Construction of the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque began in 1982, and the mosque was opened on 11 March, 1988. The mosque has a central cup-shaped dome which is the largest dome on a religious building in the world. The dome is 51.2m (167ft) in diameter and is 106.7m (350ft) in height at the central spire. The prayer hall is surrounded by four minarets in a quincunx arrangement with the dome. Each minaret has a height of 142.3m (460ft), making them the second tallest minarets in the world, after the minaret of the Hassan II Mosque of Casablanca, which is 210m (689ft) in height. Due to the colour of the cup-shaped dome, the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque is often called the Blue Mosque.

About this website

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.
