Additionally, a bug affecting Windows servers running IIS can prevent updating from 3.5 to 3.5.1. If you receive the error “Destination directory for file streaming does not exist or is not writable,” you will need to follow the steps outlined on the Codex.

WordPress 3.5.1 also addresses the following security issues:

Another year is coming to a close, and it’s time to look back and reflect on what we’ve accomplished in the past twelve months. The WordPress community is stronger than ever, and some of the accomplishments of the past year are definitely worth remembering.

\n

Software Releases

\n

We had two major releases of the WordPress web application with versions 3.4 and 3.5, as well as 5 security releases during 2012. 3.4 included the theme customizer, while 3.5 became the long awaited “media release” featuring a new uploader and gallery management tool. 3.5 contained code contributions from more people than ever, and we hope to continue growing the contributor ranks in the year ahead. We currently have native apps on 6 mobile platforms — iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Nokia, and WebOS — and saw several updates there as well.

\n

Plugin Directory

\n

A number of improvements were made to the Plugin Directory in 2012. More cosmetic  updates, like the introduction of branded plugin page headers, make it a nicer browsing experience, while functional changes like better-integrated support forums, plugin reviews, and a favorites system made the plugin directory even more useful as a resource.

\n

The “Make” Network and Team Reps

\n

2012 was the year that saw the creation of Make.wordpress.org, a network of sites for the teams of contributors responsible for the different areas of the WordPress project. Now anyone can follow along and get involved with the teams that work on core, theme review, forum support, documentation, and more. In 2013 we’ll work to improve these sites to make it easier to become a contributor. Each team also now has elected Team Reps, a new role that has already led to more cross-team communication. Team reps post each week to the Updates blog so that the other reps can keep up with what’s going on in other teams.

\n

WordPress Community Summit

\n

At the end of October, about 100 of the most influential and respected members of the WordPress community attended an inaugural summit to discuss where we all stand, and to figure out where we go next with WordPress. A “conference of conversations,” this unconference made everyone an active participant, and while not every issue brought to the table was solved by the end of the event, the right questions were being asked.

\n

Meetup.com

\n

The WordPress Foundation now has a central account with Meetup.com. We’ve brought in a couple dozen existing meetup groups as a pilot to test the system, and are in the process of working with more existing meetups (as well as new ones) to join us so that local organizers won’t have to pay organizer dues and can get more support from the WordPress project.

\n

Internet Blackout Day

\n

We participated in the protest against SOPA/PIPA, Internet Blackout Day, on January 18. Though we usually stay out of politics, this campaign was important, and we not only participated in the blackout on WordPress.org, we encouraged our users to do so as well, and recommended plugins to provide blackout functionality. It was deemed the largest online protest in history.

\n

WordCamps

\n

And finally, it wouldn’t be a recap without counting up the WordCamps! There were 67 WordCamps around the world in 2012, bringing together WordPress users, developers, and fans. If you didn’t make it to a WordCamp this year, maybe it can be one of your new year resolutions: check the schedule to find one near you!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: a new WordPress release is available and chock-full of goodies to delight bloggers and developers alike. We’re calling this one “Elvin” in honor of drummer Elvin Jones, who played with John Coltrane in addition to many others.

\n

If you’ve been around WordPress a while, the most dramatic new change you’ll notice is a completely re-imagined flow for uploading photos and creating galleries. Media has long been a friction point and we’ve listened hard and given a lot of thought into crafting this new system. 3.5 includes a new default theme, Twenty Twelve, which has a very clean mobile-first responsive design and works fantastic as a base for a CMS site. Finally we’ve spent a lot of time refreshing the styles of the dashboard, updating everything to be Retina-ready with beautiful high resolution graphics, a new color picker, and streamlining a couple of fewer-used sections of the admin.

Here’s a quick video overview of everything you can share with your friends:

For Developers

\n

You can now put your (or anyone’s) WordPress.org username on the plugins page and see your favorite tagged ones, to make it easy to install them again when setting up a new site. There’s a new Tumblr importer. New installs no longer show the links manager. Finally for multisite developers switch_to_blog() is way faster and you can now install MS in a sub-directory. The Underscore and Backbone JavaScript libraries are now available. The Codex has a pretty good summary of the developer features above and beyond this, and you can always grab a warm beverage and explore Trac directly.

Behind every great release is great contributors. 3.5 had more people involved than any release before it:

\n\n

At this point, we only have a few minor issues left. If all goes well, you will see WordPress 3.5 very soon. If you run into any issues, please post to the Alpha/Beta area in the support forums.

\n

If you’d like to know what to test, visit the About page ( → About in the toolbar) and check out the list of features. This is still development software, so your boss may get mad if you install this on a live site. To test WordPress 3.5, try the WordPress Beta Tester plugin (you’ll want “bleeding edge nightlies”). Or you can download the release candidate here (zip).

Think you’ve found a bug? Please post to the Alpha/Beta area in the support forums.

\n

Developers, please continue to test your plugins and themes, so that if there is a compatibility issue, we can figure it out before the final release. You can find our list of known issues here.

The third beta release of WordPress 3.5 is now available for download and testing.

\n

Hey, developers! We expect to WordPress 3.5 to be ready in just a few short weeks. Please, please test your plugins and themes against beta 3. Media management has been rewritten, and we’ve taken great pains to ensure most plugins will work the same as before, but we’re not perfect. We would like to hear about any incompatibilities we’ve caused so we can work with you to address them before release, rather than after. I think you’ll agree it’s much better that way. \':-)\'

\n

To test WordPress 3.5, try the WordPress Beta Tester plugin (you’ll want “bleeding edge nightlies”). Or you can download the beta here (zip). For more on 3.5, check out the extensive Beta 1 blog post, which covers what’s new in version 3.5 and how you can help. We made more than 300 changes since beta 2. At this point, the Add Media dialog is complete, and we’re now just working on fixing up inserting images into the editor. We’ve also updated to jQuery UI 1.9.1, SimplePie 1.3.1, and TinyMCE 3.5.7.

\n

The usual warnings apply: We can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but this is software still in development, so we don’t recommend that you run it on a production site. Set up a test site to play with the new version.

\n

As always, if you think you’ve found a bug, you can post to the Alpha/Beta area in the support forums. Or, if you’re comfortable writing a reproducible bug report, file one on the WordPress Trac. There, you can also find a list of known bugs and everything we’ve fixed so far.

Beta three is out

As always, if you think you’ve found a bug, you can post to the Alpha/Beta area in the support forums. Or, if you’re comfortable writing a reproducible bug report, file one on the WordPress Trac. There, you can also find a list of known bugs and everything we’ve fixed so far. Happy testing!

In just three short months, we’ve already made a few hundred changes to improve your WordPress experience. The biggest thing we’ve been working on is overhauling the media experience from the ground up. We’ve made it all fair game: How you upload photos, arrange galleries, insert images into posts, and more. It’s still rough around the edges and some pieces are missing — which means now is the perfect time to test it out, report issues, and help shape our headline feature.

\n

As always, if you think you’ve found a bug, you can post to the Alpha/Beta area in the support forums. Or, if you’re comfortable writing a reproducible bug report, file one on the WordPress Trac. There, you can also find a list of known bugs and everything we’ve fixed so far.

\n

Here’s some more of what’s new:

\n\n

Developers: We love you. We do. And one of the things we strive to do with every release is be compatible with all existing plugins and themes. To make sure we don’t break anything, we need your help. Please, please test your plugins and themes against 3.5. If something isn’t quite right, please let us know. (Chances are, it wasn’t intentional.) And despite all of the changes to media, we’re still aiming to be backwards compatible with plugins that make changes to the existing media library. It’s a tall task, and it means we need your help.

\n

Here’s some more things we think developers will enjoy (and should test their plugins and themes against):

\n\n

We’re looking forward to your feedback. If you break it (find a bug), please report it, and if you’re a developer, try to help us fix it. We’ve already had more than 200 contributors to version 3.5 — come join us!

\n

And as promised, a bonus:

\n

We’re planning a December 5 release for WordPress 3.5. But, we have a special offering for you, today. The newest default theme for WordPress, Twenty Twelve, is now available for download from the WordPress themes directory. It’s a gorgeous and fully responsive theme, and it works with WordPress 3.4.2. Take it for a spin!

After nearly 15 million downloads since 3.4 was released not three months ago, we’ve identified and fixed a number of nagging bugs, including:

\n\n

Version 3.4.2 also fixes a few security issues and contains some security hardening. The vulnerabilities included potential privilege escalation and a bug that affects multisite installs with untrusted users. These issues were discovered and fixed by the WordPress security team.

You may have noticed we released version 1.9 of our wildly popular All-in-One Event Calendar. This release comes with a  slew of features that make it even easier to personalize your calendar, publicize your events, and share what’s happening around you.

\n

Unfortunately, with over 20,000 plugins and thousands of themes — not to mention personal customizations — the number of different combinations is practically infinite. It is impossible to test every single variation. New theme and plugin conflicts will inevitably occur with every release.  This isn’t an excuse, but simply a reality of releasing a product in an unstable environment.

\n

While it can be difficult to reproduce specific bugs, our development team has been working hard to fix the known issues with the calendar.  Below is a summary of what we’ve been working on.

1.9.1 Pro:

\n\n
1.9.1 Standard:
\n\n

In 1.9.2 – (out now) we have fixed even more issues, including:

\n\n

We are committed to fixing bugs. If you have a reproducible bug, please email us at help@time.ly and we will add it to our bug tracker. Please check to see if your bug is a theme or plugin conflict first by changing your theme to TwentyTwelve and seeing if that solves the problem, or disabling your plugins to see which one causes the conflict.

\n

Agreed, this release took longer than most of you expected, but we think you’ll find Version 1.9 and our new Pro Edition were worth the wait.

\n

First thing you’ll notice is that we’ve come out with 2 releases – Our Standard Edition (free) and Pro Edition ($75).  Both editions are aimed at connecting regions and interest groups together.  However, each is designed for a different type of business or organization.

\n

Our Standard calendar is for event creators &emdash; businesses, bloggers or organizations that want to get the word out in a compelling way about the cool things they’re doing.  The Standard release was primarily focused on bug fixes, but provided some great improvements too, including improved filtering, customization and editing.

\n

The Pro Calendar is for event aggregators.  This edition is designed for anyone running a community site, a portal, or a new site or blog, basically hubs for geographic or topic-based communities. The Pro includes all that is offered in the Standard Edition as well as features that will help your website become the best hub possible:

\n
    \n
  1. Stream View is a new view that many of you have been asking for.
    2. \n
  2. Front-end Event Creation allowing your community members to contribute events. This includes editorial tools that keep you in control of what appears on your calendar.
    3. \n
  3. User Feed Submission. Posting individual events take time, why not ask all the businesses/organizations in your network to download our standard calendar for their website and simply pull in their feed?  You can pull it from their site Or they can post the ICS feed on yours.
    4. \n
  4. Super Widgets. Embed your calendar outside of WordPress and distribute it to other websites (even static HTML sites, and sites hosted on other servers).
    5. \n
  5. Premium Support.
    6. \n
\n

Thanks again for choosing Timely and being patient while we put out this major release. New releases should come much quicker from here on.

People, throw out your diaries! Rid yourselves of your calendars! The end is nigh! The world will end on December 21st. We’re reaching the cataclysm: the 21st of December, 2012 will bring about the end of all things. Maybe.

\n

That’s all pretty tongue-in-cheek. What happens on the 21st of December 2012 is that we reach the end of one cycle in the old Mayan calendar. People seem to have got pretty exercised about this, with one poll, as reported by Reuters, showing that 1 in 10 of us are anxious about the world ending on December 21st.

\n

Of course, there isn’t any reason to be worried about this actually happening, as the Wikipedia entry on the Mayan calandar makes pretty clear. All that’s happening is that we’re reaching the end of this b’ak’tun, and a b’ak’tun is nothing more than a way of representing 144,000 days from the act of creation that’s supposed to have occurred in 3114BC. In the Mayan calendar, the date on what we call the 29th of December is 12.19.19.17.18. The date on the 21st? 13.0.0.0.0!

\n

Whilst to our eyes this is an unusual way of representing time, there’s no reason at all to worry about it. It’s a bit like worrying that there will be an apocolypse because we’ve reached the end of a decade, or the end of a century, or the end of a millenium—although plenty of people managed to worry about that, too!

\n

Of course, this is hardly the first time that calendars have caused a stir. In 1752, Great Britain adopted the Gregorian Calendar. This required a re-adjustment of dates and so it was that Wednesday 2nd September was followed by Thursday 14th September. Although tales of riots and violence seem to be somewhat overstated, nonetheless it was certainly an important social and political upheaval.

\n

So why do we get so vexed about these dates in time if, in fact, they’re actually insignificant? Well, here’s one thought. There’s a natural tendency to get spooked by things that we don’t understand. The unknown can be pretty scary sometimes And for all of our advancements in measuring and thinking about time, it still seems to me that the following quote from Augustine’s Confessions (Book 11, chapter 14) rings true: ‘What, then, is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks me, I do not know.’ Maybe—just maybe—that sense of mystery that still shrouds the concept of time, coupled to the striking simplicity of some of the numbers involved (13.0.0.0.0 in the Mayan case, and 2000 in the other I’ve talked about) come together to generate a sense of unease. Whatever the explanation for these unfounded concerns, have a very happy end of this b’ak’tun.

Most of our experiences of events have the same structure. We experience events in time in a linear fashion. These experiences of events, though sometimes a little dull, are perfectly normal.

\n

It’s that familiar drudge of one thing after another! But there are some rare experiences that are very different. These are experiences where all (or at least many) of the events of our lives ‘flash before our eyes’ seemingly all at once. These cases, unlike those that we normally experience, seem to be ones where the regular succession of events is interrupted and we experience whole sections of our past lives in a single instant (or similarly short interval of time).

\n

In many ways these experiences seem really strange. Not only are these cases where people report re-living events from the past, they are sometimes also associated with a sense of time slowing down and everything becoming clear. Of course, it seems peculiar to say that time really slows down in these cases, or that we really can experience all of those events from our lives. After all, if those events took so many years to occur, how can I possibly experience them in the very brief time it takes for  my life to flash before my eyes?

\n

Strange as they may be, these experiences are reasonably well documented (as a quick internet search reveals!) in a range of different cultures. What’s striking form our own culture is that these kinds of experience (of many events flashing before our eyes) are generally supposed to be closely associated with ‘near death experiences’, other features of which include an awareness of being dead, moving through a tunnel and communicating with light.

\n

But in fact, in scientific studies, it doesn’t seem that there is such a close association. This experience of events where one’s life seeming to flash by all at once is sometimes referred to as ‘life review’and, in one study at least, was only present in 13% of Near Death Experiences.(1) One other interesting feature of near death experiences is that although patients most view themselves as being close to death, one study showed that of 58 such patients only 28 were in fact in a condition such that, had they not had medical intervention, they would have died.(2)

\n

Historically, such experiences as having one’s life flash before one’s eyes have taken on a good deal of religious significance and continue to do so today for some people. Even were such experiences to not in fact be caused by any supranatural involvement, this would be unsurprising. Instances of near death experiences frequently lead to people re-examining their lives and changing the way that they do things.(3)

\n

Increasingly, though, there’s evidence that near death experiences themselves can be explained without recourse to any supranatural being. Indeed, many of the features of near death experiences can be triggered simply by stimulating particular regions of the brain.(4) Similarly, there are plausible explanations of the mechanisms by which near death experiences in general might be brought about by low CO2 levels in the bloodstream.(5)

\n

But, be that as it may, there remains a particular fascination with these kinds of experience. Even if we can ultimately give a scientific explanation for their occurrences, these experiences are so unlike our normal experiences of events in time that they certainly give rise to a sense of wonder.

\n

I suspect, though, that regardless of any explanation of the cause of these experiences (be that scientific or otherwise) we would do well to take some advice from a reasonably well-known quotation that I gather is due to Gerard Way(6): “One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it’s worth watching”.

It doesn’t seem that long ago when the sleeves were first rolled up, the first hands hands were shaken, a name was chosen and a plan was put in motion to launch Timely and the event calendar network, in fact it was only 10 months ago to be exact and in that short amount of time we’ve made tremendous progress and evidently demonstrated some serious potential to some people who know a thing or two about tech startups. Last night Timely was honoured with the Most Promising New Startup Award for 2012 at the KAST Spirit of Innovation Awards.

\n

This is our first award as a technology startup and it gives us a great boost of confidence to know that we’re on the right track and making an impression.  Startup life is filled with high-highs and low-lows but when you’ve got the support of your community and the validation of your industry it can make all the difference. We’ve come a long way this year, taking the All-in-One Event Calendar through some major feature and performance upgrades and growing our plugin downloads to nearly 270k with no sign of stopping.  But don’t worry, we won’t let this award go to our heads, what we’ve achieved so far is just the beginning and we intend to make good on being “the most promising startup of 2012″ (and beyond).  Thanks to all who have believed in us and championed our product this first year and we can’t wait to show you what’s in-store next. Tally-ho!

Last week we had the pleasure of attending our first Wordcamp here in Vancouver and it was an awesome experience. Wordcamps (for the uninitiated) are meet-ups held all over the world bringing WordPress-ers of all skill levels and interests together for day long or multi-day events to talk about everything from code, to design, to business management, to freelance etiquette and of course the future of the wonderful WordPress publishing platform.

\n

The importance of the these events to the WordPress community cannot be overstated, in fact the rise and popularity of WordPress to become, arguably the web’s most dominant publishing platform can be largely attributed to Wordcamps and WordPress meet-up events happening around the globe that bring people together to share ideas, solve problems and advance their overall understanding of what is possible in the WP universe.

\n

It may seem strange to think of something that is essentially a big block of programming code garnering an international cult-like following but beautiful technology attracts a crowd (witness the kingdom of Apple).  With WordPress as an open-source, contributive platform this is especially the case.Wordpress is made and largely governed by it’s community of users and programmers, no single entity really controls it (although the company Automattic owns wordpress.com and manages the central code contributions to WordPress). It is quiet possibly the web’s greatest example of a sophisticated, democratized communication platform, where the tools, the processes and the culture evolve in an open forum for all to see and participate in. It really is a beautiful thing.

\n

At Wordcamp Vancouver we caught up with one of the main organizers Morten Rand-Hendriksen to talk about why Wordcamps make the WordPress world go around.

‘Time well spent’—such a familiar phrase. If someone said it to you, you’d know what they were getting at. But where does the expression come from and what does it really mean?

\n

The first person (that we know of) to speak of spending time, in the way that one might spend a currency, was Antiphon (c. 480-411 BC), and as we’ll see in future posts we owe a lot of our thinking about time to Greek writers and philosophers of this period. We don’t know too much about Antiphon, (although  this Wikpedia entry gives us a good start: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiphon_(person)

\n

Anyway, what interests us here is not so much who Antiphon was, as what he said. The expression that concerns us is this: the most costly outlay is the outlay of time. Now, we normally say that the sorts of things that we can spend are resources—things like energy, money or effort. So a literal reading of this expression might suggest that time is a resource. But if that’s right, then time is going to be very much unlike other resources.

\n

For one thing, once it’s gone, time cannot be replaced, unlike money or effort. Nor can we find a ‘substitute’ as we might try to for a natural resource, like oil or coal. Quite unlike all of our other resources, we can’t control the rate at which we use up time nor can we store it.

\n

In fact, things get stranger still! If I spend some money, or energy, then in return I get something back. If I spend my money, I get goods; if I spend energy, I get some effect. But, if I ‘spend my time’ doing something, then I don’t seem to get anything. How can this be right if we’re going to claim that time’s so valuable? If I can spend time without getting anything, surely that makes time our least valuable resource!

\n

But of course, we do get something when we spend our time on something. We get experiences. Experiences can be valuable. In fact, experiences can be incredibly valuable—just think of the ones that matter most to you. So, time’s a resource that you can’t store, that you can’t replace and that you can’t control. And you’re spending it on experiences every waking second of every single day of your life.

\n

\n

Now if time is such a valuable resource, then what should we do with it? Are there particular sorts of behavior that are better uses ofour time than others? Recent research suggests that there are. Some research suggests that long working hours are negatively correlated with emotional satisfaction in adults[1] and other research shows that people are happier with experiential purchases than they are with material purchases.[2] We also know that time spent engaged in socially connecting activities, such as spending time with family, comprise the happiest parts of the day.[3] All of which suggests that we would do well to try to work fewer hours, concentrate our financial resources on experiential purchases and spend more time with our friends and family. Maybe that’s just common sense.

\n

But if you want to feel like you’ve more time on your hands—that you’re more time affluent—one recent study suggests that the best thing that you can do is give it away for free.[4] The study, led by Cassie Mogilner at the University of Pennsylvania, found that people who gave up their time to do things for others, found themselves with a feeling of having more time than those who were given free time.  Just as we have the saying, ‘you have to spend money to make money’, this looks to be a case where we need to spend time to make time! Given the connections mentioned above between time affluence and happiness, it looks like it might be a sound investment.

