PHT’s first site visit in 2020 will be to Bukit Mertajam town, a small township whereby old businesses and heritage is threatened by modern developments. This site visit will explore businesses and places with heritage interest such as Hung Kung Guild, Xuan Tian Temple, Bukit Mertajam market and Sin Huat Heng coffee factory. We will also make a special stopover to the dilapidated house of Penang’s first Chief Minister, the late Tan Sri Wong Pow Nee.
