 Istiqlal mosque preps VIP toilet for Saudi's
King  
Istiqlal Grand Mosque in Central Jakarta has prepared a special toilet for King Salman bin
Abdulaziz Al Saud.

The toilet which was built during former president Soeharto's administration for the
country's special guests is located inside the mosque's VIP room, said Istiqlal's spokesman
Syaiful Haq.

He further said that inside the bathroom, the official had set a 12 centimeters closet, which
is 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 which is placed near the door to avoid getting slippery called Al Malik.

"Al Malik means kingdom. Hence, [the toilet] is meant for a king or the country's special
guests," Syaiful said on Wednesday.
King Salman is scheduled to perform sunah prayer called Tahiyyatul Masjid. However, it is
still unclear when the King will visit the mosque. He and Saudi's contingent will be in
Jakarta from March 1st to 4th before flying to Bali.