Time. What is Time? How do we measure it? Where does it come from? Is it outside of us or just in our heads? If a clock ticks in the forest and no one’s around, does it really tell the time? What is a good time? What is a bad time? Getting a little too deep for you? Well you may think that a calendar software developer has no business waxing philosophical about something as nebulous as time but you’d be wrong! We’re time geeks here to the extreme. We like to look at time from all sorts of different angles, and we love talking with people who do the same, that’s why were excited to introduce a our new guest blogger, Jonathan Tallant!

\n

Jonathan is a time philosopher at the University of Nottingham. That’s right. A Time Philosopher. As far as we’re concerned that’s just one step down from Time Sorcerer and well above your common Time Bandit. Alas Jonathan is not involved in the direct manipulation of time per say but he does posit a variety of fascinating theories and themes on how humans perceive and experience time. As such we asked him to help us explore the concept of time experience as it relates to events, great and small. His first guest post appears next week and we’ll be hounding him for more whenever he’s got the (wait for it) – time!

One of the things we love here at Timely is coming across calendar users who really understand the potential of our All-in-One Event Calendar plugin to connect communities via cross-calendar sharing and make it easy for people to find the events they care about. That’s why starting this month we’re launching a new monthly blog series called Calendar Stories to highlight some of the best examples of our plugin being used around the world.

\n

A few weeks ago the folks over at Jacksonopolis.com Tweeted us to show off their new community calendar set-up. Jacksonopolis is setting itself up to be the go-to source for community news and events for Jackson, Michigan. Co-founder and CEO of Jacksonopolis David Buchanan was kind enough to answer some questions about how they’ve been using Timely’s All-in-One plugin to power their events calendar and why it’s important for communities like Jackson to have a unified events platform to stay informed and connected.

\n

Could you describe what Jacksonopolis is and how it came to be?

\n

Jacksonopolis showcases people, places, culture, and community in Jackson, Michigan. We came to life because of a dire need for our community to build pride, focus creativity and grow new economic sectors. Our city has been misrepresented for some time so our team is working hard to highlight the things which make our town so great. All content is submitted by the community and the site is supported by the generous local business and organizations that continue to make it great.

\n

What prompted the need for a more networked community events calendar?

\n

We’ve run a new media company, Coefficient Media, since 2007 building websites and the community members came to us begging to build a well designed and usable central place for Jackson. For over 4 years we used our network to gather information and hold open meetings with the community to find their needs and wants. This is one of the reasons we love social networking; It’s tools like Facebook, Twitter and web portals, which enable communication and interactivity all around us. We set our focus to foster certain interactions, how to influence and share different events with friends, family, community members and leaders to have a more organized online experience.
\n

\n

Why is a complete events listing important for your community?

\n

A local Jackson community event.

\n

While the idea of events listings and calendars are not new to a local community, we want to take it to the next level.  Technology is changing the way we interact with our local community and we feel the need to connect more than ever. So much is happening all around us we need to calendar feature events, make them easy to share, intuitive to navigate, and able to subscribe to categories.

\n

Our goal is to tear down the existing roadblocks and let the community share and connect organically through the use of their everyday tools, like social media.

\n

Why did you choose Timely’s All-in-One Events Calendar for the job?

\n
    \n
  1. Social integration.  We want the events to live in on Facebook along with being associated with our website.\n

    The Jacksonopolis team hard at work.

    2. \n
  2. Cross Calendar Sharing.  We build a lot of calendars and the ability to link data from one to another is amazing.  With Timely, the calendar we built for the Art’s Council and the calendar for the Young Professionals network will have the same unified data structure!
    3. \n

So what’s next for Jacksonopolis? David says they’re planning on syncing filtered event data between various community calendars all using the Ai1EC to create an events network powered by individuals and businesses across their region (that’s exactly what we designed it for!). Congrats to David and his team for building a great looking site with an awesome organizational mandate. If you live, work (or travel) in the Jackson MI area, Jacksonopolis.com should be your first stop for news and events.

Okay it’s no secret that were obsessed with finding and sharing great events and that we sometimes give extra-special treatment to startups and technology events being that 1) we’re geeks and 2) we’re a startup but we love getting to events of all kinds especially when we can learn something new and talk to some fresh faces no matter what the industry or location. When we can we take our crack production crew (Okay, me) down to document what we see and get the nitty gritty on the event details, who’s involved and why it’s an important.

\n

Last weekend we had the opportunity to travel down to Seattle to check out the north-west coast’s premier event for start-up culture and camaraderie hosted by our friends at GeekWire John Cook and Todd Bishop.

Here’s John explaining why #gwstartupday is all about and why it’s their “marquee” event of the year:

\n

The OpenWest Conference is happening May 2-4, 2013 (formerly the Utah Open Source Conference) at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

\n

This year the keynote speakers are Rasmus Lerdorf, creator of PHP, and Mark Callaghan, lead of the MySQL engineering team at Facebook.

\n

For my part I’ll be giving three different presentations this time around. First up is “Simple Filesystems with Python and FUSE”, where I’ll cover the basics of getting a simple filesystem up and running written in Python using the FUSE library. Next up is “Site Testing with CasperJS”, which is an intro to using CasperJS to run user tests against your site. Last, but not least, is “Scaling WordPress”, where I’ll talk about some of the methods that WordPress.com (the largest WordPress install in the world) uses to host tens of millions of sites that add up to billions of page views per month.

\n

I tried to keep my session titles direct and to the point. At times there will up to ten sessions running at once ( OpenWest session schedule ), so I wanted people to be able to tell at a glance what my sessions are about.

\n

Tickets for OpenWest are available at $80. Every open source group in the area has been given a discount code though, so you can bring that down significantly.

\n

If you’ll be at the OpenWest conference be sure to say hi.

There has been a lot of talk lately about working from home and maintaining a distributed workforce.

\n

Web-based software, like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, are taking over the publishing industry and allow you to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Though, even though they can be managed  from home, working from home and maintaining a distributed workforce is not yet broadly acknowledged in society as a successful and efficient alternative to working in an office. Despite working with software that doesn’t need to be tied to one specific workstation, you could still find yourself tied to a desk in cubicle.

\n

I work full-time for Automattic and have the pleasure of both working from home and setting my own hours. After all, I only need a browser, an email client, and IRC client, and Skype to do my job. A desk is nice, but there’s no one saying that said desk has to be in the dark corner of some corporate office. As for communication between the 150 of us (130 who work from home, far away from the central “office” in San Francisco), we communicate mostly via a variety of blogs running the P2 theme. It’s as close as you can get to a water cooler or a meeting room with text, you should try it. For other communication needs, we use primarily IRC followed by Skype for less work-related chats.

\n

Do you work from home? And, if you work from home for a larger company (not just yourself), how is communication and overall efficiency maintained?

In the last posts, we chatted with Chandra Maharzan and Jerry Bates, two moderators at WordPress.tv. We’d like to introduce a third volunteer on this team. Everyone, meet Phil Erb.

Tell us a bit about yourself.

\n

I’m a systems administrator/programmer at the University of Scranton. While I do some work with WordPress at the university, most of my WordPress projects are after hours as a consultant or just for fun.

\n

How did you get involved with WordPress?

\n

I’ve been creating websites since 2002 — the philerb.com domain name turned 10 years old in September! — originally purely by hand, then by creating very basic CMS-type systems with Perl, PHP, and MySQL. I’d installed WordPress in 2007 and 2008 to play with it, but never had time to sit down and learn it. It wasn’t until just before 3.0 came out that I convinced myself custom-coded solutions aren’t the way to go. Now, I’m consulting on the side and working on WordPress sites for nonprofits and small businesses.

\n

I didn’t really become involved with the WordPress community until last fall. Last year, I began following more WordPress folks on Twitter and started answering questions in the forums. I attended my first WordCamp – WordCamp Philly — in October. I’ve helped set up a Northeast Pennsylvania WordPress meetup — we had our first meetup recently in Scranton and are planning our next one for March 26. (We can be found on Meetup.com or on Twitter @nepawp.)

\n

For WordPress 3.5, I published my first plugin (Disable XML-RPC). It’s a simple one-line plugin, but it’s left me wanting to create more. I’ve set a goal to contribute at least one thing to core in 2013.

\n

Why do you want to be a WordPress.tv moderator?

\n

I’ve only been to one WordCamp so far, but I love watching the videos from other conferences. They’ve helped me understand how much you can do with WordPress and inspire me in my own projects. I wanted to get more involved in the community so was very excited when I read about the need for moderators for WordPress.tv. I now have a (good) excuse to sit down and watch videos about WordPress, by some of the best in the business, every day.

\n

What other things do you like to do?

\n

When I’m not immersed in code or following the WordPress universe via Twitter on my phone, I’m playing with (and wrangling) my two kids: three-year-old Adam and one-year-old Rachel.

\n

In last week’s post, we talked to Jerry Bates, one of the moderators at WordPress.tv. Let’s continue our “Meet the Moderators” Q&A series with another member of this team, hailing all the way from Nepal: Chandra Maharzan.

Chandra MaharzanTell us about yourself and your work.

\n

I’m a theme designer, and since 2008 I’ve worked at Graph Paper Press to produce photography themes. Some of my themes have been on “top 100 free WP themes” lists on sites like Smashing Magazine, and Gridspace — one of the themes I crafted — is the 10th most popular theme in WordPress.com’s Theme Showcase. I currently have three free themes at WordPress.org, and one of them, Book Lite, is now available on WordPress.com, too. I also create minimal themes at WPshoppe and review themes at WordPress.org.

\n

In 2011, I set up a WordPress group in Kathmandu, and we meet monthly. We organized our first WordCamp Nepal in November, which was pretty awesome!

\n

\n

How did you get involved with WordPress?

\n

I began using WordPress extensively for client projects. I, along with others, thought that if WordPress was so efficient, time-saving, and cost-effective, we should share our experience with others. In April 2011, we had our first WordPress meetup with just four people. We created a Facebook group and soon after found people who were really into WordPress. While the group didn’t expand that much, we continued our monthly meetups. In August 2011, I was able to go to WordCamp San Francisco — an eye opener! I was determined to do a WordCamp in Kathmandu, so that’s how it started. We now have over 600 people in the group, and students in colleges are excited to start WordPress clubs.

\n

Why do you want to be a WordPress.tv moderator?

\n

I have learned many new things from the videos at WordPress.tv. But I do wish the videos were more interactive (with slides), and had high-quality sound. So, as a listener, sometimes you get lost. I want to improve our future videos and make WordPress.tv the best resource for WordPress! I want to help the WordPress community beyond the local level.

\n

Social 2.8 (courtesy of MailChimp) was released today. This release was primarily to change over to using version 1.1 of Twitter’s API.

\n

Why should you care? Well, for one thing – the 1.0 API was starting to break and not get repaired in places. For example, you might have noticed that Social was no longer reliably finding tweets that referenced your posts by URL. This was due to a breakage in Twitter’s 1.0 search API. However, it works fine in the 1.1 API – now that is “fixed”. Yay!

\n

So we’re pleased to be on Twitter’s 1.1 API, and the great folks at MailChimp have made some additional changes to the Social Proxy to make it easier for us to maintain Twitter API compatibility going forward.

\n

We also threw in a couple of little bug fixes, check out the changelog in the README for details.

\n

Enjoy!

In the world of HTML filtering in PHP HTML Purifier appears to be the current top dog. WordPress long ago forked kses for HTML filtering, which is fine, but as John Godley ( a co-worker at Automattic ) put it:

\n

\nThere is nothing fundamentally wrong with the way WordPress and bbPress filters comments, and in fact there has been no security alert related to this. However, this doesn’t detract from the desire to make things better, and the fact that HTML Purifier is much more thorough and exhaustive.\n

\n

He wrote the HTML Purified WordPress plugin, which “replaces the default WordPress comments filters with HTML Purifier”.

\n

For new PHP projects, or ones that allow you to easily swap in/out libraries, it looks like HTML Purifier is the current best option for HTML filtering.

We’re super-excited to share with you news about the first American (and second ever) BuddyPress conference; BuddyCamp Miami! Tickets are limited, so get one today.

\n

BuddyCamp is a mini-conference before WordCamp Miami. It’s happening on April 5th at the University of Miami, Life Science & Technology Park. As you can guess from the name, BuddyCamp Miami is a conference focused on BuddyPress. If you want to learn more about BuddyPress and walk away as a power user, meet many of the team behind the project, and share your knowledge with other enthusiasts, then BuddyCamp is perfect for you!

Version 2.0 of WordPress for Windows Phone: Gallery SupportWe promised to release updates faster, and so this is the first of many updates to come. Today we’re happy to announce gallery support for WordPress.com blogs and direct access to your WordPress Dashboard and public website.

\n

Galleries are a great way to share pictures with your friends and followers. An image gallery will display thumbnails for all images attached to a particular post or page. Readers can tap or click any image to launch the gallery full-screen, displaying huge versions of your images.

\n

You can create a gallery straight from your device by attaching two or more pictures to a post or a page. You can even customize the appearance of a gallery by tapping the “gallery settings” button and choosing the best options for your site.

\n

Gallery Styles

\n

You have great control over how the gallery will be displayed: as a thumbnail grid, as a tiled mosaic-style grid, or as a slideshow. A tiled mosaic-style grid has Rectangular, Square, and Circular formatting options, for a total of 5 choices.

\n

Below is an example of an image gallery using the default thumbnail setting. If you click on any of the images you will be able to see what the carousel view looks like:

Some of my great co-workers recently released a new icon font – Genericons

\n

The details are in The Genericons Icon Font Story announcement post. In additional to being a nice general use icon font, it is licensed under GPLv2 (or later), so no more trying to sort out licensing terms to see if the icon font will jive with your existing open source projects. They are also free, as in no cost. The font is already in use in the new WordPress Twenty Thirteen theme ( demo site is at http://twentythirteendemo.wordpress.com/ ).

\n

For more examples check out the bottom of the announcement post and genericons.com site.

The purchase and fit-out of this historic mid-19th Century vernacular shop-house, as a permenant home for the Penang Heritage Trust was achieved through the fund-raising efforts of its members and friends and generous donations from the Penang State Government, the Malaysian Ministry of Tourism, the Malaysian Ministry of Culture, Arts &office2 Heritage and a supportive corporate sector.

Church of the Immaculate Conception, September 2010

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\nconceptionThe September site visit, delayed on account of Ramadan and the Malaysia Day holidays, took place on Sunday, 19th September at the Church of Immaculate Conception on Burmah Road in Pulau Tikus. 45 PHT members and friends took part. The church was founded by Portuguese Eurasians who settled in Penang to escape persecution in Phuket. They were latecomers -- an earlier wave of Catholic immigrants arrived in Penang from Kedah in 1786 with Captain Francis Light and founded the Church of the Assumption on Farquhar Street. The Eurasian Catholic community in Phuket, although dwindling in numbers, remained in Phuket until the Phya Tak Massacre of 1810, which forced them to leave.\r\n\r\nThe Eurasians, or Serani (a Malay-language corruption of Nazarene, a reference to Jesus of Nazareth) as they were locally called, adopted local customs such as speaking Malay, and lived in kampong houses, similar to those in the Portuguese settlement in Malacca. There was a sizable Eurasian community in the Pulau Tikus area of Kelawai Road until after Independence, so much so that the area was called Kampong Serani, and local road names such as Leandro’s Lane still bear their imprint.\r\n\r\nThe present building of the Church of Immaculate Conception was erected in 1899, and was last renovated in the 1970s. With the moving away of the Eurasian community in recent years the congregation of the church has become predominantly Chinese.\r\n\r\nPHT members were briefed on the history of the church and the Eurasian community by Dr. Anthony Sibert, an authority on the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Penang. Dr. Sibert is author of Pulo Ticus 1810-1994: Mission Accomplished, a book soon to be published. He showed us the small museum housed in the northeast corner of the church and explained the many artifacts, documents and memorabilia displayed there. Members of the Immaculate Conception congregation are very proud of the fact that one of their priests was the only parish priest in Malaysia to be canonized (not counting St Francis Xavier). Jacques Honoré Chastan was a Roman Catholic missionary born in France. He taught at the College General in Penang 1828-1830 and served as the fourth parish priest of the Church of the Immaculate Conception 1830-1833. From Penang Father Chastan went on to carry out missionary work in China and Korea.  The Korean authorities became alarmed at the rate at which Koreans were converting to Catholicism and Father Chastan and his colleagues were arrested and martyred in 1839. Father Chastan was beatified by Pope Pius XI in 1925 and canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1984. A monument to St. Chastan was recently erected in the southwest corner of the church grounds facing Burma Road.\r\n\r\nBy Leslie A.K. James\r\n\r\n

Ipoh and The Kinta Valley, June 2011

ipoh1\r\n\r\nAfter a postponement in March, a site visit five years in the making finally saw the light of day when on Saturday morning 18th June 20 PHT members including our guide Tim and Sheau Fung, our manager, assisted by Pei Ling, assembled at the Caring Society Complex. The bus left at 8.20 a.m. and reached the Regal Lodge hotel in Ipoh at 11.30a.m. En route, Tim gave a brief introduction to the history of Ipoh and the Kinta Valley. Villages sprouted up along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaya because of the proximity to the sea but it was because of tin discovered and mined in these areas that we have the inland towns that developed into cities such as Taiping, Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur. The earlier wave of Chinese migrants who migrated to Penang and the northern region came from Fujian province where the Hokkien dialect is spoken. It was these Chinese who mined the tin in Taiping. When new tin mines were started in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur, a new wave of immigrants arrived from Canton, the reason why the main dialect in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur is Cantonese.\r\n\r\nipoh2\r\nAfter leaving our luggage at the hotel, we set out for the most important stop for most Malaysians, a food stop! The bus dropped us off at what was considered the food capital in Ipoh. With several coffee shops to select from, most of the group ended up having bean sprouts chicken before stocking up on biscuits and other dry food products from nearby shops.\r\n\r\nPAPAN AND SYBIL KATHIGASU\r\n\r\nOur first stop after lunch was Papan where we visited Sybil Kathigasu’s house and makeshift clinic.\r\n\r\nOur host and guide for the day was Law Saik Hong of the Perak Heritage Society. The humble house where Sybil performed her heroic deeds stands alone in what was once a row of shophouses. Papan today is a sleepy town where the population is on the decline as most young people have moved to bigger towns in search of greener pastures. Saik Hong showed us various artefacts and shared stories of Sybil’s bravery during the Japanese occupation. She secretly kept a shortwave radio and listened to BBC broadcasts. One can still see today the hole in the floor underneath the staircase where she hid the radio. She also secretly provided medical supplies and services and information to the resistance forces until she and her family were arrested in 1943. Despite being interrogated and tortured by the Japanese military police, Sybil refused to cooperate and was detained in the Batu Gajah jail. After Malaya was liberated in August 1945, she was flown to Britain for medical treatment. At a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in October 1947 she was awarded the George Medal, the only woman in Malaya to receive this award for bravery.*\r\nipoh3\r\nOur next stop was the house of Raja Bilah, the headman of Papan, just a short walk from Sybil’s shophouse. The Sumatran nobleman’s home was restored by the National Museum several years ago and has since been used as a location in several films, most notably Anna and the King.\r\n\r\nBATU GAJAH\r\n\r\nFrom Papan, we made our way by coach to Batu Gajah Jail and the cemetery known as “God’s Little Acre.” Here, we visited the graves of the three English planters whose deaths at Sungei Siput on 16th June 1948 resulted in the declaration of the Malayan Emergency (1948 -1960).** Before leaving Batu Gajah we had a final stop at the lovely hospital which also enabled us to view the church and the surrounding administrative buildings.\r\n\r\nTIN DREDGE\r\n\r\nOur next stop was to the last remaining tin dredge in Malaysia. It is a remarkable example of engineering. Opened to the public in 2008, it is badly in need of repair (tilting to one side with water seeping in) but it is a great place to explore and marvel at for its sheer size. Walking onto the tin dredge was like stepping back in time. The cavernous interior was silent, but when the dredger was in full operation, the noise would have been unbearable. One can imagine when it was fully operational; its huge buckets scooping and transporting alluvial to its body. The excavated material was then broken up by jets of water as it fell onto revolving screens. The tin-bearing alluvial then passed to a primary separating plant. Large stones and rubble were retained by the screens. The largest dredge could dig continuously to depths of up to 200 metres below water. It could handle over three-quarters of a million cubic metres of material per month. The first tin dredge was introduced by Malayan Tin Dredging Ltd. in the Kinta Valley tin fields in 1913.  During the heyday of the tin mining industry in 1940, there were 123 dredges in operation. This number began to diminish after 1981. By the end of 1983 there were only 38 dredges left. Although it looks too big to move, these massive dredges once devoured swamps and jungles as they searched hungrily for tin deposits, reshaping the local topography at the same time. Kinta Valley is now full of ponds due to the mining process. Members who went to the top of the dredger had a bird’s eye view over the surrounding ponds. At the entrance to the dredge there is a small museum displaying a selection of tools. It was here that some members bought custard apples from the museum’s fruit orchard. After a refreshing jelly dessert drink in Tanjung Tualang, we visited a nearby seafood restaurant for dinner before returning to Ipoh. One member remarked that tualang in Hokkien refers to grown-ups, so we really felt still like kids (gheena in Hokkien) amongst the tualang there!\r\nipoh4\r\nIPOH HERITAGE WALK\r\n\r\nNext morning after a sumptuous breakfast of dim sum and other local hawker favourites, we were met by Mark Lay and several key members of the Kinta Heritage Society. The head of the State Legislative Council for Tourism also made a brief appearance.\r\n\r\nFollowing the Ipoh Heritage Walk maps produced by the State with the help of Kinta Heritage Society, we set out on foot, led by Mark. Mark was one of the key people involved in producing these self-guided walks. He shared many interesting anecdotes as we made our way to the major sites. It was a balmy morning and the overcast sky without the direct sunlight made it easier to walk. Sites that the group managed to cover included the Ipoh Railway Station (also known as the “Taj Mahal of Ipoh”), the Cenotaph in front of the railway station, the Court House, Church of St John the Divine, Ipoh ‘Padang’ (field), the Indian Muslim Mosque and St Michael’s Institution. The group then proceeded to the Birch Memorial Clock Tower passing a few heritage buildings in the Old Town ‘high street’ such as the Mercantile Bank Building and HSBC Building. The tour ended with a walk through Concubine Lane, a narrow lane flanked by quaint pre-war shophouses believed to have been inhabited by concubines belonging to rich mining merchants. Ipoh does have a reputation of having fair maidens!\r\nipoh5\r\nBefore leaving Ipoh, we had lunch at one of Ipoh’s most famous coffee shops, located at the end of Concubine Lane.  Considered as a food institution by some where Ipoh’s heritage food can be savoured, members enjoyed the wide hawker selection. Some members even ta pao (takeaway) food back home! It was indeed a weekend to remember, equal parts of interesting sites, stories, people, and of course food! The best part is that Kinta Valley is just a stone’s throw away from Penang, so one can always go back for more!\r\n\r\nBy Eric Yeoh\r\n\r\nEditor’s Notes:\r\n*Sybil Kathigasu’s own remarkable story is related in her autobiography No Dram of Mercy (Kuala Lumpur, Prometheus Enterprise, 2006). Sadly, after several operations Sybil Kathigasu died in England from complications due to the injuries she suffered at the hands of the Kempetei.\r\n\r\n**The three planters murdered by communist terrorists at Sungei Siput were A.E Walker, J.A. Allison and J.D. Christian. “God’s Little Acre” contains the graves of many planters, tin miners, policemen and servicemen killed during the Emergency and is the site of an annual ceremony of remembrance on the closest Saturday to the anniversary date of 16th June.

