Masjid Jamek Simpang Enam




Masjid Jamek Simpang Enam is a small heritage mosque along Jalan Macalister, between the junctions of Lorong Macalister and Jalan Penang. Also called Masjid Jamek Haji Wahab, this mosque dates back to 1897 when it was founded on the endowment land (wakaf) of Haji Abdul Wahab. At that time, there was a six-point junction where Macalister Road meets Penang Road, Gladstone Road, Magazine Road, Brick Kiln Road and Dato' Kramat Road. Today Gladstone Road has entirely been erased from the map under the Komtar development.

Getting there

Masjid Jamek Simpang Enam is located near the start of Jalan Macalister. From the Komtar Bus Terminal, walk along Jalan Tek Soon to Jalan Penang. Cross Jalan Penang and turn left. Walk along Jalan Penang until you arrive at the junction of Jalan Macalister. Turn right into Jalan Macalister and you will arrive at Masjid Jamek Simpang Enam on your right.
