Rising seas to cause threat to the world's most beautiful mosque

One of the most important shipping lanes in the world, the Strait of Malacca, in Malaysia is pa

rticularly vulnerable to Climate change. The Malay Government has long known this. Even during colonial times, tidal stations were set up to monitor sea levels in the country. According to the Sea Level Monitoring Network, "there are 12 tidal stations along the coast of Sabah and Sarawak". But, this has not stopped such improbable developments as the Malacca Island- the first "Twin Island City Center"-0 on the southern shore of which the Malacca Straits Mosque was built. The Mosque was completed towards the end of 2009 and cost 3.3 million. Although there is nothing green about it, it would be a shame to see such a beautiful building swallowed up by water, of which there is a very strong chance.
