MASJID SULTAN ABU BAKAR, JOHOR BAHRU

. 

The Moorish-styled mosque has a strategically position on top of a hill. The 8 year construction of the mosque was completed in 1900, under the direction of Sultan Abu Bakar. It's one of the most beautiful mosque in Malaysia. It was built to accommodate 2000 worshippers at any one time.

The magnificient Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque, perched a top a hill at Jalan Masjid.

Tuan Haji Mohamed Arif bin Punak was the architect of the mosque. He intentionally based much of its appearance on colonial English Victorian architecture as noted by the minarets that take form of British 19th century clocktowers. The architecture of the mosque additionally includes some Moorish architecture elements, along with some minor Malay influence.

Tuan Haji Mohamed Arif bin Punak was supervised by the Johor goverment engineer, Dato' Yahya bin Awalludin who communicated the Anglophile sentiments of Sultan Ibrahim ibni Sultan Abu Bakar who was the Sultan of Johor at that time. This anglophile influence can futher be seen in the British architectural influences not only on the Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque but also in several others government and palace buildings in Johor constructed during the same period.

The mosque sits on the top of a prominent hill, overlooking the Straits of Johor. The mosque is named for Sultan Abu Bakar, the father of Sultan Ibrahim who ordered its construction.

That's all for the history of Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque.

This is view from top of the hills.

Next, I want tell you guys about Pasar Karat. 

Pasar Karat is a night market in the centre of Johor Bahru, Johor. Also known as Bazaar Karat JB or Segget. Local people called it Segget because its located along Jalan Segget and Jalan Tan Hiok Nee. For those who are never visit yet or unfamiliar with Johor Bahru, the main throughfare in Pasar Karat is Jalan Wong Ah Fook. Pasar Karat is been hidden by the building along Jalan Wong Ah Fook. You guys can find it actually. You guys can see the OCBC bank when you through Jalan Wong Ah Fook. When you find the OCBC bank, you can see Jalan Segget.

The operation time of Pasar Karat is 7pm until 1am. Pasar Karat opened at night only. When the first timer come to Pasar Karat, they probably assume that Pasar Karat JB looked same like downtown Shah Alam. They may be similar but there are different. 

For those who loves TV shows Running Man, at here they sells running man shirt, snapback that has same design like the 7 members of Running Man.

They also sells handphone's accessories.

Its so many things that are sold at here such as preloved, clothes and others. Sometimes people wondering, its Pasar Karat, and should be an oldschool stuff. In my opinion, people sometimes demanding and more interest on a new brand fashion or local accessories.
