Masjid Haji Yusoff

Masjid Haji Yusoff is the oldest mosque in Hougang and was built in 1921 on land donated by Gujarati merchant and philanthropist Ahmad Mohamed Salleh Angullia. It was such a prominent landmark in the area that the Chinese name for the section of the road near the mosque was Sembahyang Tng (a combination of the Malay word for “prayers” and the Hokkien word for “pavilion” respectively). The mosque now serves as a hub for the Malay-Muslim community living in the Hougang and Upper Serangoon areas.
