Masjid (Mosque of) Laksamana Hang Tuah, Duyung, Melaka

Ini pula dari perjalanan kembali ke kampung di Muar hujung minggu baru ini.

This in turn is from the trip to return to my native village in Muar the recent weekend.

Sampai ke bandaraya Melaka saya telah singgah di Kampung Duyung di mana terdapat masjid ini.

Upon reaching the city of Melaka I made a stop at Kampung (village of) Duyung where lies this mosque.

Menurut ceritanya Kampung Duyung adalah tempat di mana watak legenda Laksamana Hang Tuah membesar lebih 500 tahun lalu.

According to the stories Kampung Duyung is the place where the legendary character Laksamana (something like the royal admiral) Hang Tuah grew up more than 500 years ago.

Masjid ini pernah dikenali sebagai Masjid Kampung Duyung. Rujuk pada artikel lama Perigi (well of) Hang Tuah, Masjid (mosque of) Duyung serta (and) Kampung Hulu. Nampaknya ia telah ditukarnama kepada Masjid Jamek Laksamana Hang Tuah baru lagi.

This mosque was known as Masjid Kampung Duyung. Refer to the old article Perigi (well of) Hang Tuah, Masjid (mosque of) Duyung serta (and) Kampung Hulu. It seems it has been renamed as Masjid Jamek Laksamana Hang Tuah recently.
