Kompleks Falak Al-Khawarizmi, Malacca (16 September 2016)
Kompleks Falak Al-Khawarizmi (GPS: 2.29479, 102.08408) is the largest Muslim astronomy centre in Malaysia. It is located in Tanjung Bidara, in Masjid Tanah, Malacca. The complex was completed in 2007, and was opened by then prime minister, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, on 1 December of that year. It comprises three main buildings namely the observatory, the planetarium and a learning centre. The construction of this Muslim astronomy complex is hoped to provide the locals the impetus to increase their knowledge in the field.
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.
