Jalan Masjid, George Town, Penang

Jalan Masjid, George Town, Penang (30 November 2022)


Jalan Masjid, formerly known as Mesjid Road or Mosque Street, is a small, almost obscure road off Chulia Street in George Town, Penang. It was named after Masjid Ali Arshahan, one of the small Indian Muslim mosques located along this part of Chulia Street. The mosque was founded in 1840 but is no longer in use. Next to it is a Muslim burial ground that is still there, along with Makam Maulana Miskin Waliallah, one of the Indian Muslim mausoleums from the early part of the 20th century.

Erected along Jalan Masjid are double-storey shophouses in the Straits Eclectic style. These date from the 1930's, as the area around Chulia Street began to take on a more Chinese appearance, with the decline in the Indian Muslim population.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
