Founded in 1912, Madrasah Alsagoff Al-Arabiah is the oldest madrasah in Singapore. Started as a boys' school, this Islamic institution took in girls in the 1940s and is now an all-girls school. Its compelling architecture has attracted many artists to sketch or paint it, including Pak Idris who has captured many heritage buildings and places in Singapore in watercolour.
