A traveller's reflection: 2025 Kembara Ramadhan Day 10: Kuala Lumpur

My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

On the way we visited Masjid Kampung Paloh, one of the oldest mosque in Ipoh, Perak. Located at Jalan Datoh, the mosque was built in 1912 by Wan Muhammad Saleh, superintendent of Penghulus and assistant collector of Land Revenue during the Frank Swettenham administration. The construction was funded by two prominent wealthy people at that time, one of them is Long Kassim. As an appreciation to him, the administration of the mosque is managed by Long Kassim's grandchildren until now. The present structure has been extensively renovated but the original five-tiered minaret and mausoleum of its founder still remain in their original form. The mausoleum features a two tiered gabled roof and its enclosure comprises a half wall with balustrades and is next to the mosque. This mosque is considered among the oldest mosques in Ipoh, Perak.

From Ipoh we drove direct to KL. Arrived at our Bidara house just in time for Zohor prayers. Rested the whole afternoon. Tonight we had iftar and solat terawih at Masjid At-Tayyibin.

Alhamdulillah...
