Gurdwara Sahib Polis
No. 6 Jalan Balai Polis, 50000 Kuala Lumpur
The Gurdwara Sahib Police High Street, as it was originally known, is the second Police Gurdwara to be built in Kuala Lumpur. This Gurdwara was built in 1898 by the Federated Malay States Police (F. M. S. Police). At that time, more than half of the F. M. S. Police were Sikhs. All Sikh Police recruits had to undergo baptism (partaking of the Amrit) under the supervision of their senior officers.

The Gurdwara Sahib Police building is a single storey semi-permanent structure constructed of brick, concrete and wood. There are double storey blocks of quarters for married police personnel, priest’s quarters, office, stores and a large kitchen at the rear of the building. The built up area is about 7000 square feet surrounded by a 7 feet high wall. There have been no major changes to the original structure of the Gurdwara Sahib Police.
