Sungai Gelugor, Penang

Sungai Gelugor is a Malay estuarine village in Gelugor, Penang. It is one of the early Malay settlements on the island. The early inhabitants of Sungai Gelugor were mostly fishermen who dwell along the mouth of the Gelugor river. They outlived the clearing of Gelugor, first for the establishment of plantations by the Browns, and later on for military, education, communication and residential uses. The traditional village of Sungai Gelugor is anchored by Masjid Jamek Sungai Gelugor to the north, and by the army camp to the south. It is today bordered by Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah to the west, and the Sungai Nibong Expressway to the east.
