Pulau Duyong Kecil, Kuala Terengganu

Kota Lama Duyong, the most famous building on Pulau Duyong Kecil (31 December 2006)


Pulau Duyong Kecil is an islet on the estuary of the Terengganu River, in Kuala Terengganu. It is located to the north of Pulau Duyong Besar, which is often known simply as Pulau Duyong. Over the years, sedimentation as well as land reclamation have merged the two islands together.

Pulau Duyong Kecil is renowned throughout Terengganu as a centre of Islamic teaching. This is primarily the result of the work of Tok Sheikh Duyong, a famous 19th century Muslim scholar.

The most famous building in Pulau Duyong Kecil is Kota Lama Duyong, a Malay residence originally built by the great grandson of Tok Sheikh Duyong, Dato Biji Sura, in 1920. Destroyed in the flood of 1986, it was rebuilt in the original form by restorers in 1999.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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