Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque - Johor Bahru
The mosque was built between 1892 and 1900 under the direction of Sultan Abu Bakar. His anglophile sentiments are clearly visible in the colonial English Victorian architecture of the building, with the minarets designed in the form of British 19th century clock towers.

Armenian Church of Singapore
The Armenian Apostolic Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator is the first Christian church built in Singapore in 1835.
The vaulted ceiling and cupola are based on traditional Armenian Church architecture.
Within the quiet tropical garden surrounding the church lie tomb markings of Armenians who died in Singapore. The tombstones were transported here in the early 1970’s from the Bukit Timah Cemetery.
