Challenges
Mohammad Salleh Eusoff Angullia, an expatriate Sunni Muslim merchant from India, established the Angullia Mosque in 1890 in Singapore’s Little India. It has been a religious and social gathering place for locals and foreign workers for decades. Rebuilt once in the 1970’s, the building underwent another two-year renovation culminating with a joyful reopening in February 2020. The renovation doubled the prayer space to accommodate up to 2,500 congregants. Air conditioning upgrades and a new elevator enhance comfort and convenience. New spaces were added, including a dedicated area for female worshipers, classrooms, a multi-purpose auditorium hall, and a rooftop outdoor communal pavilion.A key goal of the renovation was to make worship more accessible for those at the mosque, as well as those attending over the internet. To support this goal, Singapore’s Islamic Religious Council engaged pro AV consultant Hazelbayu Studios Pte Ltd to design an AV system that equips the building to distribute audio and video to public and staff spaces throughout the mosque and surrounding grounds, as well as streaming to the internet for remote worshipers. Avitcom System Pte Ltd performed the AV system installation.
