Reflections

If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days. ~Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Masjid Sultan & Newater Visitor Centre, Singapore

The Sultan Mosque, named after the first Sultan of Singapore, was built with a SGD3,000 grant from the East India Company. It is the largest mosque in Singapore and the present building was constructed in 1928. With its massive gold-topped dome and spacious prayer hall, the mosque has one particularly interesting feature--the base of the dome is made up of glass bottles.





The NEWater Visitor Centre offers visitors a totally different experience to explore and witness first-hand how water for Singaporeans is being processed using advanced membrane and ultraviolet technologies.
