By the early 1900s, Singapore had become a centre for Islamic [[commerce]], [[culture]] and [[art]]. Sultan Mosque soon became too small for this burgeoning community. In 1924, the year of the mosque's [[centenary]], the trustees approved a plan to erect a new mosque. The old mosque had by then also fallen into a state of disrepair.

===Architecture===
=
[[Architect]] [[Denis Santry]] of [[Swan & Maclaren]] adopted a [[Indo-Saracenic|Saracenic]] style, incorporating [[minaret]]s and [[balustrade]]s. The mosque was completed after four years in 1928.
