation to any activities what so ever that involve religion.
Maybe I am ignorant, I never heard about car manufacturers (US, Germany or Japan) built place of worship for its workers in that scale.
If you ever visited Apple or Microsoft campus, they don’t have this kind of worship place build under their belt.
Donation to charitable organization is one thing, what Perodua did is beyond donation.
Just my thought, echoing the statement made by boycottperodua.
Tell me more about scale. Question is,what is the percentage of workers obliged to do compulsory prayers and if they do, how frequent. Simple example, why would you build a toilet for the use of 15 workers? Because they need to excrete. Same goes to 5 times prayer for the Muslims. Even the gap between prayers is lesser than 9 hours for the longest, shortest is lesser than 1hour and 20minutes. Enlight me, would you deny a Chapel/Church or a Temple if their followers heavily require one to be built? The answer is clear. About Microsoft and Apple. How many of them truly belong to the faith system and are they the obliged type? By the way some companies built a Buddhist/Hindu temple for the convenient for few worshippers, should we deny that action too? If they were to cost 9mil, we should deny it too right? this is coming from your comment. You can brag all day long about the Western company’s portfolio. They act based on their origin, they are doing it well and know their best interest.
Yes you are ignorant and lazy to read too. there are many companies provide room for worshipers to pray. Of course not a big scale building because the amount of worshipers is minimal – thus room is enough.
Kurang ajar
When P2 gonna open tokong and temple too?
The price is charged by contractors. Which if u do a proper check many were awarded to non Muslims companies. It is not an issue of racism or religion.
This shows that Perodua takes QC seriously. They even built a mosque nearby the factory that can hold thousands of faithful, which allows them to minimize the “Friday car” problem. Kudos to Perodua..
Religion is a serious business
Religion is not a business
Unless a religion has a compulsory ritual or prayers around the clock, of course an organization will eventually have to build it. So much hatred aye? it reflects oneself, really.
If Perodua is actually Daihatsu then is it fair to say that the Japanese and non-muslim owners are in it indirectly like many other things indirectly speaking.
So which Toyota/Daihatsu platform this mosque is based on? What?? No airbags and VSC?? xD
Do you pay for air?
Since the number of commentators in Paultan are increasingly becoming irresponsible / insensitive/ immature to their post , I am sincerely think this kind of post should not be uploaded in the first place. Racial / religious disharmony is a real thing nowadays in Malaysia, despite all the talk about 1Malaysia. Please respect others faith, and keep your wild accusation / idea to yourself in a public post like this.
If 1Malaysia is togetherness and MY pipu rejected 1Malaysia, so what does it tell u about MY pipu?
Bodoh. Bila agama dibuat main2 oleh kebanyakkan orang. Tak perlu rasanya nak kutuk agama tu atau agama ni. Realiti pemikiran rakyat Malaysia.
Akhir2 ni makin menjadi-jadi pulak kebodohan puak2 ni. So much hatred in them.
Baguslah Perodua dah sediakan kemudahan untuk pekerja dan penduduk sekitar.
Naza pun dah banyak menyumbang kepada pembinaan Masjid.
Semoga lepas ini lebih banyak lagi sumbangan daripada swasta untuk orang ramai sama-sama menggunakan kemudahan yang selesa.
will this be the center for Pokemon Gym? hehehe
To all nons. Ask yourself when was he last time a government GLC like Perodua donated money for the building of Churches or temples.
If the GLC were to be managed by the nons, will they donate or contribute to the building of the mosques?
