Kampong Delta Mosque
Masjid Kampong Delta is a mosque located in Tiong Bahru within the Central Region, Singapore. It was first established in 1961 and then rebuilt as a larger mosque in 1990. It is one of the smallest mosques in the country.
History
In 1961, a surau was built for the residents in the Delta Avenue estate. This surau was later demolished and a proper mosque was built at the site which opened in 1975. Its opening was attended by Haji Rahmat bin Kenap, the Member of Parliament from the People's Action Party for Geylang Serai. In 1986, funds for upgrading the mosque were raised via the sale of food. Plans to further rebuild the mosque into a larger structure were confirmed in 1987. The structure of the rebuilt mosque was completed by 18 October 1990, however some interior decorations were not added to the finished structure due to insufficient funds. Further completion was dated to 1995.The new mosque served as a social centre as well, using hands-on activities like graffiti art to invite youth in 2005. However, the mosque was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and was closed on Fridays due to a massive lack of worshippers. After the end of the pandemic in 2022, the mosque continued functioning as normal and the number of worshippers went back to the average.
The mosque has been regarded as one of the smallest mosques in the country.
