Shrine of Radin Mas

Kampong Radin Mas was a small Malay village situated on the foothills of Mount Faber in Telok Blangah.

According to legend, Radin Mas Ayu was a young and very beautiful princess. After her mother was murdered, she fled Java for Singapore together with her father, the crown prince, to avoid persecution at the hands of her uncle, the sultan. The area that was named after her was where her home was located when she first landed in Singapore.

She was buried near her first home at Telok Blangah. The tomb and a shrine, locally known as Makam Puteri Radin Mas, still stands today at Mount Faber Road, near the junction with Telok Blangah Road. There is an old village mosque nearby that also bears her name.
