About Kampong Gelam

Kampong Gelam is the neighbourhood north of Bugis station. STB and the Malay Heritage Centre spell it Gelam. The community club and older maps still say Kampong Glam. The walk is Masjid Sultan at 3 Muscat Street, Istana Kampong Gelam / Malay Heritage Centre, Bussorah Street, Arab Street, then Haji Lane. Visitor windows at the mosque are typically 09:30–12:00 and 14:00–16:00, Friday afternoon only about 14:30–16:00. Malay Heritage Centre is closed Monday. Ramadan bazaar and Hari Raya are the local calendar. This is an area row. The mosque and Haji Lane are separate places. Do not fold Little India into this slug.
