Cempaka Putih Sub-district Head, M. Fauzi explained the prayer room construction was carried out as an effort to improve services to the community in the form of providing facilities and infrastructure, making it easier to worship, especially for employees and visitors, as well as the surrounding people.

Its construction has been carried out over the last three months, namely since the laying of the first stone on September 8, 2023. The 35-square-meter prayer room can accommodate approximately 40 congregations.

"The prayer room has been completed with the required permits in the form of a building construction permit issued by the Cempaka Putih Sub-district One-Stop Integrated Service (PTSP)," he explained.

With the aesthetic shape of the prayer room, it was hoped that it would also attract people. It has an environmentally friendly concept, is surrounded by trees and grass, does not use air conditioning (AC) to maintain its beauty, and can also be used as a green open space for the community.

"It is a form of service to the community. We're happy because today it was inaugurated directly by the Acting Governor," he added.

It was conducted in synergy between the Cempaka Putih Sub-district State Civil Apparatus (ASN), namely from the PTSP Sub-agency and assisted by the Water Resources Sub-agency (SDA), Bina Marga Sub-agency, Parks and City Forest Sub-agency, and other related agencies.
