Mosque Management Board (1st July 2006 to 30th June 2008).
The mosque was built in 1917 and was managed by the Muslim Trust Fund Association (MTFA) until 1968. This has made the Khalid Mosque famous for good food that is available there during occations on the Muslim calendar.
The Khalid Mosque has kept its original structure with minor alterations to accommodate its growing congregation. The late owner of the land, Haji Abdul Khalid.bin Haji Mohamed Tyeb a philanthropist and businessman, on the suggestion of this group of peddlers agreed to turn the land into a wakaf (Muslim property dedicated for the pious, religious or charitable purposed) mosque and named it Masjid Khalid.
The first Imam of the mosques was Almarhum Syeikh Osman bin Syaikh Omar AlGanus, an Arab from Palembang. The mosque now comes under the administrativeof the Islamic Religious Council Singapore.
A group of kandar peddlers selling Malay food used to rest on the site where the Khalid Mosque is now situated. Almarhum Syeikh Osman was also a great cook and the tradition of preparing food at the mosque still lives on today. He was also a famous Qadi (registrar of Muslim marriages) in Singapore at that time. In 1996, major renovation were carried out to restore the building to its present splendour.
