Interesting facts
Mustafa Centre opened on Syed Alwi Road in April 1995 as a department store with a hotel, after the business had bought up neighbouring shophouses. It has since grown to about 400,000 sq ft and returned to round-the-clock opening in September 2024.
When Little India's conservation area was extended after its first gazette in 1989, additional buildings along Syed Alwi Road, Desker Road and Jalan Besar were protected.
According to Roots, Syed Alwi Road was one of the places in this district where the Chinese community gathered during the 19th century.
