Lonely Planet review for Malay Heritage Centre

This dignified terracotta-tiled heritage centre is set back against a large garden and was once the Malay royal istana (palace), built in 1843 for Singapore’s last sultan, Ali Iskandar Shah. An agreement allowed the palace to stay in the sultan’s family as long as they continued to live there. This was repealed in 1897, but the family stayed on for another century, the palace gradually sliding into ruin.