AusHeritage-PHT collaboration for the George Town World Heritage Site

\r\n\r\nPROGRESSING WITH HERITAGE\r\n\r\nPublic Forums & Workshops (March-May 2011) \r\n\r\nWith George Town\'s listing as a World Heritage Site, heritage now plays an important role in the future of Penang.  It is timely for Penang to accelerate its learning curve in the field of heritage management and equip itself for the conservation and sustainable development of its heritage resources.\r\n\r\nIn collaboration between AusHeritage and Penang Heritage Trust, eight Australian heritage specialists were brought in as resource persons for four public forums and workshops related to different aspects of heritage management.  These  took place in Penang from March to May 2011. The forums and workshop were organized by the World Heritage Incorporated and Penang Heritage Trust, in cooperation with the Penang State Government, Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang, Penang Global Tourism (PGT) and Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM).\r\n\r\nPublic Forums & Workshops\r\n\r\nThe public forums were a 1-day affair (on Saturdays). They consisted of public lectures on a specific topic in the morning, presenting international and Australian heritage practices and issues. Complementing the morning lecture, a lively forum was held in the afternoon, with panel representatives from different sectors who identified current practice and challenges in  George Town related to the forum topic.\r\n\r\nFollowing the forum were 2 days of closed-door focus group workshops (on Sunday and Monday) open  to stakeholders and experts closed-door  who wished to discuss case studies and challenges  and develop realistic frameworks and ways forward  for the George Town Heritage Site.\r\n\r\nWhile the public forums aimed to raise the general level of interest and awareness in conservation issues, the follow-up workshops were designed as a platform for brainstorming and sharing between stakeholders and specialists. The series contributed towards skills development and institutional strengthening for the care and management of the unique George Town WHS as well as wider heritage places across Malaysia.\r\n\r\nWho attended?\r\n\r\nVenue for Forum : Level 5, Auditorium F KOMTAR\r\n\r\nTime: 9:00am– 5:00pm\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nManagement of Heritage Assets\r\n\r\n1.  Preparing Heritage Management Plans and\r\n\r\nConservation Management Plans for buildings, sites and living streets\r\n\r\nForum : Sat, 5 March 2011\r\n\r\nWorkshop: Sun & Mon, 6 & 7 March 2011\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDesign in the Context of Heritage\r\n\r\n1.  Compatible adaptation / new design\r\n\r\n2.  Heritage Cultural Assessment\r\n\r\nForum: Sat, 26 March 2011\r\n\r\nWorkshop: Sun & Mon, 27 & 28 March 2011\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nCultural Tourism and Presentation of Heritage\r\n\r\n1.   Heritage Interpretation\r\n\r\n2.   Cultural tourism -merits and impacts\r\n\r\nForum: Sat, 23 April 2011\r\n\r\nWorkshop: Sun & Mon, 24 & 25 April 2011\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nCapacity Building in Heritage Asset Management \r\n\r\n1.  Managing your heritage building\r\n\r\n2.  Skills development\r\n\r\nForum: Sat, 28 May 2011\r\n\r\nWorkshop: Sun & Mon, 29 & 30 May 2011\r\n\r\nOrganizer:\r\n\r\nGeorge Town World Heritage Incorporated www.gtwhi.com.my\r\n\r\nIn Collaboration with\r\n\r\nAusHeritage www.ausheritage.com\r\n\r\nPenang Heritage Trust www.pht.org.my\r\n\r\nSupporting Organizers:\r\n\r\nPenang State Government www.penang.gov.my\r\n\r\nMajlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang www.mppp.gov.my\r\n\r\nPenang Global Tourism http://penangglobaltourism.com/\r\n\r\nPertubuhan Akitek Malaysia www.pam.org.my', 'AusHeritage-PHT collaboration', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'ausheritage-pht-collaboration', '', '', '2013-02-23 17:02:19', '2013-02-23 09:02:19', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?page_id=314', 0, 'page', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (34, 1, '2013-02-03 14:37:45', '2013-02-03 06:37:45', '', 'Articles >>', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'articles', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:37', '2013-02-28 04:38:37', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=34', 75, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (457, 1, '2013-02-19 15:41:01', '2013-02-19 07:41:01', ' ', '', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '457', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:38', '2013-02-28 04:38:38', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=457', 106, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (458, 1, '2013-02-19 15:41:01', '2013-02-19 07:41:01', ' ', '', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '458', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:37', '2013-02-28 04:38:37', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=458', 98, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (456, 1, '2013-02-19 15:41:01', '2013-02-19 07:41:01', ' ', '', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '456', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:38', '2013-02-28 04:38:38', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=456', 107, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (180, 1, '2013-02-17 17:27:08', '2013-02-17 09:27:08', '

Penang General Hospital, October 2010

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe sprawling complex of Penang General Hospital was the venue for the PHT site visit on Sunday afternoon, 3rd October.\r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_182" align="alignright" width="300"]Nurses’ Mess, circa ,1935 Nurses’ Mess, circa ,1935[/caption]\r\n\r\nSome 31 PHT members and friends assembled at the hospital’s main entrance in Block B. Now known as Hospital Pulau Pinang and previously as Hospital Besar Pulau Pinang, this is the biggest public hospital in Penang and second largest in the country. Lcated along Jalan Residensi, with various departments on the opposite side of the road as well as along Jalan Sepoy Lines, as a public hospital it provides health care and emergency treatment for all illnesses and accidents.\r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_181" align="alignleft" width="300"]Newsletter editor’s mother Nursing Sister D.M. Preston with local children at Penang Hospital Newsletter editor’s mother Nursing Sister D.M. Preston with local children at Penang Hospital[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe Penang General Hospital traces its history to the Pauper’s Hospital started by Mun Ah Foo, a leader of the Ghee Hin Society. The aim of the hospital was to provide healthcare to the poor and needy as well as rehabilitation for opium smokers. After Mun Ah Foo passed on, the Pauper’s Hospital continued to be managed by a committee headed by Governor Archibald Anson, with representations from the Chinese clan associations, guilds and other pillars of 19th century society. During this period, the Leper Hospital was relocated to Pulau Jerejak, off the southeast coast of Penang, where it remained until the mid-20th century.\r\n\r\nIn the hospital grounds we viewed the monument to those who had made significant donations to the hospital in the early years, including the King of Siam. Unfortunately, enquiries as to the location of the memorial to Health & Medical Services staff killed in the Second World War drew a blank from the hospital officials acting as our guides. The unveiling of a commemorative plaque had been reported in The Straits Times on 2nd October, 1948.\r\n\r\nOther sites of interest which we were shown were the Nurses’ Mess built in the early 1930s and the nearby Matrons’ Residence, a beautiful and distinctive structure of older vintage in excellent condition. The latter deserves to be conserved although both are reportedly destined for replacement.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n

Cintra Street and The Pre-War Japanese Community, January 2011

\r\n\r\nOn Sunday afternoon 9th January, 72 members and friends of PHT gathered at the corner of Cintra Street and Kampung cintra Malabar to follow a trail to the former Japanese quarter of Penang led by Clement Liang. Very little physical evidence remains today to remind us that any Japanese community ever existed there and only the names of the streets in Chinese and the interpretative signboards on the old wall bear witness to their presence once upon a time. During the visit, several century-old reprints showing the shops and hotels run by Japanese in the vicinity raised questions and curiosity as to why these people came all the way to Penang.\r\n\r\nIn the late 19th century, both Cintra Street and Campbell Street were the thriving red light districts of Penang. The Karayuki-san who went into prostitution overseas began when Penang as an entrepot had its first influx of Japanese people and cultural contact. Sailors and migrant workers thronging the streets in search of pleasures often found the petite Japanese girls clad in kimonos cute and accommodating.  But behind the smiling faces, these girls endured a life of hardship starting with the long arduous journey out of impoverished villages. Innocently believing in misleading offers of waitress job offers in restaurants and hotels overseas and trapped in money lending schemes that enslaved them for years, their situation was not very different from what we read in the newspapers about foreign prostitutes caught nowadays.\r\n\r\nThe arrival of hundreds of Karayuki-san later led to the formation of ‘Little Japan’ quarter around Cintra Street and Kampung Malabar in George Town which the local Chinese still fondly call Jipun Huey Kay and Jipun Sinlor. In 1910, the official census by the Japanese Consul-General counted 207 Japanese residents in Penang with over half of them involved in some sort of flesh trade. In fact, the majority of the tombs in the Penang Japanese Cemetery at Jalan P. Ramlee belonging to the young Karayuki-san who died from various sicknesses.\r\n\r\nThe success of the Meiji Restoration and the humiliating defeat of the Russian fleet in the Tsushima Straits in 1905 saw Japan emerge as a military power on the world stage. The presence of large numbers of Japanese prostitutes overseas could not longer be tolerated.  Working together with the British authorities, open prostitution in the Straits Settlements was finally banned in 1920’s and the fate of the Karayuki-san was sealed with most of them either returning to Japan, cohabiting with local men or simply going underground to continue the trade.\r\n\r\nAt the same time, the Japanese government was actively promoting foreign trade with Southeast Asian countries and encouraging its citizens to migrate overseas.  Penang received a fair share of these people in the form of photographers, pharmacists, hotel operators, barbers, dentists and traders in imported Japanese goods. Two of the well-known Japanese establishments in town were a sundry shop named Osakaya in Penang Road and Asahi Hotel in Transfer Road.\r\n\r\nBy the late 1930’s, Japan’s invasion of China heightened the conflicts between the Japanese and Chinese communities in Malaya and a series of boycott campaigns and attacks on Japanese shops and civilians drove the Japanese population of\r\nPenang down to around 50 just before war broke out. Eventually they were all rounded up and interned by the police as enemy aliens when war was declared in 1941. After the war, all the Japanese were repatriated and their property confiscated and it was not until 1960’s that  another wave of Japanese arrived, this time as investors and industrialists.\r\n\r\nAfter enjoying a cool break in an old fashioned coffee shop while listening to the stories shared by Clement and many others, the group went on to stroll along Cintra Street when the afternoon heat had subsided. Judging from the stream of questions asked, the site visit generated considerable much interest in this bygone community.\r\n\r\nText and images by Clement Liang', 'Cintra Street and The Pre-War Japanese Community', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'cintra-street-and-the-pre-war-japanese-community', '', '', '2013-02-23 17:07:28', '2013-02-23 09:07:28', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?page_id=185', 0, 'page', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (208, 1, '2013-02-17 17:58:32', '2013-02-17 09:58:32', '

\r\nIt comes to our attention that there is proposal to demolish a few bungalows at Kelawai Road.\r\n\r\nWe welcome your feedback and input if you have information about the buildings or the development plan.\r\n\r\nThank you very much.\r\n\r\nPenang’s Disappearing Thai Heritage \r\n\r\nPenang Island has traditionally been called Koh Maak (or “Number One Island”) by the Thais, not surprising given that Penang was at one time part of a Siamese vassal state together with Kedah which was also known as Saiburi. In a letter to the Government of India in Bengal in 1793 (seven years after the establishment of Penang as an East India Company settlement), Captain Francis Light described the main communities in Penang and noted the presence of 100 Burmese and Thais. The 1828 census of Penang reported a total population of 22,503, out of which 1,117 were Thais and Burmese, mostly living in Teluk Ayer Raja, now Pulau Tikus, (665 people) and  Kuala Muda (256 people).\r\n\r\nBesides the mass migration of the Eurasian community from southern Siam to Penang during Light’s time, the Thai community in Penang was   attracted by the abundant opportunities and grew constantly over the years under the auspices of the British.  In 1845, the community sought a piece of land and Queen Victoria granted them a five-acre site in Pulau Tikus as a gesture to promote trade with Siam. The land grant was presented by W.L. Butterworth, Governor of the Straits Settlements (1843–1855). It is interesting to note that a British-Siam boundary stone was erected at Pinang Tunggal, north of Province Wellesley, in the 1800s to mark the official border between Siam and Penang. The stone still stands in the same spot today.\r\nkelawai2\r\nIn the eyes of the Thais, Penang by the turn of the 20th century was an advanced state and well managed by the British authorities. Penang was and still is a favourite place for Thais to seek an English education and hence was nicknamed “the other London”.  King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V), taught by the British governess Anna Leonowens (whose husband is buried in Penang) was the first Western-educated Siamese king. He paid an official visit to Penang in 1890 to study the government administration. In 1897, when he visited Europe, he stopped over at Chakrabongse House where he was received by the household of the Sultan of Kedah, at that time still a vassal state of Siam. When King Prajadhipok (King Rama VI) visited Penang in 1929, he stayed at Asdang House on Northam Road. Asdang House and Chakrabongse House were built by Phya Rasada Nupradit of Ranong, better known as Khaw Sim Bee, of the legendary Sino-Thai family whose illustrious members were appointed by King Chulalongkorn as governors of the southern west-coast provinces of Siam, stretching from Ranong, Phuket to Trang.  To enhance the prestige of Siam, Khaw donated a piece of prime real estate at the Esplanade to the public. Called Ranong Ground, the football-size field was meant for public recreation. It has completely disappeared and today is the site of Dewan Sri Pinang.\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House and Asdang House were the venue of numerous parties and receptions especially for visiting dignitaries from Bangkok. Named after the sons of King Chulalongkorn, the two houses were built back to back, with Chakrabongse facing the sea and Asdang House facing the road. Asdang House was sold and later became the Metropole Hotel. Unfortunately, it was illegally demolished on Christmas Day in 1993 and the Mayfair condominium was built on the site. After being fined RM50,000 and instructed by the MPPP to reconstruct the entrance hall, the developer erected a mock-up façade of the original Asdang House. Chakrabongse met a similar fate in the 1970s when it was demolished to build a multi-storey family apartment.\r\nkelawai3\r\nChakrabongse House\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House was described in glowing terms by the Penang Gazette at its house warming by Prince Chakrabongse in 1904:\r\n\r\n“Mr Khaw Sim Bee has taste and very thorough notions of comfort. Standing on the brink of the sea, with its verandahs opening on lovely view of the harbour and purple heights of Kedah beyond, the position of the new house could scarcely be surpassed in Penang.\r\n\r\n“Its snowy whiteness backed by the dark green of palms and flanked with tennis courts will render it the home beautiful indeed. The floors have marble in the halls and on the verandahs. The dinning and drawing rooms are large enough for huge gatherings, and the latter might easily accommodate four or five sets of Lancers.”\r\n\r\nDuring the Japanese occupation, the houses were appropriated by the Japanese military forces. After the war they were returned to Khaw Sim Bee’s only son in Penang, Khaw Joo Chye, who inherited Chakrabongse House and had other properties including 20 Pykett Avenue. Sadly, the Pykett Avenue property met the same fate as Asdang House. It was illegally demolished on 26th July 2010, a few days ahead of a heritage building assessment to be conducted by MPPP.\r\n\r\nIn the 1930s, a new group of Thai royal dignitaries and politicians resided in Penang. Political turmoil in Bangkok caused by the failure of democratic reform and a coup d’état in 1932 forced the first elected Thai Prime Minister Phaya Manopakorn Nititada and Prince Damrong Rajanubhab and Prince Svasti Sophon, both sons of King Rama V, to flee to Penang and seek refuge. They took up residence at Burmah Lane, Kelawai Road and Burmah Road and lived a conspicuous lifestyle. Their exchange of letters with their Bangkok counterparts and family members as well as the documented visits from their friends vividly describe their life in Penang during those years. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab’s memoirs of his residence at “Cinnamon Hall”, 15 Kelawai Road , became a famous classic reading book for all Thais. Cinnamon Hall was demolished long ago but many Thais who visit Penang are curious about this building and try to locate its whereabouts.\r\nkelawai4\r\nPraya Manopakorn never returned to Thailand and died in Penang in 1947. Two streets off Jalan Bagan Jermal were named after him, Jalan Mano and Solok Mano. Prince Svasti Sophon died in Penang in 1935 and his funeral at Wat Pinbang Onn on Green Lane witnessed a gathering of VIPs from Thailand and local officials. He was formerly the Minister of Defence and his daughter was married to King Rama VII. In 1942 Prince Damrong Rajanubuab was allowed to return to Bangkok where he died the following year. Prince Damrong was credited with founding the modern Thai education system and the modern provincial administration. From his books on Thai literature, culture and art works grew the National Library, as well as the National Museum. On the centenary of his birth in 1962, he became the first Thai included in the UNESCO list of the world’s most distinguished persons.  In April 2011, a group of historians from Bangkok interviewed the 92-year-old sister-in-law of Praya Mano, Prabandh Sanasen, who has lived in Penang for 80 years following her brother-in-law’s exile to Penang. Her recorded memories fill a gap in the history of Thailand and Penang.\r\n\r\nOn the evening of 20th October, 2011, one of the bungalows at Burmah Lane where the Thai royal dignitaries used to livekelawai5 was demolished and reduced to a heap of rubble to make way for a yet-to-be approved high-rise development. It is understood that MPPP gave a conservation order only for the second bungalow on the spurious grounds that there was no need to conserve all bungalows of similar appearance -- a case of “heritage tokenism”!\r\n\r\nTo everyone -- especially tourists -- the charms of Penang lie in its rich historic and cultural heritage. If the old buildings that witnessed these historic events are not valued and kept, there will not be anything left as physical evidence to relate to our past.\r\n\r\nBy Clement Liang  \r\n\r\nkelawai6', 'Bungalows at Kelawai Road', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '218-revision-2', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:06:36', '2013-02-17 10:06:36', '', 218, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=227', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (235, 1, '2013-02-17 18:19:01', '2013-02-17 10:19:01', '

George Town World Heritage Site Management

\r\ngeorge1As one of the heritage NGOs in Penang, we welcome, encourage and appreciate private restorations effort at the World Heritage Site. There had been many wonderful efforts from private sectors to restore the heritage buildings over the years. After the listing, we believed that there are more and more applications on restoration/ renovation.  However, the Penang Heritage Trust is very concerned about the lack of management and monitoring of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.\r\n\r\nWe were informed that the following project has obtained permission from MPPP for its restoration project, but we are also worrying about the lack of monitoring of the project. Please refer to the images that showed the its condition in 1998 and current situation.\r\n\r\nThe fear is that in not following our own guidelines, we are not managing the site well, and in not managing the site well we are endangering the WH listing.george2\r\n\r\nAccording to the conservation principle which has been made as a practice of many conservation architects in George Town, if the building needs to be altered too much for the sake of the new use - the new use is wrong. And whatever we do if it is different from the original - it must be reversible.\r\n\r\nIt is utterly heart breaking to witness the gradual destruction of our heritage.', 'George Town World Heritage Site Management', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'george-town-world-heritage-site-management', '', '', '2013-02-23 17:20:04', '2013-02-23 09:20:04', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?page_id=235', 0, 'page', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (240, 1, '2013-02-17 18:33:38', '2013-02-17 10:33:38', '

