There are at least two large mosques along Jalan Kedawang. The first that we passed by was Masjid Al Ihsaan (GPS: 6.29889, 99.73807) . This mosque the mosque for Kampung Temonyong. It has a double-tier hip roof topped with a cup-shaped dome with crimson lining, with a spire. The mosque has a large, spacious porch which is also topped with a cup shaped dome.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
