Masjid Lama Tanjong Huma Batu Ferringhi

Masjid Lama Tanjong Huma Batu Ferringhi (7 December 2008)


Masjid Lama Tanjong Huma is a small Malay mosque in Batu Ferringhi. The mosque, which started as a surau (prayer hall), serves the Muslim community of Kampung Tanjong Huma, a Malay fishing village that used to be located in the area where Rasa Sayang Resort is located today. The mosque itself is in front of Golden Sands Resort, right across from the junction of Jalan Sungai Emas.

It is often hard to remember that Batu Ferringhi was once pockets of Malay fishing villages, before beach development started to encroach on the area, changing its characteristic forever. Masjid Lama Tanjong Huma is a remnant of the earlier days where the pace of life is less hurried. Well, the villagers probably still long for the unhurried pace, but it would be now a challenge to keep still when everything else is moving around you. Masjid Lama Tanjong Huma seems to have been completely engulfed by the beach resort right behind it.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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