Geocache Description:


Masjid Titi Papan is a small mosque along Burmah Road at the junction of Khoo Sian Ewe Road. This mosque dates back to 1893, and is significant for being the point where the Prangin Canal used to reach. The canal, which is only visible for part of the way near Prangin Road, once connected to another canal that was later placed by Transfer Road. The mosque itself got its name from a plank bridge across the canal.

Masjid Titi Papan used to be the community mosque for the Peranakan Jawis (Muslims of Indian and Malay parentage) that lived in a settlement around it in the mid 19th century. This community has long since disappeared, although further down Jalan Transfer, the Tamil Muslim community around Dato Koya Shrine still exists.

The mosque is the first mosque in the state that administered by the Chinese Muslim community and it incorporated Chinese Muslim elements in its architecture, to reflect Chinese, Indian and Malay culture. The word mosque (清真寺) in Chinese calligraphy in front has been added since January 2019.
