mosques with impressive architecture
can you identify all the three mosques?
where are these mosques located?
hajjah faitmah mosque, beach road; sultan mosque, muscat street; and abdul gaffoor mosque, dunlop street.
cannot give any clue, otherwise using the key words, you can 'google' the answer.
i used to stay with a relative - during the school holidays - whose house was about 100 metres from one of these mosques but i had not known of its existence until i happened to eat teochew porridge at one of the shops along the same street many, many years later.
most of the worshippers of this particular mosque are indian muslims.

Actually, I cheated. I only know photo no. 2 - Sultan Mosque. But you forgot that there's Google Image Search. Do a google search using keywords "singapore mosques" and the answer script presents itself.
So next time, cannot even tell us what type of building they belong to. The first photo was taken at such an angle that made it look more like a church than a mosque. For the other two photos, it is obvious that they are mosques.
all three mosques are gazetted national monuments. sultan mosque was built in 1826, hajjah fatimah in 1846 and abdul gafoor mosque in 1907. two other mosques which are also national monuments are al abrar mosque and jamae mosque.
I only recognised the Sultan Mosque @ Kg Glam. Failed again ;(
chun see, the next building quiz will be that of a church. i am sure you will be able to identify it.
I won't be to sure about that. I have been going to the same church for nearly quarter century.