Heritage Vandalism

\r\n
1 November 2011
\r\n
\r\nIt is a sad day when see the treasures within the George Town World Heritage Site vandalised by Malaysians to make racial vandalpolitical statements. Bringing gutter politics into the realm of cultural heritage demonstrates a total lack of respect and understanding of what the world community has acknowledged as worthy of conserving for all humanity.\r\n\r\nThe Convent Light Street is the oldest girls school in the country founded in 1852, the school has struggled to collect money from its alumni and others to conduct their own restoration within the World Heritage Site. Since the 1990s, the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion has undergone a rigorous restoration at a time when conservation was virtually unknown in Penang and went against public opinion. It has set benchmark standards and helped conservation consciousness to become mainstream. The Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion has just been recognised as one of the 10 greatest mansions in the world -  how ironic that it should be defiled so callously.\r\n\r\nThe UNESCO World Heritage Listing for George Town is Malaysia\'s pride and honour, putting us on the same level as historic marvels like Angkor Wat and Rome and the Imperial Palace of Beijing. There would be an international outcry if any of these world monuments were vandalised by ignorant cowards in the middle of the night. The culprits who defiled what we all treasure as part of our shared past should be roundly condemned and brought to account for their actions.\r\n\r\nThe graffiti sprayed on the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Convent Light Street and Wisma MWE in the George Town World Heritage Site is an insult not only to the intended, but to all Malaysians and the international community. It is also an illegal act violating the rights of the property owners. What would Malaysians think if heritage buildings around Dataran Merdeka or Jalan Sultan in Kuala Lumpur were spray painted with senseless racist sentiments? A violently-presented racist message that runs deeply contrary to the Malaysian government\'s promotion of 1Malaysia can only scare off tourists and make Malaysians feel insecure. The Malaysian government can certainly do more to protect heritage properties by sowing awareness and a deep respect for heritage, cultural diversity, and the values of our George Town and Melaka World Heritage Site.', 'Heritage Vandalism', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'heritage-vandalism', '', '', '2013-02-23 17:47:14', '2013-02-23 09:47:14', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?page_id=262', 0, 'page', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (266, 1, '2013-02-17 18:58:13', '2013-02-17 10:58:13', '

Illegal Demolition of 20 Pykett Avenue

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe illegal demolition of 20 Pykett Avenue.\r\n\r\nLetter from Resident\r\n\r\nPuan, YB and CM,\r\n\r\nWe wish to highlight to your office again that the illegal demolition of the bungalow at  20 Pykett has caused major repercussions in Penang.\r\n\r\nThe owners of the land were fined a small sum, this amount is less then 1% of the total GDV of the project.\r\n\r\nThis is a problem as it is not a deterrent to other developers. It is only logical to disregard the implications of demolishing a building without planning permission and be a irresponsible developer. Pay the fine and that is it. The developer will costs all this into their new project, no big deal. Land costs is rising to a level of 400 per sq foot in town, this is making it more and more lucrative for developers to knock down buildings to develop new mega structures. [no difference if Heritage buildings or not]\r\n\r\nNow another bungalow on Burmah Road, opposite Convent Pulau Tikus is under threat. a small difference being that this developer  is a responsible developer, they have applied for planning permission to demolish the bungalow, waiting for approval from MPPP.\r\n\r\nWhat is to stop them from taking it down tomorrow ?? Knock it down and pay a RM6000,00 fine. Precedent has been set by the courts. All the lawyers in town know of this case, they shall advice their clients accordingly. Fair enough, 20 Pykett was not listed as heritage since the ORANGE bungalow is double the fine. Still cheap for a 500million GDV project.\r\n\r\nMPPP is also making excuses that they cannot find detail drawings, we have consulted our consultants from Penang and Australia and have been advice that there are other methods available to perform reconstruction on site. MPPP having ordered the owners to unconditionally reconstruct the building, should push for this.\r\n\r\nCM it is imperative that action is taken to prevent errant developers from demolishing buildings without planning permission, we note inadequacy in our system, that is why we need to address them.\r\n\r\nOur Heritage buildings are not safe !! pay a small fine is not a deterrent.\r\n\r\nThe oppurtiunity is before the Penang Government and MPPP to stop future illegal demolitions happening, new common law has to be made in courts to protect our heritage buildings. Penang is a UNESCO listed living Heritage city today. This listing has done wonders for Penang.\r\n\r\nThank you for a new Malaysia.\r\n\r\nYours sincerely\r\nDr. B Nawawi.\r\n\r\nFor more information, please log on to the blog www.20pykett.blogspot.com.\r\n\r\n

Proposed Demolition of 457 Burmah Road

burmah1\r\n
24 Nov 2011
\r\nPenang Heritage Trust is gravely concerned with the application from the owner of Lot 2334, Sek 1, Bandar Georgetown to demolish a grand heritage building at 457 Burmah Rd.\r\n\r\nThe building has significant architectural values and a unique education history in Penang that deserve a comprehensive conservation protection by the authorities. Its rich ornamental design typifies a superb example of the “Straits Eclectic” styled grand mansion built in the early 20th century which has become rare in Penang nowadays.\r\n\r\nWhile efforts to research into the first owner are underway and of whom we believe to be a prominent figure in Penang, we have uncovered from historical records which indicated the building was actually used by the Lasalle Brothers of St. Xavier’s Primary School as a boarding house for an extensive period till 1977 when Uplands School moved from Penang Hill to occupy this building and continued its mission as an education centre until 1987. Uplands School moved on to another location at St. Joseph Novitiate at Kelawai Rd when its growing student number called for a bigger space.\r\n\r\nburmah2It is our understanding that the said building has been listed under the Category II for Conservation Order well before any plan to develop or demolition had been submitted. When a development plan was submitted subsequently for 2 highrise tower blocs right in front of the old building, it was approved without proper consideration for the living density and traffic flow capacity at that section of Jalan Burmah which lines Convent P Tikus School, a Catholic church, Adventist Hospital, Berjaya Hotel and the One-Stop Shopping complex . The imposition of huge modern highrise adjoining a heritage building is an absolute architectural mismatch and unsympathetic to the vista of the surrounding.\r\n\r\nAny approval to allow the further destruction of the site including the demolition of a classified heritage building will be seen by the public as an aberration of law and disrespect to the conservation efforts which the State government has put in.', 'Proposed Demolition of 457 Burmah Road', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'proposed-demolition-of-457-burmah-road', '', '', '2013-02-23 18:08:41', '2013-02-23 10:08:41', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?page_id=271', 0, 'page', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (276, 1, '2013-02-17 19:05:35', '2013-02-17 11:05:35', '

Preservation and Destruction in Penang’s Development

\r\n
\r\n\r\nSpeech by Dr. Lim Mah Hui\r\n\r\nAt the Full Council Meeting of MPPP, 24th February 2012\r\n\r\nIn the past 12 months, we have painfully witnessed the demolition of several historic buildings, some illegally. The latest victim is a mansion at 177 Jalan Macalister, opposite Loh Guan Lye Specialist Centre.\r\n\r\nFirst, I would like to request the Council to provide data on all the historically, architecturally and/or culturally significant buildings that have been demolished last year and this year, or for which demolition was approved since 2008.\r\n\r\nbrook2Let me mention a few of these buildings that were torn down. The beautiful mansion of Khaw Bian Cheng (son of Khaw Sim Bee) at Pykett Avenue, two historic bungalows on Burma Lane, one of them once occupied by a former prime minister of Thailand, Phraya Manopakorn Nititada (1884-1948) and two bungalows along Brooks Road. Khaw Bian Cheng’s mansion was torn down without permit.  In the case of the Burma Lane and Brooks Road residences, two of three buildings in each location were torn down and only one building in each location was left standing. This is not preservation. This is architectural and historical mutilation. It is like cutting off one limb and preserving the other limb.\r\n\r\nPrime Minister Phraya Mano sought refuge in Penang island when the military launched a coup in Thailand in 1932.  He lived in Penang for several years and passed away here 1948. Mano Road in Pulau Tikus is named after him. In many ways, his history is similar to that of Dr. Sun Yet Sun, who also took refuge in Penang during his struggle for Chinese independence. We are fortunate to maintain the heritage and history of Dr Sun in terms of a museum and the house where he spoke and launched his fund raising campaign. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for celebrating the history of Prime Minister Phraya Mano in Penang. The houses in which he once stayed have been demolished and an important part of the history of the Thai Malaysians in Penang has been destroyed in the pursuit of profit but under the rationale of “development”.\r\n\r\nThe present attitude is that only houses in the heritage zone, or those that are designated heritage, are protected. We need to take a more holistic view of heritage. One reason Penang was awarded the world heritage status is because of the large stock of pre-war houses in the island. It is myopic to only preserve the buildings in the core heritage zone and wantonly destroy important buildings in the buffer zones and other parts of the city. Tourists come to Penang to experience the whole city, not just the heritage zone.\r\n\r\nMany Japanese and European visitors have commented to me their disappointment at the demolition of beautiful buildings. The building of 30 stories apartments surrounding a heritage building is not preservation; it is suffocation of heritage sites.\r\n\r\nShow Slides of these houses.\r\n\r\nIt is convenient to justify what is happening in the name of development. As I said last year, we must be more thoughtful. We must ask the following questions:\r\n\r\nDevelopment must be located within a vision. What is the vision for Penang’s development?  Perhaps the best way to concretize this vision is to ask ourselves what is the “model” city that best approximates our vision?  I am not suggesting we copy blindly another city. But what I am suggesting is we learn from and choose what are the best characteristics to suit our own situation.\r\n\r\nI have heard from some people and policy makers they would like Penang to model itself after Singapore and Hong Kong, both are densely populated international financial centers in the world. Are they appropriate for Penang? Might it not be more appropriate to look at a combination of Kyoto, a heritage city, and Xiamen, a city with similar characteristics in size, geography (hills and sea), and services (education, high tech and former trading ports) as models.\r\n\r\nLet me say something about Singapore. There is much that can be said for Singapore – it is a clean, safe and a well-planned city with good public transportation system. These are some of the positive lessons we can draw from it. But we can also learn some negative lessons from it, of which I mention two. First, is Singapore in the early days of development, demolished many of its traditional houses and buildings (not necessarily heritage). They have since learned it was a mistake and are now taking pains to preserve them.  We should not repeat the same mistake. Second, in their quest to make Singapore an international city, the government has swung to the extreme so that many of its local citizens are left behind in this “development” process. Despite Singapore having the best public housing schemes in the world, many of its young population feel they cannot afford housing or find good jobs. The dissatisfaction is so great that it cost the PAP government many seats in the Parliament. This could also happen to Penang if more and more middle and lower class citizens feel they are left behind in this frenzy of property development.\r\n\r\nFinally, allow me to suggest that for the moment, we should impose a moratorium on granting approval for demolition of all buildings in the island that were built before 1962 (more than 50 years old) and have architectural value. The present list of protected buildings should be immediately made available, and a technical committee made up of qualified professionals, civil society and input from other relevant bodies be established to study this matter immediately.\r\n\r\nThank you for your attention.\r\n\r\n

Cultural Heritage Specialist Guide Training Programme

guide\r\n\r\nIn 2007, PHT was entrusted by UNESCO and Kementerian Pelancongan Malaysia (the Malaysian Ministry of Tourism) with the training and certification of UNESCO Cultural Heritage Specialist Guides for George Town, Penang.   Accredited trainers from within PHT (Ms L.L.Loh-Lim & Mr Laurence Loh) as well as from UNESCO and the Institute for Tourism Studies (IFT), Macao SAR, together with local experts, conducted the 6-day (pilot) course at the Malaysian national level.\r\n\r\nIn 2009, two Regional Training of Trainers Workshops on Cultural Heritage Specialist Guide Programme were held in Macao (from 12 to 16 January) and Borobudur (from 10-15 August). The two workshops were run by trainers from the Institute for Tourism Studies (IFT), Macao and UNESCO, Bangkok. Representatives from Ministry of Tourism Malaysia  (MOTour), Badan Warisan Malaysia (Mr Mark Gibson) and Penang Heritage Trust (Ms Ho Sheau Fung & Mr Leslie James) attended the workshop to devise an outline curriculum for training Cultural Heritage Specialist Guides for Melaka and George Town that is appropriate and suitable to the Malaysian Guide Training National Curriculum.   On 29 July, PHT and BWM were appointed by MoTour to develop and deliver the national training curriculum, the trainees’ manuals, reading lists (for both George Town and Melaka) and 30-minute video showing a pilot training session based on Modules 1 & 2 requested by UNESCO for use at the Borobudur workshop.\r\n\r\nThe goal of developing the programme for Melaka and George Town is to set new standards where the Cultural Heritage Specialist Guide Programme will raise professional capacity in guiding visitors at world heritage sites.  It aims to provide the highest level of visitor experience, to raise awareness about cultural heritage and conservation issues and to foster awareness of community participation and long-term sustainability of these sites.

Penang & the Indian Ocean Conference

\r\n\r\nPenang & the Indian Ocean: An International conference (16-18 September 2011) \r\n\r\nAn institutional initiative to provide an integrated framework to harness the development potential of three core areas: academic, heritage and culture, and business towards transforming Penang into THE secondary city in the region - the choice for the location of a variety of enterprises, attractive to a wide range of groups.\r\n\r\nProgramme:\r\nAcademic: The creation of a research cluster dedicated to mapping the historical and contemporary linkages of Penang in its Indian Ocean context.\r\n\r\nPhase 1: Convening a workshop in Cambridge University with academics from Cambridge and London Universities in July 2010 [completed]\r\nPhase 2: Convening an international conference, “Penang and the Indian Ocean”, 17 to 18 September 2011, in Penang\r\n\r\nPenang has long been at the centre of inter-regional networks of exchange. Although much work has focused on Penang’s position within a Chinese maritime world of commerce and migration, less attention has been paid to Penang’s equally significant connections with South Asia. This workshop—which forms part of the broader Penang Story 2 project—aimed to bring together scholars with interests in Penang’s role as a gateway to the Indian Ocean over the past two centuries.\r\n\r\nThe workshop examined the multiple networks, imperial, commercial, cultural, and biographical, that linked Penang with the littorals of the eastern Indian Ocean, stretching from Burma and Sri Lanka to the “Coromandel Coast” of India. How might Penang be treated as a site through which to examine the density of cultural and economic interactions in the Indian Ocean world, and between the regions conventionally divided into South and Southeast Asia? How have Penang’s urban landscape, its population, and the development of its civic culture borne the imprint of its Indian Ocean connections? How does Penang’s Indian Ocean history feature in popular and official memory in the present day, and with what implications for the future?\r\n\r\nThe conference was held on 17 and 18 September 2011 in Penang. The convenors were Professor Loh Wei Leng (University of Malaya, ret’d.), Dr Tim Harper (University of Cambridge) and Dr Sunil Amrith (University of London).', 'Penang & the Indian Ocean Conference', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'penang-the-indian-ocean-conference', '', '', '2013-02-23 17:58:47', '2013-02-23 09:58:47', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?page_id=330', 0, 'page', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (333, 1, '2013-02-18 09:46:03', '2013-02-18 01:46:03', '

Community Participation in Waqf Revitalization

waqf\r\n\r\nCommunity Participation in Waqf Revitalization is a project coordinated by the Kapitan Kling Mosque Qariah Committee, the Penang Heritage Trust (PHT), with various other partners. It is supported by UNESCO Programme on Integrated Community Development & Cultural Heritage Site Preservation in Asia and the Pacific through Local Effort (LEAP).\r\n\r\nThe main geographical focus of this project is the Kapitan Kling Mosque neighbourhood and surrounding waqf properties, while other waqfs in the inner city of George Town, Penang, are also included.\r\n\r\nMain objectives\r\n\r\na) To promote an appreciation of the Muslim heritage in George Town, in particular the historical legacy of waqf.\r\n\r\nb) To promote a common understanding of the functions of waqf -- according to the intentions of the benefactor, for maintenance of the trust properties, for charity, public good (amal jariah) and welfare for the local community.\r\n\r\nc) To identify the needs and aspirations of the local Muslim community (occupants of both waqf and non-waqf properties), particularly their anticipated housing needs with the Repeal of Rent Control.\r\n\r\nd) To promote the concept of sustainable development, \'healthy cities\' and \'cities for life\', in particular, sustainable livelihood, community and urban environment, and to identify ways in which various parties can participate in the revitalization of waqf, which would take into account the community\'s economic, social, cultural and spiritual development, as well as considerations of social justice and equity.\r\n\r\ne) To develop a common vision which can be supported by all stakeholders - qariah, general community, religious authority, owners of adjacent properties, business, local authority and other government bodies, etc., taking into account the views of special groups such as women, youth, elderly and people with disabilities and special needs.\r\n\r\nPreparatory and ongoing activities\r\n\r\n1. Socio-Economic Survey, compiling and integrating information from previous surveys on waqf properties and using a questionnaire to gather new socio-economic information about the community that lives and works in and around the waqf areas.\r\n\r\n2. Muslim Heritage Tours, familiarising people with the historical features of the local area. The first tour was conducted by the PHT on 7 February 1999, attracting over 20 people.\r\n\r\n3. Physical Mapping of waqf properties, building condition and building use, as information that will be shared with the community.\r\n\r\n4.

