Domes (generally depicted as onion-like), turrets, classical columns, pilasters, pointed arches, keystones, pediments and cornice plasterwork and capitals are common features found in colonial Malay mosques11. Indeed, British architects had, by the turn of the century, combined Moorish influence with Indonesian design and Western classical elements, portraying an Islamic image in mosques. The most notable example of this architecture can be found in the Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque in Johor Bahru, Johor. The Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque has four wings with minarets, pinnacles and domes, all wrapped in classical Western European art and embellishments12. Another interesting example is the Jamek Mosque in Muar, Johor, which is a combination of classical baroque style and Moorish influence13. Rather than a mosque, the Jamek Mosque depicts a public building commonly constructed in 17th- and 18th-century Europe, featuring a complexity of forms and decorative elements. Both of these mosques are from Johor, a city that was heavily influenced by one of Britain's largest nearby mosques
