Known as the royal city or 'Bandar Di Raja', Kuala Kangsar, Perak has many unique historical buildings. These includes the Clifford School, Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) and one of the oldest hospital building.
One of the tourist attraction in Kuala Kangsar is Masjid Ubudiah, located near to the Royal Palace of Perak. Masjid Ubidiah has a round shape praying hall (regular decagon: 10 sides and 10 angles), slightly different from the normal rectangular shape of other masjids. Thus, after our technical meeting and having our lunch at Kuala Kangsar, me and 2 of my colleagues head our way to Masjid Ubidiah in a mission to experience the beauty of the building and to capture its image in our memory card.
