Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:55:19

Founded in the late 1880s, this is Kampung Baru's principal mosque; it has recently been expanded and sports a handsome gateway decorated with eye-catching tiles in traditional Islamic patterns. Entry is permitted outside of prayer times and as long as you are respectfully attired.

Stalls around the mosque sell religious paraphernalia, including white kopia and black songkok , the traditional head coverings for Malay Muslim men. Outside the mosque, look for the map that shows the seven smaller villages that make up Kampung Baru.
