Masjid Jamae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jamae Mosque[lower-alpha 1] is one of the earliest mosques in Singapore, and is located on South Bridge Road in the Chinatown district within the Central Area. The mosque was established in 1826. This mosque is also known as Chulia Mosque[lower-alpha 2] and Periya Paḷḷi[lower-alpha 3] among the Tamil Muslim community in Singapore.[2] Together with its neighbour, Sri Mariamman Temple, the mosque stands out in its predominantly Chinese location. The Mosque Street that runs beside it may have been named after this mosque.[3]
