The Sheung Shui Mosque and Islamic Centre (traditional Chinese: 上水清真寺暨伊斯蘭中心; simplified Chinese: 上水清真寺暨伊斯兰中心; pinyin: Shàngshuǐ Qīngzhēnsì Jì Yīsīlán Zhōngxīn) is a proposed mosque and Islamic centre currently under construction in Fanling–Sheung Shui New Town, North District, New Territories, Hong Kong.

The funds for the hoarding works were raised by UMAH concurrently from generous support of the Hong Kong Muslim community.

Unfortunately, UMAH's efforts of staying current on rent payments (at present until end of September 2020) on the Land does not waive the Government's rights of re-entry (Cap.

Of the two Relief Options above, the most pragmatic avenue is for UMAH to petition for the Chief Executive to use her authority to dismiss the Memorial and allow continuation of the construction works to resume.

UMAH is asserting that the Memorial was unduly served, especially as the project commenced in December 2019 and due to the following reasons, which the Lands Department is aware of: ● 2010-2019: Restructuring Period of UMAH; ● 2019: Hong Kong protests and social unrest (including locally in the New Territories); and ● 2020: Lockdown of Hong Kong due to COVID-19 pandemic.
