Istiqlal mosque preps VIP toilet for Saudi's King
Jakarta Post - March 1, 2017
The toilet is located inside the mosque's VIP room, which was built during former president Soeharto's administration for the country's special guests, said Istiqlal's spokesman Syaiful Haq.
He further said that inside the bathroom, the official had set a closet, which is 12 centimeters higher than any usual closets.
On the sides of the closet, there are handgrips that will help King Salman to sit and stand. Aside from that, the bathroom is also equipped with a thick rug to avoid getting slippery. The rug is placed near the door, called Al Malik.
"Al Malik alone means kingdom. Hence, [the toilet] is meant for a king or the country's special guests," Syaiful said as quoted by Kompas.com on Wednesday.
King Salman is scheduled to perform sunah prayer called Tahiyyatul in the mosque. However, it is unclear when the King will visit the mosque. He and Saudi's contingent will be in Jakarta from Mar. 1 to 4 before flying to Bali for vacation. (agn/dmr)
