 
Kampong Kling's Mosque
Architecturally intriguing, it is one of the oldest surviving mosques
in the country. The Sumatran influence is readily apparent from
its three-tiered pyramid-shaped roof, in place of the more conventional
dome. The free-standing minaret resembles a pagoda, again reflecting
an infusion of Oriental influences. Freshly painted, it continues
to serve faithfully as a popular venue of worship for the local
Muslim community.
The mosque is open to visitors but do observe the rules and common
practices of the premises. (e.g. do not, among other things, appear
in shorts or mini skirts)