Penang’s Disappearing Thai Heritage

\r\n\r\nPenang Island has traditionally been called Koh Maak (or “Number One Island”) by the Thais, not surprising given that Penang was at one time part of a Siamese vassal state together with Kedah which was also known as Saiburi. In a letter to the Government of India in Bengal in 1793 (seven years after the establishment of Penang as an East India Company settlement), Captain Francis Light described the main communities in Penang and noted the presence of 100 Burmese and Thais. The 1828 census of Penang reported a total population of 22,503, out of which 1,117 were Thais and Burmese, mostly living in Teluk Ayer Raja, now Pulau Tikus, (665 people) and  Kuala Muda (256 people).\r\n\r\nBesides the mass migration of the Eurasian community from southern Siam to Penang during Light’s time, the Thai community in Penang was   attracted by the abundant opportunities and grew constantly over the years under the auspices of the British.  In 1845, the community sought a piece of land and Queen Victoria granted them a five-acre site in Pulau Tikus as a gesture to promote trade with Siam. The land grant was presented by W.L. Butterworth, Governor of the Straits Settlements (1843–1855). It is interesting to note that a British-Siam boundary stone was erected at Pinang Tunggal, north of Province Wellesley, in the 1800s to mark the official border between Siam and Penang. The stone still stands in the same spot today.\r\n\r\nIn the eyes of the Thais, Penang by the turn of the 20th century was an advanced state and well managed by the British authorities. Penang was and still is a favourite place for Thais to seek an English education and hence was nicknamed “the other London”.  King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V), taught by the British governess Anna Leonowens (whose husband is buried in Penang) was the first Western-educated Siamese king. He paid an official visit to Penang in 1890 to study the government administration. In 1897, when he visited Europe, he stopped over at Chakrabongse House where he was received by the household of the Sultan of Kedah, at that time still a vassal state of Siam. When King Prajadhipok (King Rama VI) visited Penang in 1929, he stayed at Asdang House on Northam Road. Asdang House and Chakrabongse House were built by Phya Rasada Nupradit of Ranong, better known as Khaw Sim Bee, of the legendary Sino-Thai family whose illustrious members were appointed by King Chulalongkorn as governors of the southern west-coast provinces of Siam, stretching from Ranong, Phuket to Trang.  To enhance the prestige of Siam, Khaw donated a piece of prime real estate at the Esplanade to the public. Called Ranong Ground, the football-size field was meant for public recreation. It has completely disappeared and today is the site of Dewan Sri Pinang.\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House and Asdang House were the venue of numerous parties and receptions especially for visiting dignitaries from Bangkok. Named after the sons of King Chulalongkorn, the two houses were built back to back, with Chakrabongse facing the sea and Asdang House facing the road. Asdang House was sold and later became the Metropole Hotel. Unfortunately, it was illegally demolished on Christmas Day in 1993 and the Mayfair condominium was built on the site. After being fined RM50,000 and instructed by the MPPP to reconstruct the entrance hall, the developer erected a mock-up façade of the original Asdang House. Chakrabongse met a similar fate in the 1970s when it was demolished to build a multi-storey family apartment.\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House was described in glowing terms by the Penang Gazette at its house warming by Prince Chakrabongse in 1904:\r\n\r\n“Mr Khaw Sim Bee has taste and very thorough notions of comfort. Standing on the brink of the sea, with its verandahs opening on lovely view of the harbour and purple heights of Kedah beyond, the position of the new house could scarcely be surpassed in Penang.\r\n\r\n“Its snowy whiteness backed by the dark green of palms and flanked with tennis courts will render it the home beautiful indeed. The floors have marble in the halls and on the verandahs. The dinning and drawing rooms are large enough for huge gatherings, and the latter might easily accommodate four or five sets of Lancers.”\r\n\r\nDuring the Japanese occupation, the houses were appropriated by the Japanese military forces. After the war they were returned to Khaw Sim Bee’s only son in Penang, Khaw Joo Chye, who inherited Chakrabongse House and had other properties including 20 Pykett Avenue. Sadly, the Pykett Avenue property met the same fate as Asdang House. It was illegally demolished on 26th July 2010, a few days ahead of a heritage building assessment to be conducted by MPPP.\r\n\r\nIn the 1930s, a new group of Thai royal dignitaries and politicians resided in Penang. Political turmoil in Bangkok caused by the failure of democratic reform and a coup d’état in 1932 forced the first elected Thai Prime Minister Phaya Manopakorn Nititada and Prince Damrong Rajanubhab and Prince Svasti Sophon, both sons of King Rama V, to flee to Penang and seek refuge. They took up residence at Burmah Lane, Kelawai Road and Burmah Road and lived a conspicuous lifestyle. Their exchange of letters with their Bangkok counterparts and family members as well as the documented visits from their friends vividly describe their life in Penang during those years. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab’s memoirs of his residence at “Cinnamon Hall”, 15 Kelawai Road , became a famous classic reading book for all Thais. Cinnamon Hall was demolished long ago but many Thais who visit Penang are curious about this building and try to locate its whereabouts.\r\n\r\nPraya Manopakorn never returned to Thailand and died in Penang in 1947. Two streets off Jalan Bagan Jermal were named after him, Jalan Mano and Solok Mano. Prince Svasti Sophon died in Penang in 1935 and his funeral at Wat Pinbang Onn on Green Lane witnessed a gathering of VIPs from Thailand and local officials. He was formerly the Minister of Defence and his daughter was married to King Rama VII. In 1942 Prince Damrong Rajanubuab was allowed to return to Bangkok where he died the following year. Prince Damrong was credited with founding the modern Thai education system and the modern provincial administration. From his books on Thai literature, culture and art works grew the National Library, as well as the National Museum. On the centenary of his birth in 1962, he became the first Thai included in the UNESCO list of the world’s most distinguished persons.  In April 2011, a group of historians from Bangkok interviewed the 92-year-old sister-in-law of Praya Mano, Prabandh Sanasen, who has lived in Penang for 80 years following her brother-in-law’s exile to Penang. Her recorded memories fill a gap in the history of Thailand and Penang.\r\n\r\nOn the evening of 20th October, 2011, one of the bungalows at Burmah Lane where the Thai royal dignitaries used to live was demolished and reduced to a heap of rubble to make way for a yet-to-be approved high-rise development. It is understood that MPPP gave a conservation order only for the second bungalow on the spurious grounds that there was no need to conserve all bungalows of similar appearance -- a case of “heritage tokenism”!\r\n\r\nTo everyone -- especially tourists -- the charms of Penang lie in its rich historic and cultural heritage. If the old buildings that witnessed these historic events are not valued and kept, there will not be anything left as physical evidence to relate to our past.\r\n\r\nBy Clement Liang  ', 'Penang’s Disappearing Thai Heritage ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'penangs-disappearing-thai-heritage', '', '', '2013-02-23 18:06:12', '2013-02-23 10:06:12', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?page_id=350', 0, 'page', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (366, 1, '2013-02-18 10:11:37', '2013-02-18 02:11:37', '', 'blue', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'blue', '', '', '2013-02-18 10:11:37', '2013-02-18 02:11:37', '', 365, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/blue.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (486, 1, '2013-02-19 15:59:22', '2013-02-19 07:59:22', '', 'April 2012', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'april-2012', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:37', '2013-02-28 04:38:37', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=486', 83, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (365, 1, '2013-02-18 10:13:42', '2013-02-18 02:13:42', '

The Permanent Home of the Penang Heritage Trust

\r\n- 26 Church Street, George Town -\r\n\r\noffice1After many years of struggle, together with the effort and help of many individuals and organisations, and after many months of painstaking restoration work, PHT is delighted to have a permanent home.\r\n\r\nThe official opening ceremony of 26 Church Street took place at 10.00am, on Sunday, 25 June 2006. It was officiated by the Deputy Minister of Arts, Culture & Heritage, YB Dato\' Wong Kam Hoong, and witnessed by a distinguished list of invited guests.\r\nOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\r\n26 Church Street is believed to have been constructed more than 140 years ago around the 1860\'s.

However, the Penang Heritage Trust regards Intangible Cultural Assets encompassing skills, knowledge and techniques are equally essential and critical for the continuation of our Intangible Cultural Heritage.\r\n\r\nThe Living Heritage Treasures Awards of the Penang Heritage Trust was put in place in 2005, in a move to protect skills and techniques and the people possessing them. The skills these ‘masters’ carry with them need to be acknowledged, documented, preserved, promoted and transmitted. And because these individuals are often old and often lost somewhere in the contemporary technology rush, they are usually experiencing scarcity, vulnerability and loss of significance.  Promotion and dissemination will create greater public awareness and greater appreciation of tradition & skills, of crafts & of the individuals who have persisted, maintained, promoted & developed the cultural heritage of Penang.\r\n\r\nThe award will also ensure that recording and documentation take place. Techniques, practices and skills will be archived and hopefully transmitted. Locating the Intangible Heritage within the Tourism agenda would ensure an added-value experience for the visitor, while achieving sustainability of the skill.

1 November 2011
\r\n
\r\nIt is a sad day when see the treasures within the George Town World Heritage Site vandalised by Malaysians to make racial vandalpolitical statements. Bringing gutter politics into the realm of cultural heritage demonstrates a total lack of respect and understanding of what the world community has acknowledged as worthy of conserving for all humanity.\r\n\r\nThe Convent Light Street is the oldest girls school in the country founded in 1852, the school has struggled to collect money from its alumni and others to conduct their own restoration within the World Heritage Site. Since the 1990s, the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion has undergone a rigorous restoration at a time when conservation was virtually unknown in Penang and went against public opinion. It has set benchmark standards and helped conservation consciousness to become mainstream. The Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion has just been recognised as one of the 10 greatest mansions in the world -  how ironic that it should be defiled so callously.\r\n\r\nThe UNESCO World Heritage Listing for George Town is Malaysia\'s pride and honour, putting us on the same level as historic marvels like Angkor Wat and Rome and the Imperial Palace of Beijing. There would be an international outcry if any of these world monuments were vandalised by ignorant cowards in the middle of the night. The culprits who defiled what we all treasure as part of our shared past should be roundly condemned and brought to account for their actions.\r\n\r\nThe graffiti sprayed on the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Convent Light Street and Wisma MWE in the George Town World Heritage Site is an insult not only to the intended, but to all Malaysians and the international community. It is also an illegal act violating the rights of the property owners. What would Malaysians think if heritage buildings around Dataran Merdeka or Jalan Sultan in Kuala Lumpur were spray painted with senseless racist sentiments? A violently-presented racist message that runs deeply contrary to the Malaysian government\'s promotion of 1Malaysia can only scare off tourists and make Malaysians feel insecure. The Malaysian government can certainly do more to protect heritage properties by sowing awareness and a deep respect for heritage, cultural diversity, and the values of our George Town and Melaka World Heritage Site.', 'Heritage Vandalism', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '262-revision-2', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:54:58', '2013-02-17 10:54:58', '', 262, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=553', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (163, 1, '2013-02-17 15:58:06', '2013-02-17 07:58:06', ' ', '', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '163', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:37', '2013-02-28 04:38:37', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=163', 14, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (164, 1, '2013-02-17 15:57:10', '2013-02-17 07:57:10', '

\n\nThe September site visit, delayed on account of Ramadan and the Malaysia Day holidays, took place on Sunday, 19th September at the Church of Immaculate Conception on Burmah Road in Pulau Tikus. 45 PHT members and friends took part. The church was founded by Portuguese Eurasians who settled in Penang to escape persecution in Phuket. They were latecomers -- an earlier wave of Catholic immigrants arrived in Penang from Kedah in 1786 with Captain Francis Light and founded the Church of the Assumption on Farquhar Street. The Eurasian Catholic community in Phuket, although dwindling in numbers, remained in Phuket until the Phya Tak Massacre of 1810, which forced them to leave.\n\nThe Eurasians, or Serani (a Malay-language corruption of Nazarene, a reference to Jesus of Nazareth) as they were locally called, adopted local customs such as speaking Malay, and lived in kampong houses, similar to those in the Portuguese settlement in Malacca. There was a sizable Eurasian community in the Pulau Tikus area of Kelawai Road until after Independence, so much so that the area was called Kampong Serani, and local road names such as Leandro’s Lane still bear their imprint.\n\nThe present building of the Church of Immaculate Conception was erected in 1899, and was last renovated in the 1970s. With the moving away of the Eurasian community in recent years the congregation of the church has become predominantly Chinese.\n\nPHT members were briefed on the history of the church and the Eurasian community by Dr. Anthony Sibert, an authority on the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Penang. Dr. Sibert is author of Pulo Ticus 1810-1994: Mission Accomplished, a book soon to be published. He showed us the small museum housed in the northeast corner of the church and explained the many artifacts, documents and memorabilia displayed there. Members of the Immaculate Conception congregation are very proud of the fact that one of their priests was the only parish priest in Malaysia to be canonized (not counting St Francis Xavier). Jacques Honoré Chastan was a Roman Catholic missionary born in France. He taught at the College General in Penang 1828-1830 and served as the fourth parish priest of the Church of the Immaculate Conception 1830-1833. From Penang Father Chastan went on to carry out missionary work in China and Korea.  The Korean authorities became alarmed at the rate at which Koreans were converting to Catholicism and Father Chastan and his colleagues were arrested and martyred in 1839. Father Chastan was beatified by Pope Pius XI in 1925 and canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1984. A monument to St. Chastan was recently erected in the southwest corner of the church grounds facing Burma Road.\n\nBy Leslie A.K. James\n\n

Cintra Street and The Pre-War Japanese Community, January 2011

\r\n\r\nOn Sunday afternoon 9th January, 72 members and friends of PHT gathered at the corner of Cintra Street and Kampungcintra Malabar to follow a trail to the former Japanese quarter of Penang led by Clement Liang. Very little physical evidence remains today to remind us that any Japanese community ever existed there and only the names of the streets in Chinese and the interpretative signboards on the old wall bear witness to their presence once upon a time. During the visit, several century-old reprints showing the shops and hotels run by Japanese in the vicinity raised questions and curiosity as to why these people came all the way to Penang.\r\n\r\nIn the late 19th century, both Cintra Street and Campbell Street were the thriving red light districts of Penang. The Karayuki-san who went into prostitution overseas began when Penang as an entrepot had its first influx of Japanese people and cultural contact. Sailors and migrant workers thronging the streets in search of pleasures often found the petite Japanese girls clad in kimonos cute and accommodating.  But behind the smiling faces, these girls endured a life of hardship starting with the long arduous journey out of impoverished villages. Innocently believing in misleading offers of waitress job offers in restaurants and hotels overseas and trapped in money lending schemes that enslaved them for years, their situation was not very different from what we read in the newspapers about foreign prostitutes caught nowadays.\r\n\r\nThe arrival of hundreds of Karayuki-san later led to the formation of ‘Little Japan’ quarter around Cintra Street and Kampung Malabar in George Town which the local Chinese still fondly call Jipun Huey Kay and Jipun Sinlor. In 1910, the official census by the Japanese Consul-General counted 207 Japanese residents in Penang with over half of them involved in some sort of flesh trade. In fact, the majority of the tombs in the Penang Japanese Cemetery at Jalan P. Ramlee belonging to the young Karayuki-san who died from various sicknesses.\r\n\r\nThe success of the Meiji Restoration and the humiliating defeat of the Russian fleet in the Tsushima Straits in 1905 saw Japan emerge as a military power on the world stage. The presence of large numbers of Japanese prostitutes overseas could not longer be tolerated.  Working together with the British authorities, open prostitution in the Straits Settlements was finally banned in 1920’s and the fate of the Karayuki-san was sealed with most of them either returning to Japan, cohabiting with local men or simply going underground to continue the trade.\r\n\r\nAt the same time, the Japanese government was actively promoting foreign trade with Southeast Asian countries and encouraging its citizens to migrate overseas.  Penang received a fair share of these people in the form of photographers, pharmacists, hotel operators, barbers, dentists and traders in imported Japanese goods. Two of the well-known Japanese establishments in town were a sundry shop named Osakaya in Penang Road and Asahi Hotel in Transfer Road.\r\n\r\nBy the late 1930’s, Japan’s invasion of China heightened the conflicts between the Japanese and Chinese communities in Malaya and a series of boycott campaigns and attacks on Japanese shops and civilians drove the Japanese population of\r\nPenang down to around 50 just before war broke out. Eventually they were all rounded up and interned by the police as enemy aliens when war was declared in 1941. After the war, all the Japanese were repatriated and their property confiscated and it was not until 1960’s that  another wave of Japanese arrived, this time as investors and industrialists.\r\n\r\nAfter enjoying a cool break in an old fashioned coffee shop while listening to the stories shared by Clement and many others, the group went on to stroll along Cintra Street when the afternoon heat had subsided. Judging from the stream of questions asked, the site visit generated considerable much interest in this bygone community.\r\n\r\nText and images by Clement Liang', 'Cintra Street and The Pre-War Japanese Community', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '185-revision-3', '', '', '2013-02-23 16:18:50', '2013-02-23 08:18:50', '', 185, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=544', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (179, 1, '2013-02-17 17:23:11', '2013-02-17 09:23:11', '', 'Church of the Immaculate Conception', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'church-of-the-immaculate-conception-2', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:37', '2013-02-28 04:38:37', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=179', 33, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (181, 1, '2013-02-17 17:25:45', '2013-02-17 09:25:45', '', 'hospital1', 'Newsletter editor’s mother Nursing Sister D.M.

\n\nThe sprawling complex of Penang General Hospital was the venue for the PHT site visit on Sunday afternoon, 3rd October. Some 31 PHT members and friends assembled at the hospital’s main entrance in Block B. Now known as Hospital Pulau Pinang and previously as Hospital Besar Pulau Pinang, this is the biggest public hospital in Penang and second largest in the country. Lcated along Jalan Residensi, with various departments on the opposite side of the road as well as along Jalan Sepoy Lines, as a public hospital it provides health care and emergency treatment for all illnesses and accidents.\n\n[caption id="attachment_181" align="alignleft" width="300"]Newsletter editor’s mother Nursing Sister D.M. Preston with local children at Penang Hospital Newsletter editor’s mother Nursing Sister D.M. Preston with local children at Penang Hospital[/caption]\n\nThe Penang General Hospital traces its history to the Pauper’s Hospital started by Mun Ah Foo, a leader of the Ghee Hin Society. The aim of the hospital was to provide healthcare to the poor and needy as well as rehabilitation for opium smokers. After Mun Ah Foo passed on, the Pauper’s Hospital continued to be managed by a committee headed by Governor Archibald Anson, with representations from the Chinese clan associations, guilds and other pillars of 19th century society. During this period, the Leper Hospital was relocated to Pulau Jerejak, off the southeast coast of Penang, where it remained until the mid-20th century.\n\nIn the hospital grounds we viewed the monument to those who had made significant donations to the hospital in the early years, including the King of Siam. Unfortunately, enquiries as to the location of the memorial to Health & Medical Services staff killed in the Second World War drew a blank from the hospital officials acting as our guides. The unveiling of a commemorative plaque had been reported in The Straits Times on 2nd October, 1948.\n\nOther sites of interest which we were shown were the Nurses’ Mess built in the early 1930s and the nearby Matrons’ Residence, a beautiful and distinctive structure of older vintage in excellent condition. The latter deserves to be conserved although both are reportedly destined for replacement.\n\nPhotos: Newsletter editor’s mother Nursing Sister D.M.

