EZRA CHAN YI

Ezra is always ready with a smile. He doodles all the time. His doodling interests range from pigeons to seaweed, to daily scenes. Ezra also expresses well with his abstract executions – a riot of colours and shapes – possibly a glimpse of how his mind visualises his surroundings.

The original mosque was built in 1824–1826 for Sultan Hussein Shah, but by the 1920s it had fallen into disrepair and was replaced with the present structure. Designed by Denis Santry of Swan & Maclaren, the mosque blends Islamic and Indian architectural elements, and its gold domes — ringed with glass bottle ends donated by community members — make it one of Singapore’s most beloved landmarks.
