Around Masjid Sultan and Kampung Gelam

Continued from The tomb of the princess Radin Mas.

From Teluk Belanga we went to Bukit (hill of) Singapura now known as Fort Canning Hill. Next we went to the eastern fringe of the city where lies an area which used to be a traditional Malay stronghold.

For it is here that lies the palace of the last Sultan of Singapura, a palace which has been turned into a heritage museum.

A Bugis boat displayed in front. For the record this whole area is known as Kampung (village of) Gelam.

Not far from the palace cum museum lies the most well-known mosque in Singapura aptly known as Masjid (mosque of the) Sultan.

The shoplots nearby. This whole area has been turned into a heritage attraction.
