One of the oldest mosques in Malaysia; parking could be congested during peak prayer times and festive seasons; a chosen place for newlyweds photography; and a very serenity place for Muslims to pray.

This complex is simply lovely. Not only you get to visit Tun Dr Mahathir’s family home but you get to visit small museum buildings related to the man. It was a lovely experience. And oh, the public toilets were amazing. This complex is very well maintained. Must visit. Free entrance.
