Interesting visit, pay 10 MYR to go in to the mosque. This includes the Muslim clothing provided. The entry is to the none prayer areas.

Beautiful mosque and very well worth the visit. It only cost 10 Ringgit or $2.38 US to enter which includes a rental of traditional clothing for both men and women. The mosque is quite small and very limited for exploration because they have a school in the mosque and the school area is restricted. Also some parts of the mosque is restricted to only worshippers.
