Gurdwara Sahib Tanjung Malim

Gurdwara Sahib Tanjung Malim (GPS: 3.69342, 101.52432) is the place of worship for Tanjung Malim's Sikh community. It is a two-storey building on the main road of the town. The history¹ of the gurdwara can be traced back to the 1920s, though exactly when it was built is not known. The Sikhs in Tanjung Malim made a living as dairy farmers as well as bullock cart drivers. That early gurdwara, which was built of wooden planks, was demolished in 1931.

To replace the demolished building, the Sikhs of Tanjung Malim pooled their resources to purchase a 2-acre piece of land, for Straits Dollars $750. The land was on a low ground and was probably prone to flooding, so the members had to bring in earth and stones to fill up the ground. They built their gurdwara which stood on concrete stilts. This building lasted until 2003, when it was demolished for the construction of the present Gurdwara Sahib.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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