\r\nPembentangan Rang Undang-Undang Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang 2011\r\nUcapan YB Wong Hon Wai (Air Itam) Exco Perancang Bandar Dan Desa , Perumahan Dan Kesenian Mengenai Pembentangan Rang Undang Undang Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang, 2011\r\npada 10-5-2011 di Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang\r\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nYang Berhormat Dato\' Speaker,\r\nPengiktirafan George Town sebagai tapak warisan Dunia UNESCO oleh World Heritage Committee pada 7 Julai 2008 di Quebec City memerlukan Kerajaan untuk menyediakan satu bentuk mekanisma pengurusan dan perundangan yang sesuai bagi memastikan tapak warisan Dunia UNESCO George Town dijaga.\r\n\r\nMekanisme Pengurusan\r\nDraf Rancangan Kawasan Khas (Draft Special Area Plan) dan Pelan Pengurusan Pemuliharaan Bandaraya Bersejarah Selat Melaka: George Town telah disediakan mengikut seksyen 16B, Akta Perancang Bandar dan Desa 1976 sebagai satu mekanisme pengurusan bagi memastikan bahawa kawalan pembangunan dan polisi berkenaan warisan dapat diimplementasikan dengan sewajarnya.\r\n\r\nMekanisme Perundangan\r\n\r\nKerajaan Negeri mengambil initiatif untuk menggariskan Rang Undang-Undang Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang 2011 yang bertujuan untuk mengadakan peruntukan bagi pengurusan, pemeliharaan dan pemuliharaan warisan kebudayaan dan warisan semula jadi bagi negeri Pulau Pinang.\r\n\r\nPeruntukan undang undang perihal warisan negeri Pulau Pinang ini dizahirkan dengan niat untuk mengiktiraf signifikasi elemen elemen warisan kebudayaan dan warisan semulajadi yang telah wujud sekian lama untuk kita tatapi dan hargai dan seterusnya untuk menjadi kebanggaan generasi akan datang .\r\n\r\nBidang kuasa Kerajaan Negeri\r\nSaya ingin merujuk kepada Jadual Kesembilan Senarai III bahawa subject matter culture, preservation of heritage adalah di bawah senarai bersama iaitu antara negeri dan persekutuan. Saya ingin menambah juga di bawah Senarai II – 12A bahawa libraries, museums, ancient and historical monuments and records and archaelogical sites and remains adalah di bawah senarai Negeri.\r\n\r\nIaitu Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang berkuasa untuk membuat enakmen warisan negeri Pulau Pinang seperti yang diperuntukan di bawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan.\r\nSelain daripada itu, mengikut Seksyen 30(a) Akta Warisan Kebangsaan 2005 bagi tapak-tapak warisan yang tidak mendapat keizinan Pihak Berkuasa Negeri, maka Kerajaan bolehlah mengambil alih tanggungjawab untuk memelihara dan memulihara tapak-tapak warisan tersebut dengan kaedah dan perundangan sendiri.\r\n\r\nDari segi isi kandungan Rang undang undang ini , disamping memperincikan tafsiran elemen elemen warisan negeri , ianya mengandungi perkara perkara berkaitan dengan ;-\r\n\r\n1. Fasal 4 dan Fasal 5 telah menggariskan penubuhan Majlis Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang bersama fungsiny. Penubuhan Majlis Warisan Negeri yang berfungsi sebagai badan tertinggi yang menetapkan dasar dan garispanduan berkaitan dengan warisan dalam negeri, disamping membuat pemantauan terhadap pelaksanan “conservation management plan” setiap tapak/bangunan warisan yang telah didaftarkan dalam Daftar warisan Negeri.\r\n\r\n2. Bahagian III Enakmen yang dicadangkan mengadakan peruntukan bagi pelantikan, fungsi dan kuasa Pesuruhjaya Warisan Negeri yang dipertanggungjawabkan untuk melaksanakan fungsi dan menjalankan kewajipan di bawah Rang Undang-undang ini. Pesuruhjaya Warisan Negeri terlibat dengan usaha dengan agensi lain Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan serta lain lain badan yang terlibat dengan usaha usaha pemeliharaan dan pemuliharaan warisan dalam negeri, meninjau dan menetapkan apa-apa warisan kebudayaan dan warisan semulajadi, membuat kerja kerja penyelidikan berkaitan warisan , disamping bertanggungjawab dalam menyediakan dan menjaga Daftar Warisan Negeri . Dalam hal ini perlantikan Pesuruhjaya warisan Negeri serta pegawai pegawai bantuannya adalah dari kalangan penjawat awam dalam pentadbiran Negeri.\r\n\r\n3. Bahagian IV Enakmen yang dicadangkan mengadakan peruntukan bagi tatacara penetapan warisan kebudayaan ketara dan warisan semula jadi sebagai tapak warisan dan perkara berkaitan warisan kebudayaan tidak ketara.\r\n\r\nProses pengenalpastian dan penetapan tapak warisan yang bermula dari kerja kerja tinjauan tapak/bangunan , notis pemberitahuan awam , bantahan awam , kelulusan Majlis , pewartaan dan seterusnya rayuan bagi pihak pihak yang terkilan.\r\nFasal 25 memperuntukkan bahawa seseorang yang terkilan dengan keputusan Pesuruhjya boleh membuat rayuan kepada Pihak Berkuasa Negeri dalam tempoh 30 hari daripada keputusan itu, dan keputusan Pihak Berkuasa Negeri adalah muktamad.\r\n\r\n4. Daftar warisan negeri yang mengandungi senarai lengkap tapak/ bangunan warisan, termasuklah warisan tidak ketara yang telah diwarta dan boleh di rujuk dan di periksa oleh orang awam pada waktu pejabat .\r\n\r\n5. Demi melindungi tapak warisan yang telah diwartakan, Fasal 32 mengenakan kewajipan kepada pemunya tapak warisan yang berhasrat untuk menjual keseluruhan atau mana-mana bahagian tapak warisan hendaklah memberitahu Pesuruhjaya secara bertulis maklumat tentang perjanjian penjualan dalam tempoh 28 hari dari tarikh perjanjian itu ditandatangani.\r\n\r\n6. Fasal 34 mengenakan tanggungawab kepada pemunya atau penghuni suatu tapak warisan untuk memastikan bahawa tapak itu sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik.\r\n\r\n7. Fasal 34(3) Jika Pesuruhjaya berpuas hati bahawa langkah-langkah yang munasabah tidak diambil bagi pemeliharaan sewajarnya tapak warisan itu, dia boleh menjalankan apa-apa kerja pembaikan, setelah memberikan kepada pemunya atau penghuni tapak itu 14 hari notis bertulis mengenai niatnya untuk membuat demikian dan segala kos dan belanja yang ditanggung semasa menjalankan kerja ini hendaklah dibayar balik oleh pemunya atau penghuni tapak itu.\r\n\r\n8. Bahagian VII Enakmen yang dicadangkan juga mengadakan peruntukan bagi pelantikan pegawai peguatkuasa dan pengeluaran kad kuasa untuk menjalankan kuasa yang diberi kepadanya.\r\n\r\n9. Fasal 49 menghendaki pemunya atau penghuni tapak warisan untuk mendapatkan persetujuan daripada Pesuruhjaya sebelum mengenakan apa-apa fi kemasukan ke mana-mana tapak warisan.\r\n\r\n10. Fasal 52 memperuntukan berkenaan kesalahan-kesalahan berkenaan dengan kerosakan tapak warisan dan sekiranya disabitkan didenda maksimum RM500,000 atau dipenjarakan maksimum 5 tahun atau kedua-duanya.\r\n\r\n11. Fasal 54 memperuntukan mana-mana orang yang menyebabkan kerosakan atau kemusnahan tapak warisan atau bahan warisan hendaklah membayar kos pembaikan bagi tapak atau bahan ini sebagai tambahan kepada denda atau penjara.\r\n\r\nDengan wujudnya Enakmen Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang ini , kerajaan negeri pastinya akan menjadi lebih komited dan bertanggungjawab untuk terus memelihara dan memulihara tapak tapak warisan serta juga warisan kebudayaan tidak ketara dengan kaedah dan perundangan yang lengkap dan teratur.\r\n\r\nUmum juga mengetahui bahawa negeri Pulau Pinang banyak mempunyai kawasan dan tapak tapak bersejarah yang perlu dipelihara dan dikekalkan sebagai warisan negeri. Setakat ini sahaja terdapat sebanyak 24 tapak/bangunan bersejarah di seluruh negeri yang perlu didaftar sebagai warisan negeri, termasuklah bangunan pentadbiran MPPP di Padang Kota , Bangunan Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang , dll. Walau bagaimana pun , saya fikir masih terdapat banyak lagi tapak dan bangunan bersejarah di seluruh negeri Pulau Pinang yang masih belum diterokai dan belum diberi perhatian yang secukupnya samada di bahagian pulau mahu pun di Seberang Perai.\r\n\r\nApabila menggariskan Rang Undang-undang ini, pertimbangan khas telah diambil bahawa warisan bukan sahaja wujud di George Town. Skop pemakaian RUU ini meliputi seluruh Pulau Pinang di mana tapak warisan yang dikenapasti dan didaftarkan. Skop Pemakaian RUU ini juga merangkumi bukan sahaja bangunan warisan tetapi meliputi warisan semulajadi dan warisan budaya tidak ketara.\r\n\r\nOleh yang demikian , dengan terlaksananya Enakmen warisan Negeri ini serta dengan tenaga kepakaran yang ada , diharapkan lebih banyak tapak dan bangunan warisan yang akan dikenalpasti , didaftar dan di pelihara dengan lebih terjamin dan sistematik., Dalam pada itu , barang diingat , kewujudan warisan kebudayaan tidak ketara yang meliputi aspek budaya dan adat resam , hasil kesenian anak negeri yang unik akan juga akan dikenalpasti , didaftar dan di pelihara dibawah peruntukan enakmen warisan ini.\r\n\r\nSaya menggunakan platform ini ingin mengulangi seruan Kerajaan Negeri kepada Kerajaan Pusat bahawa peruntukan adil RM 25 juta seperti RM 30 juta kepada Melaka daripada kerajaan persekutuan perlu diberi kepada Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang. Kerajaan Persekutuan tidak melaksanakan keadilan dalam hal ini. Ini seolah-olah satu Negara dua sistem dalam hal ini. Walau bagaimanapun, Kerajaan Negeri tidak pernah ketinggalan di dalam usaha untuk mempromosikan Negeri Pulau Pinang amnya dan Tapak Warisan Dunia George Town khususnya. Kerajaan Negeri juga sentiasa berusaha untuk melipat-gandakan program-program yang di Tapak Warisan Dunia George Town walaupun Kerajaan Negeri masih tidak mendapat peruntukan kewangan RM25 juta seperti yang dijanjikan oleh mantan Perdana Menteri.

Very little physical evidence remains today to remind us that any Japanese community ever existed there and only the names of the streets in Chinese and the interpretative signboards on the old wall bear witness to their presence once upon a time. During the visit, several century-old reprints showing the shops and hotels run by Japanese in the vicinity raised questions and curiosity as to why these people came all the way to Penang.\n\nIn the late 19th century, both Cintra Street and Campbell Street were the thriving red light districts of Penang. The Karayuki-san who went into prostitution overseas began when Penang as an entrepot had its first influx of Japanese people and cultural contact. Sailors and migrant workers thronging the streets in search of pleasures often found the petite Japanese girls clad in kimonos cute and accommodating.  But behind the smiling faces, these girls endured a life of hardship starting with the long arduous journey out of impoverished villages. Innocently believing in misleading offers of waitress job offers in restaurants and hotels overseas and trapped in money lending schemes that enslaved them for years, their situation was not very different from what we read in the newspapers about foreign prostitutes caught nowadays.\n\nThe arrival of hundreds of Karayuki-san later led to the formation of ‘Little Japan’ quarter around Cintra Street and Kampung Malabar in George Town which the local Chinese still fondly call Jipun Huey Kay and Jipun Sinlor. In 1910, the official census by the Japanese Consul-General counted 207 Japanese residents in Penang with over half of them involved in some sort of flesh trade. In fact, the majority of the tombs in the Penang Japanese Cemetery at Jalan P. Ramlee belonging to the young Karayuki-san who died from various sicknesses.\n\nThe success of the Meiji Restoration and the humiliating defeat of the Russian fleet in the Tsushima Straits in 1905 saw Japan emerge as a military power on the world stage. The presence of large numbers of Japanese prostitutes overseas could not longer be tolerated.  Working together with the British authorities, open prostitution in the Straits Settlements was finally banned in 1920’s and the fate of the Karayuki-san was sealed with most of them either returning to Japan, cohabiting with local men or simply going underground to continue the trade.\n\nAt the same time, the Japanese government was actively promoting foreign trade with Southeast Asian countries and encouraging its citizens to migrate overseas.  Penang received a fair share of these people in the form of photographers, pharmacists, hotel operators, barbers, dentists and traders in imported Japanese goods. Two of the well-known Japanese establishments in town were a sundry shop named Osakaya in Penang Road and Asahi Hotel in Transfer Road.\n\nBy the late 1930’s, Japan’s invasion of China heightened the conflicts between the Japanese and Chinese communities in Malaya and a series of boycott campaigns and attacks on Japanese shops and civilians drove the Japanese population of\nPenang down to around 50 just before war broke out. Eventually they were all rounded up and interned by the police as enemy aliens when war was declared in 1941. After the war, all the Japanese were repatriated and their property confiscated and it was not until 1960’s that  another wave of Japanese arrived, this time as investors and industrialists.\n\nAfter enjoying a cool break in an old fashioned coffee shop while listening to the stories shared by Clement and many others, the group went on to stroll along Cintra Street when the afternoon heat had subsided. Judging from the stream of questions asked, the site visit generated considerable much interest in this bygone community.\n\nText and images by Clement Liang', 'Cintra Street and The Pre-War Japanese Community', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '185-revision', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:30:34', '2013-02-17 09:30:34', '', 185, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=187', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (188, 1, '2013-02-17 17:31:53', '2013-02-17 09:31:53', '', 'Cintra Street & Pre-War Japanese Community', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '188', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:37', '2013-02-28 04:38:37', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=188', 30, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (190, 1, '2013-02-17 17:36:04', '2013-02-17 09:36:04', '', 'ipoh5', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'ipoh5', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:36:04', '2013-02-17 09:36:04', '', 189, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ipoh5.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (191, 1, '2013-02-17 17:36:06', '2013-02-17 09:36:06', '', 'ipoh1', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'ipoh1', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:36:06', '2013-02-17 09:36:06', '', 189, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ipoh1.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (192, 1, '2013-02-17 17:36:08', '2013-02-17 09:36:08', '', 'ipoh2', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'ipoh2', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:36:08', '2013-02-17 09:36:08', '', 189, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ipoh2.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (193, 1, '2013-02-17 17:36:10', '2013-02-17 09:36:10', '', 'ipoh3', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'ipoh3', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:36:10', '2013-02-17 09:36:10', '', 189, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ipoh3.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (194, 1, '2013-02-17 17:36:12', '2013-02-17 09:36:12', '', 'ipoh4', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'ipoh4', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:36:12', '2013-02-17 09:36:12', '', 189, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ipoh4.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (195, 1, '2013-02-17 17:37:40', '2013-02-17 09:37:40', 'Ipoh and The Kinta Valley, June 2011ipoh1\n\nAfter a postponement in March, a site visit five years in the making finally saw the light of day when on Saturday morning 18th June 20 PHT members including our guide Tim and Sheau Fung, our manager, assisted by Pei Ling, assembled at the Caring Society Complex. The bus left at 8.20 a.m. and reached the Regal Lodge hotel in Ipoh at 11.30a.m. En route, Tim gave a brief introduction to the history of Ipoh and the Kinta Valley. Villages sprouted up along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaya because of the proximity to the sea but it was because of tin discovered and mined in these areas that we have the inland towns that developed into cities such as Taiping, Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur. The earlier wave of Chinese migrants who migrated to Penang and the northern region came from Fujian province where the Hokkien dialect is spoken. It was these Chinese who mined the tin in Taiping. When new tin mines were started in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur, a new wave of immigrants arrived from Canton, the reason why the main dialect in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur is Cantonese.\nAfter leaving our luggage at the hotel, we set out for the most important stop for most Malaysians, a food stop! The bus dropped us off at what was considered the food capital in Ipoh. With several coffee shops to select from, most of the group ended up having bean sprouts chicken before stocking up on biscuits and other dry food products from nearby shops.\n\nPAPAN AND SYBIL KATHIGASU\n\nOur first stop after lunch was Papan where we visited Sybil Kathigasu’s house and makeshift clinic.\n\nOur host and guide for the day was Law Saik Hong of the Perak Heritage Society. The humble house where Sybil performed her heroic deeds stands alone in what was once a row of shophouses. Papan today is a sleepy town where the population is on the decline as most young people have moved to bigger towns in search of greener pastures. Saik Hong showed us various artefacts and shared stories of Sybil’s bravery during the Japanese occupation. She secretly kept a shortwave radio and listened to BBC broadcasts. One can still see today the hole in the floor underneath the staircase where she hid the radio. She also secretly provided medical supplies and services and information to the resistance forces until she and her family were arrested in 1943. Despite being interrogated and tortured by the Japanese military police, Sybil refused to cooperate and was detained in the Batu Gajah jail. After Malaya was liberated in August 1945, she was flown to Britain for medical treatment. At a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in October 1947 she was awarded the George Medal, the only woman in Malaya to receive this award for bravery.*\n\nOur next stop was the house of Raja Bilah, the headman of Papan, just a short walk from Sybil’s shophouse. The Sumatran nobleman’s home was restored by the National Museum several years ago and has since been used as a location in several films, most notably Anna and the King.\n\nBATU GAJAH\n\nFrom Papan, we made our way by coach to Batu Gajah Jail and the cemetery known as “God’s Little Acre.” Here, we visited the graves of the three English planters whose deaths at Sungei Siput on 16th June 1948 resulted in the declaration of the Malayan Emergency (1948 -1960).** Before leaving Batu Gajah we had a final stop at the lovely hospital which also enabled us to view the church and the surrounding administrative buildings.\n\nTIN DREDGE\n\nOur next stop was to the last remaining tin dredge in Malaysia. It is a remarkable example of engineering. Opened to the public in 2008, it is badly in need of repair (tilting to one side with water seeping in) but it is a great place to explore and marvel at for its sheer size. Walking onto the tin dredge was like stepping back in time. The cavernous interior was silent, but when the dredger was in full operation, the noise would have been unbearable. One can imagine when it was fully operational; its huge buckets scooping and transporting alluvial to its body. The excavated material was then broken up by jets of water as it fell onto revolving screens. The tin-bearing alluvial then passed to a primary separating plant. Large stones and rubble were retained by the screens. The largest dredge could dig continuously to depths of up to 200 metres below water. It could handle over three-quarters of a million cubic metres of material per month. The first tin dredge was introduced by Malayan Tin Dredging Ltd. in the Kinta Valley tin fields in 1913.  During the heyday of the tin mining industry in 1940, there were 123 dredges in operation. This number began to diminish after 1981. By the end of 1983 there were only 38 dredges left. Although it looks too big to move, these massive dredges once devoured swamps and jungles as they searched hungrily for tin deposits, reshaping the local topography at the same time. Kinta Valley is now full of ponds due to the mining process. Members who went to the top of the dredger had a bird’s eye view over the surrounding ponds. At the entrance to the dredge there is a small museum displaying a selection of tools. It was here that some members bought custard apples from the museum’s fruit orchard. After a refreshing jelly dessert drink in Tanjung Tualang, we visited a nearby seafood restaurant for dinner before returning to Ipoh. One member remarked that tualang in Hokkien refers to grown-ups, so we really felt still like kids (gheena in Hokkien) amongst the tualang there!\n\nIPOH HERITAGE WALK\n\nNext morning after a sumptuous breakfast of dim sum and other local hawker favourites, we were met by Mark Lay and several key members of the Kinta Heritage Society. The head of the State Legislative Council for Tourism also made a brief appearance.\n\nFollowing the Ipoh Heritage Walk maps produced by the State with the help of Kinta Heritage Society, we set out on foot, led by Mark. Mark was one of the key people involved in producing these self-guided walks. He shared many interesting anecdotes as we made our way to the major sites. It was a balmy morning and the overcast sky without the direct sunlight made it easier to walk. Sites that the group managed to cover included the Ipoh Railway Station (also known as the “Taj Mahal of Ipoh”), the Cenotaph in front of the railway station, the Court House, Church of St John the Divine, Ipoh ‘Padang’ (field), the Indian Muslim Mosque and St Michael’s Institution. The group then proceeded to the Birch Memorial Clock Tower passing a few heritage buildings in the Old Town ‘high street’ such as the Mercantile Bank Building and HSBC Building. The tour ended with a walk through Concubine Lane, a narrow lane flanked by quaint pre-war shophouses believed to have been inhabited by concubines belonging to rich mining merchants. Ipoh does have a reputation of having fair maidens!\n\nBefore leaving Ipoh, we had lunch at one of Ipoh’s most famous coffee shops, located at the end of Concubine Lane.  Considered as a food institution by some where Ipoh’s heritage food can be savoured, members enjoyed the wide hawker selection. Some members even ta pao (takeaway) food back home! It was indeed a weekend to remember, equal parts of interesting sites, stories, people, and of course food! The best part is that Kinta Valley is just a stone’s throw away from Penang, so one can always go back for more!\n\nBy Eric Yeoh\n\nEditor’s Notes:\n*Sybil Kathigasu’s own remarkable story is related in her autobiography No Dram of Mercy (Kuala Lumpur, Prometheus Enterprise, 2006). Sadly, after several operations Sybil Kathigasu died in England from complications due to the injuries she suffered at the hands of the Kempetei.\n\n**The three planters murdered by communist terrorists at Sungei Siput were A.E Walker, J.A. Allison and J.D. Christian. “God’s Little Acre” contains the graves of many planters, tin miners, policemen and servicemen killed during the Emergency and is the site of an annual ceremony of remembrance on the closest Saturday to the anniversary date of 16th June.

Lee Rubber Factory, October 2011

rubber\n\nPAYA TERUBONG, PENANG - The last remaining rubber factory on the island, the Lee Rubber Co Pte Ltd in Paya Terubong, is due to close down early in 2012, after operating for 50 years. A large group of PHT members were given a rare chance on 2 October of a guided tour through the production plant, together with a fascinating illustrated presentation on the A-to-Z of the rubber business by Mr Ooi Boon Chye, the Lee Rubber Group Quality Assurance Manager of 43 years’ service.\nThe factory is closing due to Company plans to consolidate production in the Company’s several other mainland factories, situated closer to sources of raw rubber material. Raw rubber is no longer produced in commercial quantities on Penang Island and the raw material for the Penang factory is now being transported in entirely from sources outside the island.\n\nLocated in the Paya Terubong Valley, the factory with its blue roof can be seen to the left (east) side of the road as you travel south up the valley, just below the high-rise clusters at the top end of the valley. The factory was originally built in 1954-5 by another rubber company and was acquired in 1970, being then the largest rubber factory in Penang, by Lee Rubber which moved here from Lee’s earlier Penang factory located in Ghaut Lebuh Noordin, Georgetown.\n\nThe founder of Lee Rubber Company was the Singaporean entrepreneur and philanthropist Lee Kong Chiang (1893-1967), who built his first rubber factory in Muar, Johor in 1927. His company grew rapidly into a multi-million dollar rubber business and expanded extensively into pineapple plantations and canning. The well-known Lee Rubber building in Art deco style in central KL, close to the old central market, dates from the early days of the business in the 1930s .\n\nLee Rubber subsequently expanded into further sectors, notably banking (OCBC Bank) and real estate development, and the Lee Rubber Group’s portfolio today also includes palm oil production, edible oil products and biscuit production. In rubber, Lee Rubber Company remains a processor and does not own or operate rubber plantations itself.\nrubber2\nDuring the growth of the rubber business Lee Rubber established production plants in a number of locations in peninsular Malaya and in Indonesia. Today, Lee Rubber accounts for a significant portion of the entire Malaysia rubber output. The Group remains incorporated in Singapore and under the control of the founding family.\n\nPHT is extremely thankful to My Ooi Boon Chye for his presentation, as well as to Mr Huang Thiay Sherng, the Group General Manager for Rubber, who welcomed the PHT visitors and Mr Chew Chee Beng, the Lee Rubber Penang Branch Manager, who led the factory tour. The refreshments provided by the Company at the end of the visit, including samples of the Company’s food products, were much appreciated.\n\nA vast range of interesting points about rubber were laid out by Mr Ooi Boon Chy during his illustrated briefing. A few of these are given below.\n\nRubber Trees\n\nYou can recognise a rubber tree (hevea brasiliensis) by its distinctive clusters of three long leaves at the end of each branch (hanging downwards like an umbrella). The rubber tree originates from the Amazon region of Brazil and is one of several tree families which produce a white latex-like sap. and the first recorded rubber tree was planted here in 1877. Once mature (which takes a minimum of 5 years, a rubber tree is economically good for 10-20 years, thereafter declining and becoming uneconomic – although the trees may well be able to survive for as long as 100 years or more. Tree life is very much affected by the quality of tapping and the care taken in the progressive removal of sections of the tree’s outer bark.\n\nUses of rubber\n\nIt is believed that Christopher Columbus first brought rubber to Europe in the 1490s after seeing local inhabitants, during his travels in the Americas, playing a game with bouncing balls. However, no great uses for rubber were developed until the early 19th century after Charles Goodyear discovered the vulcanization process in 1839 (heat-treating rubber with sulphur), which renders the rubber unaffected by changes in temperature. The rapidly developing road transportation sector (tyres, inner tubes, automotive belts) subsequently became and remains the principal factor driving the demand for natural rubber. Transportation today consumes 70% of the world’s output of natural rubber and the demand from this sector looks set to expand steadily. Even with the evolution of tyre specifications to include chemical, textile and metallic ingredients, natural rubber today still accounts for 17% by weight of the typical car radial tyre and 34% of the typical truck radial tyre.\n\nRubber tree tappingrubber3\n\nRubber trees have to be tapped diagonally downwards from left to right and not right to left, in order to cut the latex-bearing veins at the optimum angle to maximise extraction of the raw latex. Tapping is very skilled work, given the objectives of maximising the capture of latex and at the same time ensuring long productive life for the tree. It has not so far proven possible to mechanise this process on any scale (although hand-held electric tapping cutter tools have been tried) and it therefore continues to depend on human skill.\n\nProduction process\n\nRubber in its raw latex form is usually received at the factory by truck in large bulk container loads, with the rubber in ‘cup-lump’ form – naturally coagulated into small lumps – seen here in the receiving bay at Lee Rubber Co. A multi-layer structure of middlemen and dealers is often involved in collecting the raw rubber from farmers and batching it into economic quantities for delivery to the processors, such as Lee Rubber Co. Production comprises a number of mechanical processes, including washing, blending and drying the material, before forming it into standard size slabs or sheets for delivery to the final users, principally the automotive tyre manufacturers.\n\nProduction issues\n\nThe production process involves a number of issues and challenges. Principal among those mentioned by Lee Rubber was the contamination (foreign matter and other impurities) found in the cup lumps on arrival at the processing plant. This is a perpetual problem due to lax quality standards in the early stages of the rubber collection process. Other significant issues include the environmental issues of odour and other pollution resulting from the factory process, which can become significant community issues. On the plantation side, far from it being a simple process of planting and growing tress and then harvesting the latex, considerable scientific resources are permanently dedicated to R&D in matters such as tree species and subspecies; development and testing of new and more productive clones; pests, diseases and their containment; and planning and testing of new routines, schedules and techniques for the actual tapping operations.\n\nRubber plantations vs oil palm plantations\n\nThe current and forecast long term trends in natural rubber prices (rising) compared with those of palm oil prices (falling) indicate that traditional plantation companies which have actively converted their planted areas from rubber to palm oil may not have made the best strategic choice.\n\nBy Brian Walling', 'Lee Rubber Factory', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '197-autosave', '', '', '2013-02-23 17:51:44', '2013-02-23 09:51:44', '', 197, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=558', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (196, 1, '2013-02-17 17:39:38', '2013-02-17 09:39:38', ' ', '', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '196', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:37', '2013-02-28 04:38:37', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=196', 29, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (197, 1, '2013-02-17 17:42:55', '2013-02-17 09:42:55', '

