Gurdwara Sahib Selayang, Selangor, Malaysia

This Gurdwara was established around the 1970’s to serve the needs of Sikhs settled around the Gombak area mainly in Selayang, Batu Caves and the surrounding areas.

The Gurdwara has two unique circular stairs that lead up to the Darbar Sahib on the second floor. Many Sikh families reside nearby the Gurdwara, allowing for a healthy amount of programs to be held regularly.

Officially known as Gurdwara Sahib Selayang Baru, it has had discussions to relocate in recent times, the nostalgia and heritage it holds keep bringing the sangat to try to maintain its current location despite those discussion.

It runs regular Punjabi school sessions, and for a gurdwara set up by elders who were civil servants, farmers, cattle herders and tradesmen, many of their descendants are now professionals in various fields.

Gurdwara Sahib Malim Nawar, Perak, Malaysia

Founded in 1926, originating from a community that settled in the area during the 1920s to work in tin mines, dairy farming, and transport. Which was the story of alot of Sikh settlers in Perak.

Originally established at Kampung Bunga Tanjung, roughly 3 km away from the current location, it currently sits on a gazetted 0.2-hectare site as a Sikh Temple Reserve since September 1936.

Originally a wooden structure like many Gurdwaras in the early days,it was demolished after decades in 1969 to make way for a single-storey concrete building at the expense of RM28,000 and officially opened on March 13, 1973. It was later expanded into adjacent land and a new langgar (community kitchen) hall in 2012.

The gurdwara celebrated its major 100th-anniversary recently, featuring a Nagar Kirtan procession, Akhand Path prayers, and community programs like a kabbadi competition!

Wadda Gurdwara Sahib Penang, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia

- This 125-year-old Gurdwara recently underwent a restoration process and reopened its doors after the main building had been closed for several years to facilitate the restoration. Known as the Diamond Jubilee Sikh Temple, it was erected in commemoration of Queen Victoria’s 60th anniversary on the throne.

At the time, the Gurdwara was built to serve the wider Sikh community, as the existing Gurdwaras primarily served uniformed bodies and were difficult for the general public to access.

Steeped in history, this Gurdwara is not only one of the oldest Gurdwaras in the region, but also features some of the most unique architecture found among Gurdwaras in Malaysia, with large arched windows, a magnificent skylight and an impressive dome.

With many important events and institutions having either originated or taken place here, this Gurdwara remains a beacon of Sikh presence and heritage in Malaysia. The recent reopening was a testament to this, as it was attended by many important individuals such as dignitaries, members of Government and spiritual leaders!

Gurdwara Sahib Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia

Located south of the capital of Kuala Lumpur, Kajang is an upcoming developing township, but with a healthy, growing and old population of Sikhs. This is reflected in their heavy investment of building new infrastructure to house a new langgar hall and Punjabi school, and most recently renovated the Darbar for the comfort of the sangat.

Gurdwara Sahib Port Klang, Selangor, Malaysia

This gurdwara is located in the port of the state of Selangor and basically the gateway to most maritime trade in Malaysia. The Gurdwara recently went through a thorough renovation of its Darbar Sahib, which looks very majestic. Uniquely the Gurdwara carries out the sewa, especially in the Klang Valley to charter boats for families of beloved ones who have just passed on to spread their ashes in the nearby body of water. Definitely an important Gurdwara in the fabric of the Malaysian Sikh community.

Gurdwara Sahib Bagan Serai, Perak, Malaysia

A small Gurdwara located near the border of Perak and Penang, it still retains its traditional wooden structure which is synonymous with classic Malaysian architecture where homes are built on stilts and elevated above the ground.

The town, purportedly home to only a handful of Sikh families, remains a beacon of memories past and a lasting footprint of the Sikh diaspora in Malaysia.

Gurdwara Sahib Mantin, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia

Gurdwara Sahib Mantin, located in the Mukim of Setul, and the state of Negeri Sembilan, is believed to have been established in the early 1890s, making it the oldest Sikh Gurdwara in the state. Originally built with wooden planks and an attap roof, later replaced with zinc, the Gurdwara sits on a three-and-a-half-acre site held under two land grants. Uniquely one in the name of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the 10th Guru of the Sikhs.

