The Malacca Straits Mosque (Malay: Masjid Selat Melaka) is a mosque located on the artificial Malacca Island in Malacca City, Malaysia, which was opened on 24 November 2006 by the Supreme Ruler of Malaysia (Yang di-Pertuan Agong) Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Syed Putra Jamalullail and was constructed at a cost of about MYR10 million.[1][2] It was built using a mix of Middle Eastern and Malay craftsmanship and looks like a floating structure when the water level is high. The mosque has two intersecting archways that lead to the main entrance, and stained glass covers the space in between the arches. The compound has a 30 metre-tall minaret that is also used as a lighthouse.[3]
