A Majestic Mosque of Victorian Architecture with unique Moorish designs, an added feature. Stands proud on a hill overlooking the Straits Aglow in the sun or moon among the world's greats! Named after Abu Bakar, a great Sultan of Johor, Though an Anglophile, his actions were folklore. For his people he wanted a large Mosque, on par With any in the world, a symbolic icon, a spar! Highly recommended to see this monument that harmonizes Islam in a Victorian element. Built circa 1900 Abu Bakar's dream mosque but completed by Ibrahim as an earnest task! Dr. Shanon

The Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple is a Hindu temple and reputedly the oldest in Malaysia. From the exterior, it’s an innocuous looking South Indian style temple with a gopuram. Inside the temple looks far more elaborate as it’s completely decorated in glass and glass mosaic. The decoration looks heavily influenced by Thai Buddhist temples, except that this temple has taken the glass to the extreme of having the glasswork everywhere. Other than the eye catching glassworks, the temple is fairly typical of Hindu temples with statues of deities dotted around the temple. Surprisingly, the temple also has sculptures of figures from religions including Christianity and Buddhism. Overall, a pretty temple with eye-catching interiors. The temple is to the north of the city centre and can be a pain to get to, especially if walking. I thought it was worth it nevertheless.

The temple is located in the midst of town area. However, the temple and surrounding looked cleanly maintained. The brightly painted temple tower/gopuram looked beautiful from outside with ornate carvings and devotional artwork. After prayer, find peaceful to spent some time inside. A must visit in Johor Bahru.
