Bomb Threat?

Although my recent trip to Singapore was rather pleasant there's a snag with the customs. They are paranoid as hell. Anything stuffed with wires are suspected to be some kind of bomb or spy stuffs. That's what happened with my gadget satchel put in my hand luggage. They scrambled to unravel the content of my bag only to find some chargers. I told them it was chargers but they won't listen.

I think they should chill out a bit when checking Malaysians. For me, we are the one who are most unlikely to blow up Singapore since many of us are related with the islanders one way or another. Never ever we want to harm our family and friends.

Sultan Mosque

During my recent trip to Singapore on Saturday, I had the opportunity to visit Sultan Mosque at Muscat Street. Disembarking at Bugis MRT Station, the mosque is a short walk away.



Situated near the Kampung Gelam Palace, this mosque have it's own cultural significance being the oldest mosque at the island. It still houses the beduk although not being used anymore but the mosque still burn incense to give a pleasant aroma throughout.

I had little time to fully appreciate the mosque and learn more about it's history. Insya'Allah, I'll return one day to do a proper photo op and documentation. Anyway, thanks a lot to Bro. Ridzwan for being my tour guide there.
