Surau At MAS Academy, Kelana Jaya

The surau is located at the ground floor. Clean, simple and big.

Positive:

They conduct "solat berjemaah". I was almost in tears when I discovered that and in tears as I wrote this note. Never experienced that at surau (except at residential areas).

They practise - use and return concept. You'll take the prayer mat as when you want to pray, after that returned it back to its place.

Negative:

Toilets are at the other end. Make sure you do your business first.

Surau @ Suria KLCC

Located behind Isetan, after the Post Office.

I like the design. It has a waiting area outside complete with simple benches.

It is big and yet always packed at peak period. Occasionally I saw security guard in the 'surau'. May be there were snatch thief cases before?? I don't know and just speculate.

On top of the 'wuduk' area, there is a rack where you can put your belongings -- if you afraid to leave it unattended.

The praying area is big.

Surau @ The Weld Shopping Center

The surau is located at ground floor, near the lift lobby.

It is extremely small and basic; yet it is packed with people during peak period. It could cater for the most 4-5 people praying at the same time; a small space for those waiting your their turn.

However, I am touched because the 'telekung' are clean.

Prayer Room @ Ikea

I like the location; near the cafeteria and washroom. It makes sense as you may leave your family or group to have some food at the cafeteria while you perform your solat.

Consistent with IKEA's other public facilities -- it is simple and they use IKEA's items.

Surau at Lot 10

It is embarassing to admit that the surau at this shopping complex is too 'dhaif' compared to the status of the complex. It is located at 5th floor, you have to take exit door to the surau.

Surau at Pavilion

The surau at Pavilion is located at 5th floor. It is hidden and you have to follow signage.

I like it because;
1. Heavy traffic, at low period - the cleaner would be there to dry-up the floor. Therefore you never felt alone and very rare you are the only one in the surau.
2. It is very simple but well equipped.

I don't like it because;
1. The route to the surau is like going through a maze - a small lane of 3-5 feet wide. If there is an emergency, definitely many people would be trapped inside this lane.

Surau at Hilton KL Sentral

This is my favorite surau. It is located at 5th floor -- parking lot.
I wished other public places provide facilities as of this hotel.

I like it because;
1. Only the surau located at this floor. Yet there is no eery feeling about being alone as many people are using the lift at this floow.
2. Surau is well designed and well equipped. This is the only surau that I am comfortable to use their 'telekung'. I think they washed 'telekungs' regularly. Telekungs are hanged in a wardrobe.

I don't like it because;
1. Err....I could not find any
