Masjid Pertempatan Melayu Sembawang, or the Sembawang Malay Settlement Mosque is probably the last kampong-style mosque on mainland Singapore. It harkens back to the days when the area was a collection of Malay fishing villages. Built in 1963, it served the rural Malay population of the area, and was the venue of the various religious celebrations, rituals and community events integral to the Islamic faith of the local community in the last half a century.
Due to development, all the rural Malay villages are no more, and their residents relocated to the HDB new towns. But, yet, the mosque remains in place as a reminder of the area's past. It still faithfully serves its purpose, and occasionally hosts camps for local kids who would join to enjoy the nearby beach.
By the mosque is a burial site for stillborn babies and placenta (whom must go through special rites when buried) and an old rubber tree that is believed to be sacred. Other than that, there really is nothing else to see but lots of greenery and narrow roads that is increasingly becoming a rare sight in other parts of Singapore.