The factory was originally built in 1954-5 by another rubber company and was acquired in 1970, being then the largest rubber factory in Penang, by Lee Rubber which moved here from Lee’s earlier Penang factory located in Ghaut Lebuh Noordin, Georgetown.\r\n\r\nThe founder of Lee Rubber Company was the Singaporean entrepreneur and philanthropist Lee Kong Chiang (1893-1967), who built his first rubber factory in Muar, Johor in 1927. His company grew rapidly into a multi-million dollar rubber business and expanded extensively into pineapple plantations and canning. The well-known Lee Rubber building in Art deco style in central KL, close to the old central market, dates from the early days of the business in the 1930s .\r\n\r\nLee Rubber subsequently expanded into further sectors, notably banking (OCBC Bank) and real estate development, and the Lee Rubber Group’s portfolio today also includes palm oil production, edible oil products and biscuit production. In rubber, Lee Rubber Company remains a processor and does not own or operate rubber plantations itself.\r\nrubber2\r\nDuring the growth of the rubber business Lee Rubber established production plants in a number of locations in peninsular Malaya and in Indonesia. Today, Lee Rubber accounts for a significant portion of the entire Malaysia rubber output. The Group remains incorporated in Singapore and under the control of the founding family.\r\n\r\nPHT is extremely thankful to My Ooi Boon Chye for his presentation, as well as to Mr Huang Thiay Sherng, the Group General Manager for Rubber, who welcomed the PHT visitors and Mr Chew Chee Beng, the Lee Rubber Penang Branch Manager, who led the factory tour. The refreshments provided by the Company at the end of the visit, including samples of the Company’s food products, were much appreciated.\r\n\r\nA vast range of interesting points about rubber were laid out by Mr Ooi Boon Chy during his illustrated briefing. A few of these are given below.\r\n\r\nRubber Trees\r\n\r\nYou can recognise a rubber tree (hevea brasiliensis) by its distinctive clusters of three long leaves at the end of each branch (hanging downwards like an umbrella). The rubber tree originates from the Amazon region of Brazil and is one of several tree families which produce a white latex-like sap. and the first recorded rubber tree was planted here in 1877. Once mature (which takes a minimum of 5 years, a rubber tree is economically good for 10-20 years, thereafter declining and becoming uneconomic – although the trees may well be able to survive for as long as 100 years or more. Tree life is very much affected by the quality of tapping and the care taken in the progressive removal of sections of the tree’s outer bark.\r\n\r\nUses of rubber\r\n\r\nIt is believed that Christopher Columbus first brought rubber to Europe in the 1490s after seeing local inhabitants, during his travels in the Americas, playing a game with bouncing balls. However, no great uses for rubber were developed until the early 19th century after Charles Goodyear discovered the vulcanization process in 1839 (heat-treating rubber with sulphur), which renders the rubber unaffected by changes in temperature. The rapidly developing road transportation sector (tyres, inner tubes, automotive belts) subsequently became and remains the principal factor driving the demand for natural rubber. Transportation today consumes 70% of the world’s output of natural rubber and the demand from this sector looks set to expand steadily. Even with the evolution of tyre specifications to include chemical, textile and metallic ingredients, natural rubber today still accounts for 17% by weight of the typical car radial tyre and 34% of the typical truck radial tyre.\r\n\r\nRubber tree tappingrubber3\r\n\r\nRubber trees have to be tapped diagonally downwards from left to right and not right to left, in order to cut the latex-bearing veins at the optimum angle to maximise extraction of the raw latex. Tapping is very skilled work, given the objectives of maximising the capture of latex and at the same time ensuring long productive life for the tree. It has not so far proven possible to mechanise this process on any scale (although hand-held electric tapping cutter tools have been tried) and it therefore continues to depend on human skill.\r\n\r\nProduction process\r\n\r\nRubber in its raw latex form is usually received at the factory by truck in large bulk container loads, with the rubber in ‘cup-lump’ form – naturally coagulated into small lumps – seen here in the receiving bay at Lee Rubber Co. A multi-layer structure of middlemen and dealers is often involved in collecting the raw rubber from farmers and batching it into economic quantities for delivery to the processors, such as Lee Rubber Co. Production comprises a number of mechanical processes, including washing, blending and drying the material, before forming it into standard size slabs or sheets for delivery to the final users, principally the automotive tyre manufacturers.\r\n\r\nProduction issues\r\n\r\nThe production process involves a number of issues and challenges. Principal among those mentioned by Lee Rubber was the contamination (foreign matter and other impurities) found in the cup lumps on arrival at the processing plant. This is a perpetual problem due to lax quality standards in the early stages of the rubber collection process. Other significant issues include the environmental issues of odour and other pollution resulting from the factory process, which can become significant community issues. On the plantation side, far from it being a simple process of planting and growing tress and then harvesting the latex, considerable scientific resources are permanently dedicated to R&D in matters such as tree species and subspecies; development and testing of new and more productive clones; pests, diseases and their containment; and planning and testing of new routines, schedules and techniques for the actual tapping operations.\r\n\r\nRubber plantations vs oil palm plantations\r\n\r\nThe current and forecast long term trends in natural rubber prices (rising) compared with those of palm oil prices (falling) indicate that traditional plantation companies which have actively converted their planted areas from rubber to palm oil may not have made the best strategic choice.\r\n\r\nBy Brian Walling', 'Lee Rubber Factory', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'lee-rubber-factory', '', '', '2013-02-23 17:52:00', '2013-02-23 09:52:00', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?page_id=197', 0, 'page', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (198, 1, '2013-02-17 17:41:49', '2013-02-17 09:41:49', '', 'rubber', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'rubber', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:41:49', '2013-02-17 09:41:49', '', 197, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/rubber.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (199, 1, '2013-02-17 17:42:24', '2013-02-17 09:42:24', '', 'rubber2', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'rubber2', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:42:24', '2013-02-17 09:42:24', '', 197, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/rubber2.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (200, 1, '2013-02-17 17:42:47', '2013-02-17 09:42:47', '', 'rubber3', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'rubber3', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:42:47', '2013-02-17 09:42:47', '', 197, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/rubber3.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (201, 1, '2013-02-17 17:42:49', '2013-02-17 09:42:49', 'Lee Rubber Factory, October 2011rubber\n\nPAYA TERUBONG, PENANG - The last remaining rubber factory on the island, the Lee Rubber Co Pte Ltd in Paya Terubong, is due to close down early in 2012, after operating for 50 years.

The Urban Conservation Network in Asia and Its Future

\r\n\r\nPenang Heritage Trust co-organised a symposium which brought together 14 heritage organisations and speakers from 10 Asian countries, namely: Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Bhutan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar and Malaysia.\r\n\r\nurban\r\n\r\nThe details of the programme are as follow:-\r\n\r\nThe Urban Conservation Network in Asia and Its Future:\r\nHeritage, Cultural Identities and Asian Dynamism\r\n12-14 January 2013, George Town World Heritage Site\r\n\r\nThe Asia and West-Pacific Network for Urban Conservation (AWPNUC) was established in 1991 and the participating citizens\' organizations have continued their exchange of experience and know-how up to the present. In the last 20 years, the situation of urban conservation by citizens\' organizations has advanced in many participating cities, and as a result, some cities have been listed as the UNESCO world heritage sites. On the other hand, although Asian cities enjoy rapid economic growth, urban heritage and historic communities in most of these cities are still in crisis. We need new strategies to keep up with Asian dynamism based on local knowledge and traditional approaches, to conserve all historic communities and help them to survive the powerful impacts of global economy.\r\n\r\nThe symposium promoted the exchange of opinions about recent heritage activities in Asian cities and the promotion of citizens\' networks in the future, from the viewpoint of global society, living communities including intangible cultural heritage, and the survival of local cultural identities. At the same time, we would like to build a new flexible Asian network by making better use of web platforms and social media.\r\n\r\nOrganised by Nara Machizukuri Center, Japan.

Bungalows at Kelawai Road

kelawai1\r\n
21 September 2011
\r\n
\r\nIt comes to our attention that there is proposal to demolish a few bungalows at Kelawai Road.\r\n\r\nWe welcome your feedback and input if you have information about the buildings or the development plan.\r\n\r\nThank you very much.\r\n\r\nPenang’s Disappearing Thai Heritage \r\n\r\nPenang Island has traditionally been called Koh Maak (or “Number One Island”) by the Thais, not surprising given that Penang was at one time part of a Siamese vassal state together with Kedah which was also known as Saiburi. In a letter to the Government of India in Bengal in 1793 (seven years after the establishment of Penang as an East India Company settlement), Captain Francis Light described the main communities in Penang and noted the presence of 100 Burmese and Thais. The 1828 census of Penang reported a total population of 22,503, out of which 1,117 were Thais and Burmese, mostly living in Teluk Ayer Raja, now Pulau Tikus, (665 people) and  Kuala Muda (256 people).\r\n\r\nBesides the mass migration of the Eurasian community from southern Siam to Penang during Light’s time, the Thai community in Penang was   attracted by the abundant opportunities and grew constantly over the years under the auspices of the British.  In 1845, the community sought a piece of land and Queen Victoria granted them a five-acre site in Pulau Tikus as a gesture to promote trade with Siam. The land grant was presented by W.L. Butterworth, Governor of the Straits Settlements (1843–1855). It is interesting to note that a British-Siam boundary stone was erected at Pinang Tunggal, north of Province Wellesley, in the 1800s to mark the official border between Siam and Penang. The stone still stands in the same spot today.\r\nkelawai2\r\nIn the eyes of the Thais, Penang by the turn of the 20th century was an advanced state and well managed by the British authorities. Penang was and still is a favourite place for Thais to seek an English education and hence was nicknamed “the other London”.  King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V), taught by the British governess Anna Leonowens (whose husband is buried in Penang) was the first Western-educated Siamese king. He paid an official visit to Penang in 1890 to study the government administration. In 1897, when he visited Europe, he stopped over at Chakrabongse House where he was received by the household of the Sultan of Kedah, at that time still a vassal state of Siam. When King Prajadhipok (King Rama VI) visited Penang in 1929, he stayed at Asdang House on Northam Road. Asdang House and Chakrabongse House were built by Phya Rasada Nupradit of Ranong, better known as Khaw Sim Bee, of the legendary Sino-Thai family whose illustrious members were appointed by King Chulalongkorn as governors of the southern west-coast provinces of Siam, stretching from Ranong, Phuket to Trang.  To enhance the prestige of Siam, Khaw donated a piece of prime real estate at the Esplanade to the public. Called Ranong Ground, the football-size field was meant for public recreation. It has completely disappeared and today is the site of Dewan Sri Pinang.\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House and Asdang House were the venue of numerous parties and receptions especially for visiting dignitaries from Bangkok. Named after the sons of King Chulalongkorn, the two houses were built back to back, with Chakrabongse facing the sea and Asdang House facing the road. Asdang House was sold and later became the Metropole Hotel. Unfortunately, it was illegally demolished on Christmas Day in 1993 and the Mayfair condominium was built on the site. After being fined RM50,000 and instructed by the MPPP to reconstruct the entrance hall, the developer erected a mock-up façade of the original Asdang House. Chakrabongse met a similar fate in the 1970s when it was demolished to build a multi-storey family apartment.\r\nkelawai3\r\nChakrabongse House\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House was described in glowing terms by the Penang Gazette at its house warming by Prince Chakrabongse in 1904:\r\n\r\n“Mr Khaw Sim Bee has taste and very thorough notions of comfort. Standing on the brink of the sea, with its verandahs opening on lovely view of the harbour and purple heights of Kedah beyond, the position of the new house could scarcely be surpassed in Penang.\r\n\r\n“Its snowy whiteness backed by the dark green of palms and flanked with tennis courts will render it the home beautiful indeed. The floors have marble in the halls and on the verandahs. The dinning and drawing rooms are large enough for huge gatherings, and the latter might easily accommodate four or five sets of Lancers.”\r\n\r\nDuring the Japanese occupation, the houses were appropriated by the Japanese military forces. After the war they were returned to Khaw Sim Bee’s only son in Penang, Khaw Joo Chye, who inherited Chakrabongse House and had other properties including 20 Pykett Avenue. Sadly, the Pykett Avenue property met the same fate as Asdang House. It was illegally demolished on 26th July 2010, a few days ahead of a heritage building assessment to be conducted by MPPP.\r\n\r\nIn the 1930s, a new group of Thai royal dignitaries and politicians resided in Penang. Political turmoil in Bangkok caused by the failure of democratic reform and a coup d’état in 1932 forced the first elected Thai Prime Minister Phaya Manopakorn Nititada and Prince Damrong Rajanubhab and Prince Svasti Sophon, both sons of King Rama V, to flee to Penang and seek refuge. They took up residence at Burmah Lane, Kelawai Road and Burmah Road and lived a conspicuous lifestyle. Their exchange of letters with their Bangkok counterparts and family members as well as the documented visits from their friends vividly describe their life in Penang during those years. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab’s memoirs of his residence at “Cinnamon Hall”, 15 Kelawai Road , became a famous classic reading book for all Thais. Cinnamon Hall was demolished long ago but many Thais who visit Penang are curious about this building and try to locate its whereabouts.\r\nkelawai4\r\nPraya Manopakorn never returned to Thailand and died in Penang in 1947. Two streets off Jalan Bagan Jermal were named after him, Jalan Mano and Solok Mano. Prince Svasti Sophon died in Penang in 1935 and his funeral at Wat Pinbang Onn on Green Lane witnessed a gathering of VIPs from Thailand and local officials. He was formerly the Minister of Defence and his daughter was married to King Rama VII. In 1942 Prince Damrong Rajanubuab was allowed to return to Bangkok where he died the following year. Prince Damrong was credited with founding the modern Thai education system and the modern provincial administration. From his books on Thai literature, culture and art works grew the National Library, as well as the National Museum. On the centenary of his birth in 1962, he became the first Thai included in the UNESCO list of the world’s most distinguished persons.  In April 2011, a group of historians from Bangkok interviewed the 92-year-old sister-in-law of Praya Mano, Prabandh Sanasen, who has lived in Penang for 80 years following her brother-in-law’s exile to Penang. Her recorded memories fill a gap in the history of Thailand and Penang.\r\n\r\nOn the evening of 20th October, 2011, one of the bungalows at Burmah Lane where the Thai royal dignitaries used to livekelawai5 was demolished and reduced to a heap of rubble to make way for a yet-to-be approved high-rise development. It is understood that MPPP gave a conservation order only for the second bungalow on the spurious grounds that there was no need to conserve all bungalows of similar appearance -- a case of “heritage tokenism”!\r\n\r\nTo everyone -- especially tourists -- the charms of Penang lie in its rich historic and cultural heritage. If the old buildings that witnessed these historic events are not valued and kept, there will not be anything left as physical evidence to relate to our past.\r\n\r\nBy Clement Liang  \r\n\r\nkelawai6', 'Bungalows at Kelawai Road', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'bungalows-at-kelawai-road', '', '', '2013-02-23 17:05:56', '2013-02-23 09:05:56', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?page_id=218', 0, 'page', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (219, 1, '2013-02-17 18:04:07', '2013-02-17 10:04:07', '', 'kelawai1', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'kelawai1', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:04:07', '2013-02-17 10:04:07', '', 218, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kelawai1.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (220, 1, '2013-02-17 18:04:36', '2013-02-17 10:04:36', '', 'kelawai2', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'kelawai2', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:04:36', '2013-02-17 10:04:36', '', 218, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kelawai2.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (221, 1, '2013-02-17 18:04:57', '2013-02-17 10:04:57', '', 'kelawai3', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'kelawai3', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:04:57', '2013-02-17 10:04:57', '', 218, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kelawai3.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (222, 1, '2013-02-17 18:05:20', '2013-02-17 10:05:20', '', 'kelawai4', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'kelawai4', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:05:20', '2013-02-17 10:05:20', '', 218, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kelawai4.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (223, 1, '2013-02-17 18:05:42', '2013-02-17 10:05:42', '', 'kelawai5', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'kelawai5', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:05:42', '2013-02-17 10:05:42', '', 218, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kelawai5.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (224, 1, '2013-02-17 18:06:17', '2013-02-17 10:06:17', '', 'kelawai6', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'kelawai6', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:06:17', '2013-02-17 10:06:17', '', 218, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kelawai6.jpg', 0, 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (225, 1, '2013-02-17 18:06:21', '2013-02-17 10:06:21', 'Bungalows at Kelawai Roadkelawai1\n

Church of the Immaculate Conception, September 2010

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\nconceptionThe September site visit, delayed on account of Ramadan and the Malaysia Day holidays, took place on Sunday, 19th September at the Church of Immaculate Conception on Burmah Road in Pulau Tikus. 45 PHT members and friends took part. The church was founded by Portuguese Eurasians who settled in Penang to escape persecution in Phuket. They were latecomers -- an earlier wave of Catholic immigrants arrived in Penang from Kedah in 1786 with Captain Francis Light and founded the Church of the Assumption on Farquhar Street. The Eurasian Catholic community in Phuket, although dwindling in numbers, remained in Phuket until the Phya Tak Massacre of 1810, which forced them to leave.\r\n\r\nThe Eurasians, or Serani (a Malay-language corruption of Nazarene, a reference to Jesus of Nazareth) as they were locally called, adopted local customs such as speaking Malay, and lived in kampong houses, similar to those in the Portuguese settlement in Malacca. There was a sizable Eurasian community in the Pulau Tikus area of Kelawai Road until after Independence, so much so that the area was called Kampong Serani, and local road names such as Leandro’s Lane still bear their imprint.\r\n\r\nThe present building of the Church of Immaculate Conception was erected in 1899, and was last renovated in the 1970s. With the moving away of the Eurasian community in recent years the congregation of the church has become predominantly Chinese.\r\n\r\nPHT members were briefed on the history of the church and the Eurasian community by Dr. Anthony Sibert, an authority on the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Penang. Dr. Sibert is author of Pulo Ticus 1810-1994: Mission Accomplished, a book soon to be published. He showed us the small museum housed in the northeast corner of the church and explained the many artifacts, documents and memorabilia displayed there. Members of the Immaculate Conception congregation are very proud of the fact that one of their priests was the only parish priest in Malaysia to be canonized (not counting St Francis Xavier). Jacques Honoré Chastan was a Roman Catholic missionary born in France. He taught at the College General in Penang 1828-1830 and served as the fourth parish priest of the Church of the Immaculate Conception 1830-1833. From Penang Father Chastan went on to carry out missionary work in China and Korea.  The Korean authorities became alarmed at the rate at which Koreans were converting to Catholicism and Father Chastan and his colleagues were arrested and martyred in 1839. Father Chastan was beatified by Pope Pius XI in 1925 and canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1984. A monument to St. Chastan was recently erected in the southwest corner of the church grounds facing Burma Road.\r\n\r\nBy Leslie A.K. James\r\n\r\n

\nAs one of the heritage NGOs in Penang, we welcome, encourage and appreciate private restorations effort at the World Heritage Site. There had been many wonderful efforts from private sectors to restore the heritage buildings over the years. After the listing, we believed that there are more and more applications on restoration/ renovation.  However, the Penang Heritage Trust is very concerned about the lack of management and monitoring of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.\n\nWe were informed that the following project has obtained permission from MPPP for its restoration project, but we are also worrying about the lack of monitoring of the project. Please refer to the images that showed the its condition in 1998 and current situation.\n\nThe fear is that in not following our own guidelines, we are not managing the site well, and in not managing the site well we are endangering the WH listing.\n\nAccording to the conservation principle which has been made as a practice of many conservation architects in George Town, if the building needs to be altered too much for the sake of the new use - the new use is wrong. And whatever we do if it is different from the original - it must be reversible.\n\nIt is utterly heart breaking to witness the gradual destruction of our heritage.', 'George Town World Heritage Site Management', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '235-revision', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:18:28', '2013-02-17 10:18:28', '', 235, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=238', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (551, 1, '2013-02-18 18:43:39', '2013-02-18 10:43:39', 'Heritage Legislation\r\n\r\nYou may download the following documents from this website:\r\n\r\n\r\n1.

