Pertandingan Catur Desa Subang Permai (DSP)

Hari ini satu pertandingan catur telah di adakan di Dewan Masjid At-Taqwa, Desa Subang Permai, Shah Alam. Pertandingan ini adalah anjuran Biro Pendidikan Masjid tersebut bersama Biro IT Subang Permai dengan kerjasama Insofar Chess Academy. 

Satu perkembangan yang menarik di mana gabungan masjid dan sukar catur dianggap jarang berlaku di negara ini. Pertandingan tersebut merupakan satu program pengisian waktu cuti sekolah yang amat bermanafaat di samping mempromosi sukan catur di kalangan penduduk Desa Subang Permai.
