Masjid Angullia, also known as Angullia Mosque, is a mosque in Singapore. It is a recognisable landmark of the Little India district, and a key symbol of the Indian Muslim community. The mosque was built on wakaf land donated by Gujarati businessman Mohamed Salleh Eusoofjee Angullia in 1890. Since 2014, the gatehouse of the original building has been gazetted as a Conserved Building by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore. Today, the mosque is frequented by Muslim workers and visitors of Little India as one of the two surviving mosques in the area, the other being Masjid Abdul Gaffoor.

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple
Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple (Tamil: ஸ்ரீ வீரமாகாளியம்மன் கோவில்; Chinese: 维拉马卡卡拉曼庙), also known earlier as Soonambu Kambam Kovil, is a Hindu temple located in the middle of Little India in the southern part of Singapore. The temple started as a shrine dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali in 1855 before a temple was built by Bengali labourers in 1881.Images of Kali within the temple show her wearing a garland of skulls and ripping out the insides of her victims, and Kali sharing more peaceful family moments with her sons Ganesha and Murugan. The building is constructed in the style of South Indian Tamil temples common in Tamil Nadu as opposed to the style of Northeastern Indian Kali temples in Bengal, where Her worship is extremely widespread but the style of temple construction differs considerably. This temple has also been used to shelter people from Japanese air raids during the horrid period of World War 2 In 2018, the Charities Commissioner has barred the temple's chairman Sivakadacham, former chairman R Selvaraju, and secretary Ratha Krishnan Selvakumar from their posts, after the three, who were cheque signatories and approvers for payments, issued more than $1.5 million in uncrossed cheques. Of these, 45 cheques – totalling more than $227,000 – were not issued to the names of the intended recipients of the proceeds. The inquiry also revealed that Ratha had obtained loans of $350,000 without the management committee's approval and with no written loan agreements with the lenders. Cash loans and disbursements of proceeds from the loans were also not properly accounted for in the temple's records.
