My group and I went to the Sultan Mosque located at Arab Street. The tour guide took us inside the mosque as we had to answer questions in our worksheets. We also learnt that this majestic building was bulit in honour of Sultan Hussein of Singapore. It replaced an older mosque with a tiered roof. Some of Sultan Hussien's relatives were buried under the prayer hall.
This is the main prayer hall of the Sultan Mosque. We learnt that we must take off our shoes and put them on the shoe rack outside the mosque, We also learnt that if a malay person were to make a prayer, He will have to clean himself using the taps at the courtyards before entering the prayer hall and he will have to face the South-East direction when he prays.
This is the Istana Kampong Glam located Sultan Gate. This street is named Sultan Gate because it leads to an istana at the end of the road. A high brick wall surrounds the Istana Kampong Glam. At the entrance of Sultan Gate, there was a small house called the Pondok Jawa on the left side of the road.
