SIMANGGANG: The Surau Darul Hasanah at Taman Harmoni in Sri Aman was declared open on Friday (Sep 4).
Simanggang assemblyman Datuk Francis Harden Hollis who graced the thanksgiving and opening ceremony of the surau said that the construction project was part of the government efforts to provide the needs for the local community.