A new building was constructed between 1901 and May 1902 at a cost of Straits Settlements $4,791.00, with the Sikh sangat contributing sewa to level the land. In the early 1900s, the Gurdwara also supported the community by renting rooms for $1.00 a month.

Through the decades, it remained a spiritual and community hub, from Amrit Sanchar held in 1942, to major restoration works in 1989, and further expansion in July 2002 with new facilities. The Gurdwara now has two darbar sahibs, one in the original building and another one in back in almost a circular shape.

A highlight of the gurdwara is the well located on the premise, from which visitors always come and pull water from for their own use. This is one of a few Gurdwaras in Malaysia that has one on their promise.

Surrounded by serene greenery, with mountain ranges in view, Gurdwara Sahib Mantin continues to stand as a symbol of faith, seva, and unity for over a century.

Gurdwara Sahib Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia

In the early 20th century, a small Sikh community settled in Serdang, working mainly as dairy farmers, bullock cart operators, and in agriculture.

In 1904, they built the first Gurdwara Sahib, a simple wooden structure with an attap roof. By 1914, the present site at Lot 1451, Mukim Petaling, Kuala Lumpur was gazetted as a Sikh Temple Reserve, and a new wooden Gurdwara on concrete pillars with a tiled roof was completed.

In 1972, the Gurdwara underwent major renovations costing RM60,000, including a RM7,000 government contribution, led by President Lambardar Surjan Singh and his committee. In modern, the Gurdwara serves the location the best for the sangat in and around the area, as the other nearest Gurdwaras are Kuyoh and Kajang or High Street Police in Kuala Lumpur.

The complex includes the Granthi’s quarters, a langgar hall and kitchen at the rear, and two visitor rooms. The Gurdwara also uniquely has a well located in its langgar hall, a unique feature that not many Gurdwaras in Malaysia have.

Gurdwara Sahib Bayan Baru, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia

Located in the southern region of Pulau Pinang, this Gurdwara is one of four on the island, with the remaining three situated in George Town. It primarily serves the Sikh sangat residing in the island’s newer southern suburbs.

The present building, completed in 2016 after nearly a decade in a temporary location, stands alongside other places of worship, reflecting Malaysia’s multicultural and multi-religious landscape.

Despite its relatively recent establishment, the Gurdwara has quickly become a vital community hub—housing a Punjabi school within its four-storey premises, functioning as a humanitarian aid centre, and actively engaging youth through regular camps and programmes

Gurdwara Sahib Polis, Georgetown, P. Pinang, Malaysia

The history of the Sikh Police Gurdwara Sahib in Penang traces back to 1881, when Sikh personnel of the Straits Settlements Police were stationed at Fort Cornwallis established a small prayer room at the top of the fort. This space became the first Gurdwara Sahib in Penang, where the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was installed, and daily sewa was carried out by police officers in the absence of a Granthi.

By 1896, Sikh members of the Malay States Guides, alongside police personnel and civilians, regularly gathered for Sunday prayers, beginning with Asa Di Var Kirtan. Major religious occasions were marked with jormelas, even attended and supported by British officers.

A significant milestone came in 1927, when the police headquarters moved to Jalan Patani. On 28 December 1927, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was ceremoniously carried in a grand procession from Fort Cornwallis to the new Gurdwara Sahib. This was followed by an Akhand Path, concluding on 30 December 1927, supported by contributions from police personnel and the wider sangat.

In 1962, the second Gurdwara was demolished to make way for police barracks. Through the efforts of DSP Sardar Darshan Singh and others, a new site was approved. The present Gurdwara Sahib was built and officially opened on 29 August 1968 by Tan Sri Wong Pow Nee.

This Gurdwara is one of 3 Gurdwaras located in Georgetown, and also are in walking distance from each other. The existence of this gurdwara is evidence of the history and ongoing relationship of Sikhs and the police and other uniformed forces in Malaysia!
