Masjid Jamek Sungai Tiram, Penang

Masjid Jamek Sungai Tiram is a Malay mosque for the village of Sungai Tiram in Bayan Lepas. At the time that it was founded, the mosque was surrounded by a village, with small lanes going in from the main road of Bayan Lepas. Today the main road, renamed Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, is a busy road connecting the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone to the Penang International Airport.

Masjid Jamek Sungai Tiram has moved according to the time. No longer is it a small, wooden structure. The mosque has been expanded and rebuilt in bricks. Development is engulfing the mosque, which result in the traditional village being swept away.
