I visited Singapore's Muslim Quarter...and learnt about the muslim communities who used to live here

Did you know Kampong Gelam was once a royal Malay settlement? 🕌✨ Long before it became a trendy cultural hotspot, it was the seat of Malay royalty in Singapore. In 1822, the area was allocated to Sultan Hussein Shah under the Raffles Town Plan, becoming the heart of the Malay and Muslim community. Traders and migrants from the Malay Archipelago and Arab world settled here, turning it into a vibrant port town and key hub for commerce and Hajj pilgrims. At its centre stands Sultan Mosque with its iconic golden domes, alongside Istana Kampong Gelam — the former royal palace now home to the Malay Heritage Centre. Streets like Arab Street and Haji Lane remain lined with conserved shophouses once home to spice merchants, textile traders and perfumers. Today, Kampong Gelam blends heritage with modern cafés, boutiques and street art — a living precinct where history and culture continue to thrive. 📍 Kampong Gelam — from royal seat to cultural heart 🔔 Like, comment & subscribe for more hidden Singapore stories 🇸🇬📜 Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z4EGNum78iH6M...
