These series of images were taken as part of a coffee-table book to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Mosque Building Fund (MBF) initiated by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS). MUIS had commissioned us, Klique Images (www.kliquemages.com), to take images of masjids in Singapore, which were constructed under the MBF scheme, and the various people (Ministers, Mufti, architects, etc) who spearheaded & were directly involved in the projects.
I was not tasked to take these pictures but due to some misunderstanding, I had to take these at the 11th hour to complete the project & submit the photos to MUIS. Well .... it's a long story but I'm glad that some of the pix turned out ok.
