Masjid Titi Papan, Burmah Road

Masjid Titi Papan (8 August 2006)


Masjid Titi Papan (GPS: 5.41723, 100.32966), or the Titi Papan Friday Mosque, is a small mosque along Burmah Road, at the junction of Khoo Sian Ewe Road. This mosque dates back to 1893, and is significant for being the point where the Prangin Canal used to reach. The canal, which is only visible for part of the way near Prangin Road, once connected to another canal that was later placed by Transfer Road. The mosque itself got its name from a plank bridge across the canal.

Transfer Road was created in 1867, and was so named to commemorate the "transfer" of administration of Penang from India to Singapore, under the Straits Settlements. Masjid Titi Papan used to be the community mosque for the Peranakan Jawis (Muslims of Indian and Malay parentage) that lived in a settlement around it in the mid 19th century. This community has long since disappeared, although further down Jalan Transfer, the Tamil Muslim community around Dato Koya Shrine still exists.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public.

I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
