Mr. Yoon Thim Lee, also known as Y.T.Lee is a famous Malaysia Chinese architect in 1950s and 1960s., who helped ‘Build Merdeka’ after Malaysian Independence, 1963. . His notable landmark included Chin Woo Stadium, UMNO Building, Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, Chinese Maternity Hospital, Federal hotel, Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru, Masjid Ar- Rahman Kg. Tunku and Majid Al-Ubudiyah. In addition to his famous mosques in Kuala Lumpur, he also worked on middle eastern and islamic architecutre project, for example, Masjid Al- Ubudiyah in Kerling ( a modest mosque), Hulu Selangor, which is opened in 1960. When this masjid is built, there was no electricity supply yet. The repetitive patterns for the fencing, the rounded arch windows, and the pointed arches between the columns in Masjid Al- Ubudiyah shows the similarity between the window design and material used in Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur. . This is highly unusual for a mosque is the incorperation of a window in the mihrab. Somehow now it has being used as a teaching place by the locals.
