A Trip to Malacca came to and end














From Parit Jawa we drove on for another one hour and arrived at Sultan Ismail Mosque in the heart of Batu Pahat Coastal town. This is one of the many huge and attractive mosques in Malaysia. I estimated that it can cater for 20,000 worshippers at one time.


This is one of the unique mosque as it has a dialysis centre. The car park is very spacious. Is is situated at the junction to Air Hitam and Muar.

After Qasr and Jamak Zuhr and Asr prayer, we stopped at carrefour batu Pahat for some sundries, milk powder and diapers for our beloved grand daughter Syifaa' Zakiroh. It was very crowded as the gigantic store was preparing high stocks for coming Chinese New year festivals which falls on 7 & 8 February 2008.


From there we headed straight for the North-South Higway heading south for Johore Bahru. However, shortly after entering the highway, it was raining very heavily. We stopped again at Machap and fell fast asleep at the car park while waiting for the rain to stop.


At 5:30 pm we started off again for second link at Tuas. After crossing the second link bridge, we stopped for maghrib paraye at Masjid Al-Khair in Choa Chu kang, Singapore.


On the way home we drop by visiting a cousin relative, whose mother passed away on saturday, while we were in Malacca.

Finally we were settled at home at around 9pm.

  1. Er... I think it's spelt as Zakirah but pronounced as Zakiroh lah kan...

    Please do remember to lock the doors and to open the window just a tiny crack when u sleep in the car. The latter is so that the carbon dioxide or something can travel out. Apparently pple had died of carbon dioxide poisoning or something like tt while staying in the car for too long.

  2. Thanks for your thoughtsand concern. Apparently we took it too easy on that.

    Some time back, we wanted to fix the accesories to prevent rain from coming into the car when we leave a tiny window crack for carbon monoxide to filter out and for fresh air to spurt into the car.

    But unfortunately it did not mayterialize, and what made it worst is that, there is now a biohazardous phenomena of suffocation when my polluted air spurt out in the car.
