KUALA TERENGGANU, July 12 (Bernama) -- The Terengganu state government will upgrade the administration management of mosques to make them cleaner, tidier and more proper.

Initially, five mosques would be selected as models, said State Religious Affairs and Information Committee Chairman Khazan Che Mat.

"We will be using the management modules used by mosques in Penang, Sarawak and Singapore as models," he said after closing a mosque management workshop here Monday.

Khazan said the state government found that mosques in Terengganu did not pay much attention to cleanliness although it was an important aspect.

As such, the government would reactivate district religious information committees with each mosque receiving RM50,000 for the programme.
