San Hai Kong Temple (GPS: 5.3859, 100.31588) in Jelutong is one of several temples and shrines dedicated to the worship of the Taoist deity Mazu, or as is known by the local Hokkien community, Ma Chor Poh. It is located at the end of Jalan Bukit Dumbar. The name of the temple translates as "Hill and Sea Temple". It indeed once faced the sea, but due to land reclamation, is now land bound.
At the time I explored the temple, it appears to have been rebuilt and expanded. According to the resident of the neighbouring house, the temple has been built over and expanded a few times already.From the bus stop along Jalan Jelutong (served by Rapid Penang bus 301, 302, 303 and 401), walk down Jalan Dumbar to reach the temple. The walk takes about 5-10 minutes.

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.
