Data Info |
Masjid Omar Kampong Melaka, located at Keng Cheow Street, is the first mosque to be built in Singapore. It was established in 1820, just a year after the British came here by Syed Omar bin Ali Aljunied. The original structure was a temporary timber building, which was torn down and replaced by a brick mosque in 1855. The minaret was added in 1985. |
