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.
Getting there
Masjid Jamek Batu Maung is on the main road of Batu Maung. Rapid Penang Bus Nos. 302, 305 and 307 pass by the mosque.

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.
