Masjid Jamek Hashim Yahaya (GPS: 5.40652, 100.31503) is a Malay mosque at Kampung Dodol, off Perak Road in George Town, Penang. It was founded by Hashim Yahaya, who also put in trust an 8-acre piece of land that today becomes the neigboring Kampung Dodol, which has 107 village houses.
Masjid Jamek Hashim Yahaya traces its history to 1872 although the surrounding land have been settled much earlier, possibly before the establishment of George Town as a British trading post, since Tamil Muslims and Acehnese have already founded villages along the banks of Sungai Pinang by the late 18th century. The land is also called Dato Keramat, as it is the location of the Perak Road Malay Cemetery, because a Muslim ascetic was buried there.

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.
