Masjid Negara is a national legacy, which built between 1963 and 1965. The idea to build a national mosque to memorialize Malaysia’s independence was suggested by the Federal Executive Council a month before independence ceremony. The Chief Ministers of all eleven states in the-then Federation of Malaya brought up a proposal to name the mosque after the country’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj in March 1958 to recognize his contribution to the country’s independence. However, Tunku had declined this honour and suggested that the mosque be named Masjid Negara instead, to symbolize the country’s unity and multi-cultural harmony, as well as a way to give thanks to Allah for the country’s peaceful independence – achieved without a single drop of blood being shed.
