Airports and skyscrapers are fine, but not Quran Village? FT minister hits back at critics after backlash over RM150m mega project | Malay Mail

Annuar today revealed that the Quran Village will consist a new 5,000-capacity mosque, a 'Quranic Science and Prophetic Biography' centre, a hostel and event space, a market, and an arts centre. — Picture via Twitter

The Federal Territories minister compared the negative reaction towards the mega project with other ventures such as airports, undersea tunnels and skyscrapers that have been lauded by their developers and the wider public. “Proud with building towers when Kuala Lumpur is ‘littered’ with them. But when it comes to building mosques, Quran centres, they start getting negative,” Annuar posted on Twitter today.

Annuar was lambasted by critics earlier today after unveiling the design for the planned Quran Village which would span 20 acres and started construction next year.

Please use the funds to help the people first

AnnuarMusa! Which government is building skyscrapers and airports during this pandemic?

Always a priority when people are wondering where their next meal is coming from or if they will still have a roof over their heads !

Klu politikus bagi $$ okay la. Tapi klu $$ rakyat bagi balik la kat rakyat. Ramai yg takde makan nuar. Siap pinjam $$ tiap bulan.

Aiyoooo.... Why so dumb one la...

Kg. Baru issue resolved? What happened?

Yes. We requested for airports. But never requested for skyscrapers. These are the politicians’ external extension of themselves, you moron! Just look at the empty space in Twin towers & many more.

1. Skyscrappers mostly private investor money, not federal gov budget. 2. Airports are public transportation 3. Why so obsessed building mosque etc meanwhile yall bunch are heavily involved rasuah.

AnnuarMusa bila rakyat kata tidak perlu tidak perlu la YB kecuali $150 juta ini duit keluarga YB dan YB sedia untuk menderma. Duit wakaf itu duit rakyat and utk kegunaan kanak kanak asnaf.

Airport kat Kedah tu ke? Yg dekat sgt dgn airport Penang. Itu pon kena tiaw.

Buta ke. Skyscraper haritu pun rakyat marah. Are you going to use alasan agama on this? Which is even more despicable!

🙄

When did the rakyat say skyscrapers are fine? It was the govt who kept using our money to build all those unnecessary things without our consent!

Not sure why the need to build quranic village when they themselves don't practice teachings of the quran (corrupt, extravagant)

wrong timing....
