Masjid Selat Melaka di Bandar Hilir kelihatan terapung ketika air pasang

MELAKA: Sekali imbas, Masjid Selat Melaka tidak ubah seperti Masjid Terapung di Jeddah, Arab Saudi, yang indah terletak di persisiran pantai sehingga mampu memberi ketenangan jiwa apabila memandangnya.

Selain terletak di atas laut ketika air pasang, kawasan persekitarannya juga cukup indah dengan hiasan landskap pokok bunga berteraskan konsep masjid dalam taman.

Masjid Selat Melaka juga menggabungkan konsep seni bina Arab dan Melayu sehingga ia menjadi satu hasil yang menarik, apatah lagi dihiasi dengan lampu neon indah pada waktu malam.

Kerja-kerja pembinaan masjid yang terletak di atas tanah seluas 1.8 hektar di tengah-tengah pusat perniagaan itu bermula pada Julai 2003 dan siap sepenuhnya pada 29 Ogos lalu.

Ia kini diiktiraf antara masjid tercantik dan terindah di Malaysia. Tidak hairanlah, jika dikatakan rumah ibadat berkenaan paling mahal yang pernah diwujudkan di negeri itu.

Perasmian masjid yang berharga RM10.58 juta dan mampu menampung seramai 1,500 jemaah pada satu-satu masa itu disempurnakan Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Syed Putra Jamalullail, baru-baru ini.

Mengambil sempena nama selat yang tersibuk dan terpanjang di dunia, Masjid Selat Melaka nyata menjadi satu lagi tarikan utama pelancong untuk ke negeri ini.

Kewujudan masjid terbabit, seperti masjid bersejarah lain di Melaka, pastinya akan dapat menyumbang kepada peningkatan pelancong ke negeri itu selaras dengan hasrat kerajaan negeri untuk menjadikan Melaka sebuah destinasi pelancongan utama di rantau ini.

Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, yakin kewujudan masjid di tengah-tengah kawasan pusat perniagaan di Bandar Hilir itu dapat dijadikan sebagai medan perpaduan rakyat di Melaka.

Ia juga diiktiraf sebagai satu lagi mercu tanda baru bagi negeri berkenaan serta membuktikan kerajaan negeri sentiasa berusaha meningkatkan syiar Islam di negeri ini.

"Pembinaan masjid yang berada di tepi Selat Melaka ini adalah satu lagi usaha yang menunjukkan bahawa Islam itu adalah agama `universal' dan sentiasa menggalakkan umatnya hidup dalam kesederhanaan.

"Sehubungan itu, kewujudannya bukan saja boleh dianggap sebagai pusat penyebaran dakwah serta kesucian Islam, malah boleh juga dijadikan kawasan baru untuk pelancong ke negeri ini.

"Dengan adanya Masjid Selat Melaka ini, akan memudahkan lagi umat Islam yang bekerja di kawasan berkenaan menunaikan ibadat, khususnya solat Jumaat sekali gus menunjukkan ia boleh dijadikan sebagai lambang perpaduan rakyat di Melaka," katanya.

Ramadan lalu, masjid berkenaan digunakan untuk penganjuran pelbagai aktiviti keagamaan seperti program tadarus al-Quran, solat sunat terawih berjemaah, qiamullail serta majlis berbuka puasa yang membabitkan keseluruhan umat Islam di Melaka.

Keceriaan serta keindahan masjid itu terpancar apabila saban malam jemaah berkumpul untuk menunaikan ibadat sepanjang Ramadan lalu.

Diharap, masjid itu turut dijadikan sebagai platform untuk menyatukan umat Islam di negeri ini melalui pelbagai program, lebih-lebih lagi dalam menghadapi cabaran global serta merealisasikan visi Melaka Maju 2010.

Hai semua...

Walaupun Umbai ni Kampung Lypoh sendiri...tapi Lypoh tak sampai hati nak bawak kawan2 or sedara dr luar Melaka makan ikan bakar kat situ...kadang2 dahlah nasi lemak tu tak berapa sedap, servis pun kekadang out especially weekend...selalunya we all bawak diorang pergi Serkam Pantai atau Pengkalan Balak ..lagi murah..

Lagi satu, kat Umbai tu kadangkala price dia memang cekik darah...peniaga2 kat sini leh recognise tau group yg dtg tu org tempatan atau dr luar Melaka. Selalunya Singaporean atau Bruneian diorang akan tekan harga punye..:geram:
Hishh..wat malu org Melaka je......:malu:

Jadi kalau ada sesiapa yg teringin nak makan ikan bakar di Melaka, fikir2 ni dulu k..

pulau besar

Inilah kampungku...

Betul tu Cranko.. kita yang dah tahu ni kenalah bagitau kat kawan-kawan yang lain kan? Unless u guys tak kesah belanja lebih utk makan ikan bakar kat sini...tengok nasib jugaklah kan...kalau dpt kedai yg ok tu alhamdulillah..

Sebenarnya Lypoh sayang sangat ngan Pulau Besar tu ...banyak kenangan waktu kecik2 dulu di Pulau tu...tapi yg paling sedih dan tak dapat dilupa  kawan baik Lypoh lemas masa tragedi bot karam tak lama dulu...:cry::cry:

Pulau tu jangan lah korang buat maksiat ..:no: nanti ade aje tragedi yg tak elok berlaku...kalau korang masih ingat dulu Melaka pernah dilanda kemarau @ musim kering...kejadian tu tak lama selepas pihak tertentu meganggu kehidupan di Pulau tu semata2 nak jadikan resort...sebenarnya banyak lagi cerita yang penduduk kampung ni je yang tahu...Wallauhualam:lebai:

Melaka Today




Resourceless Malacca with a Iand area of only 1,638 sq. metres practises a two-pronged development via industrialisation and tourism.

The state started inviting over foreign investors in the early 7Os and since then has met with commendable success. By end of 1997, the state had registered a total investment of over RM16 bil., leading to over 80,000 job opportunities.

There are now 23 industrial estates with nearly 500 factories coming from the United States, Germany, Japan, Taiwan and also Singapore.

Their products range from rubber gloves to sophisticated weaponry components and from footwear to computer parts.

The state is also keen on the development of small-scale industries and to accommodate these, a number of estates have been earmarked for them. The Tanjung Kling and Batu Berendam areas are Free Trade Zones where imported materials used in manufacture are tax-free.
Current projections include developing Malacca into a manufacturing haven to help achieve developed country status by 2020.

Over 140 acres in Pegoh, Alor Gajah, have been earmarked for the automotive industry for the production of defence trucks by DRH-Hicom.

This industry is expected to provide opportunities for supporting industries, like mould and die, metal stamping, plastic injection, alternators and many others.

Its modern facilites and well-managed shop fronts (over 150 of them) offer visitors the comfort and luxury of shopping for just about everything under the sun "under one roof".  

If one is tired of shopping or hungry, there are over 30 stalls in the food courts, numerous fast food chains, restaurants and even ice cream parlours to satisfy the youngest and toughest of shoppers. For entertainment, there's also a cineplex for viewing the latest movies, family video games arcade,. spa and a 30 lane spanking new bowling complex. Visit location map.

For visitors in the Air Keroh region, another huge shopping complex beckons visitation. The Jaya Jusco shopping complex has recently being renovated and has housed over 40 shops in its premise to cater for everyone's shopping appetite. Located at just 7 minutes drive away from the Malacca Zoo, it's the ideal place to cool down for a drink or a quick cuppa. Visit location map.

There are many other shopping spots and complexes around Malacca that offers a bit of local flavour and foreign cliche. A bit of everything for everyone.
