Bussorah Street was said to be named after a city in Iraq, Basra. Along the street, we noticed that the available shops sold things that caters to Javanese influences such as batik designed clothes and handcrafted goods i.e: angklung. Most of this influence can be seen from the shop named 'Malay Art Gallery'.
Another interesting fact we found out about Bussorah Street is how it was a transit area for Indonesians who are carrying out their hajj. This street was a place for pilgrims to sleep and wait for their flight in Singapore.
