Masjid Jamek Jalan Hatin, Penang (9 January 2016)
Masjid Jamek Jalan Hatin (GPS: 5.42161, 100.3282), or Hutton Lane Jamek Mosque, is an old Malay mosque along
Hutton Lane. It served the once substantial Malay community that lived around Hutton Lane, including
Ariffin Road,
Jalan Sekerat and
Jalan Dinding.
Considering its proximity to the home of the late 19th century Malay entrepreneur Mohd Ariff Mohamed Tajoodin, there is a high possibility that Mohd Ariff was instrumental in the establishment of Masjid Jamek Jalan Hatin. If not him, then perhaps his son Wanchee Ariffin, who built
Masjid Wan Chik Ariffin in
Perak Road.
