Masjid Jamek Batu Maung

Masjid Jamek Batu Maung (7 February 2018)


Masjid Jamek Batu Maung (GPS: 5.28125, 100.28372) is a new mosque along Jalan Permatang Damar Laut, in Batu Maung, Penang. The mosque was completed in 2016. Construction cost was RM3.7million of which RM3million was funding from the state government while the remainder was donation from the general public. The new mosque can accommodate 1,000 worshippers at any one time.

The new Masjid Jamek Batu Maung replaces the old mosque. According to the people I spoke to when I visited the mosque, the original building is over seventy years old. Unfortunately they were unaware of its history.

The Masjid Jamek Batu Maung has a more recent annex built about a decade ago. The old and new mosque buildings stand side by side. In front of the mosque is a Malay cemetery, which is part of the mosque compound.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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