Junction of Jalan Haji Hashim Imam with Sungai Pinang Road (6 October 2012)
Jalan Haji Hashim Imam is a country road in the Sungai Pinang area of George Town, Penang. The L-shaped road connects with the Jelutong Main Road on one end and with Jalan Ahmad bin Haji Rahman on the other. In between it intersects with Sungai Pinang Road.
Jalan Haji Hashim Imam was originally a rural road for the Malay settlement of Sungai Pinang, which developed on the south side of Sungai Pinang. The road was created in the early 20th century, though the Malay settlement traces its beginnings to the pre-Francis Light era, when early Sumatran traders arrived at the estuary of the river. In the third quarter of the 19th century, the Malays there polarised into two factions, resulting in two main mosques in the area, Masjid Maqbul and Masjid Jamek Sungai Pinang.
Jalan Haji Hashim Imam was named after a religious teacher and imam of the Masjid Jamek Sungai Pinang. His full name is Haji Muhammad Hashim bin Muhammad Salleh (1870-1948). It is laid to rest at the Bayan Lepas Malay Cemetery. Haji Hashim Imam is credited with establishing the Malay settlement in Permatang Damar Laut as well as Kampung Masjid in Bayan Lepas.

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. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. 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.
