Penang Muslim League

Liga Muslim Pulau Pinang (Penang Muslim League) when it was at Queen Street (5 February 2013)


The Penang Muslim League, or Liga Muslim Pulau Pinang, is an organization founded in 1949 to look after the welfare of the Muslims in the state. The founders are Indian Muslims who sought a platform for themselves to speak of issues of interest to them.

Among the founding figures of the organization include A.M. Abu Bakar, who went on to become the first president of the league, from 1954 to 1959, and S.M. Idris, who served as the second president, from 1960 to 1964.

The Penang Muslim League draws its support from various Muslim religious and merchantile associations as well as recreational clubs, among them the United Muslim Association, Anjuman Himayathul Islam, the Kadayanallor Muslim Association, the Bakery Owners Association, the Malayan Pakistan League, and others.
