Haji Yusoff Mosque

The Masjid Haji Yusoff is located at 2 Hillside Drive off Upper Serangoon Road. It was built in 1921 by philantrophist Ahmad Mohamed Salleh Anguilla who had donated the land and money for its construction. Originally built of wood, it was destroyed in a fire in 1985...and rebuilt subsequently. In 1994 it was demolished and completely rebuilt again...as the photo shows. It serves the needs of Muslims in the area well.

This is the page from the month of September from the ATC Heritage Calendar 2009.

It shows the mosque at its original and present site at Hillside Drive.

The other photo is interesting too..showing a youthful looking trio of Minister S Dhanabalan, Sidek Saniff and our very own MP then..Dr Lau Teik Soon, with the Mosque management.

I wonder when this picture was taken?
