Masjid (Mosque of) KLIA, Sepang

OK. Sebenarnya saya mahu meletakkan kompilasi links untuk artikel tentang masjid-masjid yang pernah dilawati di Selangor. Tetapi semasa meneliti links baru saya tersedar nampaknya saya telah terlupa membuat artikel tentang Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Shah di Shah Alam sedangkan ia adalah masjid negeri dan salah satu masjid terbesar di Asia Tenggara! Dalam pada itu baru saya teringat sekembalinya dari Brunei bulan Ogos saya telah singgah di Masjid KLIA, Sepang lalu ada mengambil gambar. Jadi biar dibuat satu artikel tentangnya ya.. :]
OK. Actually I want to put the compilation of links for articles on mosques in Selangor which I have visited. But while reviewing the links did I only realised it looks like I've forgotten to write an article on the mosque of Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Shah in Shah Alam when it is the state mosque and one of the biggest mosque in South East Asia! While going about it I also remembered upon returning from Brunei in August I stopped at the KLIA mosque, Sepang and took some pictures. So let an article be made about it ya... :]

Inilah Masjid KLIA di Sepang atau nama rasminya Masjid Sultan Abdul Samad.

This is it the KLIA mosque in Sepang or its offical name Masjid (mosque of) Sultan Abdul Samad.

Terletak sekitar 5 km dari Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) ia adalah salah satu bangunan yang paling terserlah di sekitar.

Located around 5 km from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) it is one of the most outstanding building in the vicinity.

Suatu masa dahulu saya sering singgah di masjid ini.
Once upon a time I often stopped by at this mosque.

Ketika itu saya adalah seorang wartawan sukan dan sering ke Litar Antarabangsa Sepang untuk meliputi acara sukan bermotor.

At the time I was a sports journalist and often go to the Sepang International Circuit to cover motosports events.

There is information saying it was officiated in the year 2000.




Masjid ini memiliki ruang legar besar terbuka di bahagian tengah.
This mosque has a big open lobby at its centre section.

From there only the main dome could be seen clearly.

Baru juga kelihatan pintu masuk ke dewan utama solat.

Then only also one could see the door to the main praying hall.

Bangunan Alat Kebesaran Diraja (Royal Regalia Building), Brunei

Salah sebuah tempat yang patut diziarahi jika datang ke Brunei adalah Bangunan Alat Kebesaran Diraja di tengah Bandar Seri Begawan.

One of the places that should be visited if one comes to Brunei is the Royal Regalia Building.

Di dalam terdapat banyak barangan berkenaan institusi diraja Brunei.
Inside are available many items concerning the royal institution of Brunei.

Pelawat dilarang mengambil gambar di dalam galeri-galeri tepi. Kamera tidak boleh dibawa masuk dan harus ditinggalkan di dalam almari berkunci.

Visitors are not allowed to take pictures inside the side galleries. Cameras are not allowed in and have to be left behind inside lockers.

Namun kita dibolehkan mengambil gambar di galeri bawah tengah merangkap luang legar.
But we are allowed to take pictures at the lower centre gallery which is also the lobby.

Bahagian ini memaparkan barangan yang dibawa semasa perarakan untuk pertabalan Sultan.

This section features items which have to be carried while making procession for the coronation of a Sultan.

Saya tak ingat bagaimanakah aturan barang-barang ini, mana di depan mana di belakang...
I can't remember how these items are ordered, which ones at the back which ones in front...





Cukuplah disebut saya melihatnya dengan berjalan melawan arah jam.
Suffice to say I looked at it while walking anti-clockwise.














Barangan paling utama adalah usungan beroda.
The main item is a wheeled carriage.




Di atasnyalah Sultan duduk ketika dibawa berarak.
It is on top of it that the Sultan sits while being carried in procession.







Sedikit penerangan.
A bit of explanation.

OK. Antara barangan menarik yang terdapat di galeri tepi yang tidak boleh diambil gambar adalah apa yang dipanggil Tongkat Ajai.

OK. Among the interesting items inside the side galleries of which pictures can't be taken of is what is called the Tongkat Ajai.

Saya dapat menunjukkan rupanya kerana ada tertera pada risalah.
I am able to show its look because it is featured in the brochure.




Terdapat juga senarai barangan yang dibawa semasa perarakan pertabalan.
There is also a list of items to be carried about during procession for coronation.



Malangnya apabila diteliti risalah ternyata tiada penerangan tentang Tongkat Ajai.
Too bad when the brochure is looked at closely there is no explanation on Tongkat Ajai.

Nasib baik saya ada baca penerangan di galeri. Kalau tak salah ingatan ia adalah tongkat untuk memangku dagu ketika Sultan berada di atas singgahsana.

Luckily I have read some explanation at the gallery. If memory serves me right it is some sort of stick to support the chin while the Sultan sits on the throne.
