Gurdwara Sahib Sungai Siput Utara

Gurdwara Sahib Sungai Siput Utara (18 September 2016)


Gurdwara Sahib Sungai Siput Utara (GPS: 4.8153, 101.07857) is the place of worship for the Sikh community in Sungai Siput, Perak. It is located along the main road, which is Federal Route 1. The building has a large onion dome.

The Sikhs are said to have settled in Sungai Siput as early as the 1920s.¹ The construction of the gurdwara goes back to 1930, when the Sikhs built their first gurdwara a short distance from the present one. The present site of the gurdwara dates to the late 1970s, when the Sikh Sangat bought the land.

The present Gurdwara Sahib building was completed in 1981, and was officially open by the late Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, then Minister of Works, on 20 September 1981.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
