Muzium (Museum of) Labuan
Before leaving Labuan we paid a visit to its main museum in the middle of town.
Kelihatan di perkarangan beberapa memorial yang menandakan beberapa peristiwa bersejarah.
Seen in its compound are a number of memorials signifying a number of historical events.
Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Labuan
After more than a week of silence we return to the story-telling on places visited in the journey to Brunei, at this juncture bringing us again to Labuan.
Ini adalah masjid jamek Labuan.
This is the main mosque of Labuan.
Lihat menara azannya yang tajam meninggi.
Look at its call to prayers towers rising high and sharp.
Lihat pula kubahnya yang kelihatan seperti satu bahagian roket...
Look in turn at its dome which looks like part of a rocket...
Kombinasi rupa pelik ini mengingatkan pada watak robot boleh bertukar rupa dalam filem Hollywood "The Transformers".
This combination of odd-looking shapes reminds one of the shape-shifting robot charaters in the Hollywood film "The Transformers".
Mari kita lihat lebih dekat...
Let us have a closer look...
Masjid ini dirasmikan tahun 1988.
This mosque was officiated in the year 1988.
Let us go inside...
Have to climb up the staircase.