For example, one of the reasons why early mariners stopped at Penang was to replenish their supplies of fresh water. Batu Ferringhi (Foreigners’ Rock) with its waterfall once visible from the sea was one such source for sailing ships to obtain water before and after crossing the Indian Ocean. Near the current E&O Hotel on the north shore was a later site -- known as Sweet Water Bay and depicted in early paintings -- the terminus of an aqueduct from the Waterfall behind the present Botanic Gardens. That waterfall and the reservoir at its base are the site of the oldest water works in Malaysia and should be regarded as a heritage site.\r\nwater1\r\nOther early reservoirs and aqueducts also deserve designation as heritage sites. In particular, the picturesque Guillemard Reservoir at Mount Erskine built in 1929 under the supervision of Penang’s first municipal water engineer J.D. Fettes is not only a functioning example of early 20th century engineering but a site of outstanding beauty that was a popular venue for pre-war picnics before it was closed to the public. The Guillemard Reservoir is part of a public water supply system designed by Fettes that includes a four-mile-long aqueduct built in 1926-1929 winding through the hills above Batu Ferringhi. Fed by three intakes from hillside jungle streams, this historic aqueduct leads to a mile-long tunnel and a 24-inch cast-iron pipeline ending at the Guillemard Reservoir.\r\n\r\nThe Guillemard Reservoir and Batu Ferringhi aqueduct were opened on 16th July 1929 by Sir Hugh Clifford, Governor of the Straits Settlements, who named the reservoir after his predecessor Sir Lawrence Guillemard and Lady Guillemard. In commending Fettes for his design and work on the reservoir and aqueduct Governor Clifford noted he had worked for six years without taking leave.* Construction of the new water scheme had been approved during Guillemard’s term in office. Details of the reservoir and aqueduct were described in full in The Straits Times of 17th July 1929. Built at a cost of $3,700,000 with a capacity of  7 million gallons the reservoir was constructed in two halves so that one half may be in use when the other half is being cleaned. Following the contours of the hills the smallest section of the Batu Ferringhi aqueduct has a gradient of 1 in 500 at the intake end. The largest section beyond the intakes has a gradient of 1 in 1,800. From the reservoir a 27-inch cast-iron pipeline was laid to Pangkor Road and from there a 24-inch pipeline to Pitt Street.\r\n\r\nOther examples of impressive public water works are the Ayer Itam Reservoir with its prominent art deco clock tower as well as the separate Ayer Itam Dam.\r\nwater2\r\n*Note: James Dollery Fettes died on home leave in England in 1931 after delaying his leave for several years. His widow was awarded a gratuity of $15,000 by the Penang Municipal Commissioners in recognition of his “highly meritorious services”.

Ipoh and The Kinta Valley, June 2011

ipoh1\r\n\r\nAfter a postponement in March, a site visit five years in the making finally saw the light of day when on Saturday morning 18th June 20 PHT members including our guide Tim and Sheau Fung, our manager, assisted by Pei Ling, assembled at the Caring Society Complex. The bus left at 8.20 a.m. and reached the Regal Lodge hotel in Ipoh at 11.30a.m. En route, Tim gave a brief introduction to the history of Ipoh and the Kinta Valley. Villages sprouted up along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaya because of the proximity to the sea but it was because of tin discovered and mined in these areas that we have the inland towns that developed into cities such as Taiping, Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur. The earlier wave of Chinese migrants who migrated to Penang and the northern region came from Fujian province where the Hokkien dialect is spoken. It was these Chinese who mined the tin in Taiping. When new tin mines were started in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur, a new wave of immigrants arrived from Canton, the reason why the main dialect in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur is Cantonese.\r\n\r\nipoh2\r\nAfter leaving our luggage at the hotel, we set out for the most important stop for most Malaysians, a food stop! The bus dropped us off at what was considered the food capital in Ipoh. With several coffee shops to select from, most of the group ended up having bean sprouts chicken before stocking up on biscuits and other dry food products from nearby shops.\r\n\r\nPAPAN AND SYBIL KATHIGASU\r\n\r\nOur first stop after lunch was Papan where we visited Sybil Kathigasu’s house and makeshift clinic.\r\n\r\nOur host and guide for the day was Law Saik Hong of the Perak Heritage Society. The humble house where Sybil performed her heroic deeds stands alone in what was once a row of shophouses. Papan today is a sleepy town where the population is on the decline as most young people have moved to bigger towns in search of greener pastures. Saik Hong showed us various artefacts and shared stories of Sybil’s bravery during the Japanese occupation. She secretly kept a shortwave radio and listened to BBC broadcasts. One can still see today the hole in the floor underneath the staircase where she hid the radio. She also secretly provided medical supplies and services and information to the resistance forces until she and her family were arrested in 1943. Despite being interrogated and tortured by the Japanese military police, Sybil refused to cooperate and was detained in the Batu Gajah jail. After Malaya was liberated in August 1945, she was flown to Britain for medical treatment. At a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in October 1947 she was awarded the George Medal, the only woman in Malaya to receive this award for bravery.*\r\nipoh3\r\nOur next stop was the house of Raja Bilah, the headman of Papan, just a short walk from Sybil’s shophouse. The Sumatran nobleman’s home was restored by the National Museum several years ago and has since been used as a location in several films, most notably Anna and the King.\r\n\r\nBATU GAJAH\r\n\r\nFrom Papan, we made our way by coach to Batu Gajah Jail and the cemetery known as “God’s Little Acre.” Here, we visited the graves of the three English planters whose deaths at Sungei Siput on 16th June 1948 resulted in the declaration of the Malayan Emergency (1948 -1960).** Before leaving Batu Gajah we had a final stop at the lovely hospital which also enabled us to view the church and the surrounding administrative buildings.\r\n\r\nTIN DREDGE\r\n\r\nOur next stop was to the last remaining tin dredge in Malaysia. It is a remarkable example of engineering. Opened to the public in 2008, it is badly in need of repair (tilting to one side with water seeping in) but it is a great place to explore and marvel at for its sheer size. Walking onto the tin dredge was like stepping back in time. The cavernous interior was silent, but when the dredger was in full operation, the noise would have been unbearable. One can imagine when it was fully operational; its huge buckets scooping and transporting alluvial to its body. The excavated material was then broken up by jets of water as it fell onto revolving screens. The tin-bearing alluvial then passed to a primary separating plant. Large stones and rubble were retained by the screens. The largest dredge could dig continuously to depths of up to 200 metres below water. It could handle over three-quarters of a million cubic metres of material per month. The first tin dredge was introduced by Malayan Tin Dredging Ltd. in the Kinta Valley tin fields in 1913.  During the heyday of the tin mining industry in 1940, there were 123 dredges in operation. This number began to diminish after 1981. By the end of 1983 there were only 38 dredges left. Although it looks too big to move, these massive dredges once devoured swamps and jungles as they searched hungrily for tin deposits, reshaping the local topography at the same time. Kinta Valley is now full of ponds due to the mining process. Members who went to the top of the dredger had a bird’s eye view over the surrounding ponds. At the entrance to the dredge there is a small museum displaying a selection of tools. It was here that some members bought custard apples from the museum’s fruit orchard. After a refreshing jelly dessert drink in Tanjung Tualang, we visited a nearby seafood restaurant for dinner before returning to Ipoh. One member remarked that tualang in Hokkien refers to grown-ups, so we really felt still like kids (gheena in Hokkien) amongst the tualang there!\r\nipoh4\r\nIPOH HERITAGE WALK\r\n\r\nNext morning after a sumptuous breakfast of dim sum and other local hawker favourites, we were met by Mark Lay and several key members of the Kinta Heritage Society. The head of the State Legislative Council for Tourism also made a brief appearance.\r\n\r\nFollowing the Ipoh Heritage Walk maps produced by the State with the help of Kinta Heritage Society, we set out on foot, led by Mark. Mark was one of the key people involved in producing these self-guided walks. He shared many interesting anecdotes as we made our way to the major sites. It was a balmy morning and the overcast sky without the direct sunlight made it easier to walk. Sites that the group managed to cover included the Ipoh Railway Station (also known as the “Taj Mahal of Ipoh”), the Cenotaph in front of the railway station, the Court House, Church of St John the Divine, Ipoh ‘Padang’ (field), the Indian Muslim Mosque and St Michael’s Institution. The group then proceeded to the Birch Memorial Clock Tower passing a few heritage buildings in the Old Town ‘high street’ such as the Mercantile Bank Building and HSBC Building. The tour ended with a walk through Concubine Lane, a narrow lane flanked by quaint pre-war shophouses believed to have been inhabited by concubines belonging to rich mining merchants. Ipoh does have a reputation of having fair maidens!\r\nipoh5\r\nBefore leaving Ipoh, we had lunch at one of Ipoh’s most famous coffee shops, located at the end of Concubine Lane.  Considered as a food institution by some where Ipoh’s heritage food can be savoured, members enjoyed the wide hawker selection. Some members even ta pao (takeaway) food back home! It was indeed a weekend to remember, equal parts of interesting sites, stories, people, and of course food! The best part is that Kinta Valley is just a stone’s throw away from Penang, so one can always go back for more!\r\n\r\nBy Eric Yeoh\r\n\r\nEditor’s Notes:\r\n*Sybil Kathigasu’s own remarkable story is related in her autobiography No Dram of Mercy (Kuala Lumpur, Prometheus Enterprise, 2006). Sadly, after several operations Sybil Kathigasu died in England from complications due to the injuries she suffered at the hands of the Kempetei.\r\n\r\n**The three planters murdered by communist terrorists at Sungei Siput were A.E Walker, J.A. Allison and J.D. Christian. “God’s Little Acre” contains the graves of many planters, tin miners, policemen and servicemen killed during the Emergency and is the site of an annual ceremony of remembrance on the closest Saturday to the anniversary date of 16th June.

Land costs is rising to a level of 400 per sq foot in town, this is making it more and more lucrative for developers to knock down buildings to develop new mega structures. [no difference if Heritage buildings or not]\r\n\r\nNow another bungalow on Burmah Road, opposite Convent Pulau Tikus is under threat. a small difference being that this developer  is a responsible developer, they have applied for planning permission to demolish the bungalow, waiting for approval from MPPP.\r\n\r\nWhat is to stop them from taking it down tomorrow ?? Knock it down and pay a RM6000,00 fine. Precedent has been set by the courts. All the lawyers in town know of this case, they shall advice their clients accordingly. Fair enough, 20 Pykett was not listed as heritage since the ORANGE bungalow is double the fine. Still cheap for a 500million GDV project.\r\n\r\nMPPP is also making excuses that they cannot find detail drawings, we have consulted our consultants from Penang and Australia and have been advice that there are other methods available to perform reconstruction on site. MPPP having ordered the owners to unconditionally reconstruct the building, should push for this.\r\n\r\nCM it is imperative that action is taken to prevent errant developers from demolishing buildings without planning permission, we note inadequacy in our system, that is why we need to address them.\r\n\r\nOur Heritage buildings are not safe !! pay a small fine is not a deterrent.\r\n\r\nThe oppurtiunity is before the Penang Government and MPPP to stop future illegal demolitions happening, new common law has to be made in courts to protect our heritage buildings. Penang is a UNESCO listed living Heritage city today. This listing has done wonders for Penang.\r\n\r\nThank you for a new Malaysia.\r\n\r\nYours sincerely\r\nDr. B Nawawi.\r\n\r\nFor more information, please log on to the blog www.20pykett.blogspot.com.\r\n\r\n

\n\nPreservation and Destruction in Penang’s Development\n\nSpeech by Dr. Lim Mah Hui\n\nAt the Full Council Meeting of MPPP, 24th February 2012\n\nIn the past 12 months, we have painfully witnessed the demolition of several historic buildings, some illegally. The latest victim is a mansion at 177 Jalan Macalister, opposite Loh Guan Lye Specialist Centre.\n\nFirst, I would like to request the Council to provide data on all the historically, architecturally and/or culturally significant buildings that have been demolished last year and this year, or for which demolition was approved since 2008.\n\nLet me mention a few of these buildings that were torn down. The beautiful mansion of Khaw Bian Cheng (son of Khaw Sim Bee) at Pykett Avenue, two historic bungalows on Burma Lane, one of them once occupied by a former prime minister of Thailand, Phraya Manopakorn Nititada (1884-1948) and two bungalows along Brooks Road. Khaw Bian Cheng’s mansion was torn down without permit.  In the case of the Burma Lane and Brooks Road residences, two of three buildings in each location were torn down and only one building in each location was left standing. This is not preservation. This is architectural and historical mutilation. It is like cutting off one limb and preserving the other limb.\n\nPrime Minister Phraya Mano sought refuge in Penang island when the military launched a coup in Thailand in 1932.  He lived in Penang for several years and passed away here 1948. Mano Road in Pulau Tikus is named after him. In many ways, his history is similar to that of Dr. Sun Yet Sun, who also took refuge in Penang during his struggle for Chinese independence. We are fortunate to maintain the heritage and history of Dr Sun in terms of a museum and the house where he spoke and launched his fund raising campaign. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for celebrating the history of Prime Minister Phraya Mano in Penang. The houses in which he once stayed have been demolished and an important part of the history of the Thai Malaysians in Penang has been destroyed in the pursuit of profit but under the rationale of “development”.\n\nThe present attitude is that only houses in the heritage zone, or those that are designated heritage, are protected. We need to take a more holistic view of heritage. One reason Penang was awarded the world heritage status is because of the large stock of pre-war houses in the island. It is myopic to only preserve the buildings in the core heritage zone and wantonly destroy important buildings in the buffer zones and other parts of the city. Tourists come to Penang to experience the whole city, not just the heritage zone.\n\nMany Japanese and European visitors have commented to me their disappointment at the demolition of beautiful buildings. The building of 30 stories apartments surrounding a heritage building is not preservation; it is suffocation of heritage sites.\n\nShow Slides of these houses.\n\nIt is convenient to justify what is happening in the name of development. As I said last year, we must be more thoughtful. We must ask the following questions:\n
    \n
  • What kind of development do we want?
    • \n
  • Is it development that destroys our heritage and culture?
    • \n
  • Is it sustainable development?
    • \n
  • Is it green development or development that aggravates climate change?
    • \n
  • Who benefits most from this development?
    • \n
  • Who loses out in this process?
    • \n
  • Is it development for the top 1% or development for the 99%?
    • \n
\nDevelopment must be located within a vision. What is the vision for Penang’s development?  Perhaps the best way to concretize this vision is to ask ourselves what is the “model” city that best approximates our vision?  I am not suggesting we copy blindly another city. But what I am suggesting is we learn from and choose what are the best characteristics to suit our own situation.\n\nI have heard from some people and policy makers they would like Penang to model itself after Singapore and Hong Kong, both are densely populated international financial centers in the world. Are they appropriate for Penang? Might it not be more appropriate to look at a combination of Kyoto, a heritage city, and Xiamen, a city with similar characteristics in size, geography (hills and sea), and services (education, high tech and former trading ports) as models.\n\nLet me say something about Singapore. There is much that can be said for Singapore – it is a clean, safe and a well-planned city with good public transportation system. These are some of the positive lessons we can draw from it. But we can also learn some negative lessons from it, of which I mention two. First, is Singapore in the early days of development, demolished many of its traditional houses and buildings (not necessarily heritage). They have since learned it was a mistake and are now taking pains to preserve them.  We should not repeat the same mistake. Second, in their quest to make Singapore an international city, the government has swung to the extreme so that many of its local citizens are left behind in this “development” process. Despite Singapore having the best public housing schemes in the world, many of its young population feel they cannot afford housing or find good jobs. The dissatisfaction is so great that it cost the PAP government many seats in the Parliament. This could also happen to Penang if more and more middle and lower class citizens feel they are left behind in this frenzy of property development.\n\nFinally, allow me to suggest that for the moment, we should impose a moratorium on granting approval for demolition of all buildings in the island that were built before 1962 (more than 50 years old) and have architectural value. The present list of protected buildings should be immediately made available, and a technical committee made up of qualified professionals, civil society and input from other relevant bodies be established to study this matter immediately.\n\nThank you for your attention.\n\n

The Urban Conservation Network in Asia and Its Future

PHT-PAPA - An Overview

\r\nThe Penang Heritage Trust is launching a programme that actively promotes intangible cultural heritage. This involves assisting artisans and performers whose skills are considered traditional and core to our Penang cultural heritage. In today\'s world, these skills are few and far in between, apprentices need to be sourced and skills need to be transmitted, in order that we may not loose these precious assets. The individuals themselves who are usually old, may be experiencing difficulties with evictions, high rentals, lack of help, difficulties of transportation, cost of materials, vulnerability and a loss of significance. This proposal assumes that the time is right for rendering assistance and building capacity by promoting apprenticeship.Project PAPA 1 (2)\r\n\r\nThis project also views promotion, product development and assistance with marketing as integral in achieving sustainability of the skills.\r\n\r\nThe goal is to perpetuate & develop traditional skills & techniques, transmit these through a prescribed training system, aid in marketing and strive to generate income so that the skills becomes attractive as a viable life choice career for young people.\r\n\r\nIt is planned that as far as possible, these artisans be sited in individual shop-houses within a common area, in the heart of George Town. This would make promotion and marketing in terms of a value added site for visitors, much easier to manage.

The forums and workshop were organized by the World Heritage Incorporated and Penang Heritage Trust, in cooperation with the Penang State Government, Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang, Penang Global Tourism (PGT) and Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM).\r\n\r\nPublic Forums & Workshops\r\n\r\nThe public forums were a 1-day affair (on Saturdays). They consisted of public lectures on a specific topic in the morning, presenting international and Australian heritage practices and issues. Complementing the morning lecture, a lively forum was held in the afternoon, with panel representatives from different sectors who identified current practice and challenges in  George Town related to the forum topic.\r\n\r\nFollowing the forum were 2 days of closed-door focus group workshops (on Sunday and Monday) open  to stakeholders and experts closed-door  who wished to discuss case studies and challenges  and develop realistic frameworks and ways forward  for the George Town Heritage Site.\r\n\r\nWhile the public forums aimed to raise the general level of interest and awareness in conservation issues, the follow-up workshops were designed as a platform for brainstorming and sharing between stakeholders and specialists.

Although much work has focused on Penang’s position within a Chinese maritime world of commerce and migration, less attention has been paid to Penang’s equally significant connections with South Asia. This workshop—which forms part of the broader Penang Story 2 project—aimed to bring together scholars with interests in Penang’s role as a gateway to the Indian Ocean over the past two centuries.\r\n\r\nThe workshop examined the multiple networks, imperial, commercial, cultural, and biographical, that linked Penang with the littorals of the eastern Indian Ocean, stretching from Burma and Sri Lanka to the “Coromandel Coast” of India. How might Penang be treated as a site through which to examine the density of cultural and economic interactions in the Indian Ocean world, and between the regions conventionally divided into South and Southeast Asia? How have Penang’s urban landscape, its population, and the development of its civic culture borne the imprint of its Indian Ocean connections? How does Penang’s Indian Ocean history feature in popular and official memory in the present day, and with what implications for the future?\r\n\r\nThe conference was held on 17 and 18 September 2011 in Penang.

Living Heritage Treasures Awards

award\r\n\r\nWe are all familiar with the tangible cultural heritage around us – the historical buildings, enclaves, monuments– and the need for their protection for future generations. However, the Penang Heritage Trust regards Intangible Cultural Assets encompassing skills, knowledge and techniques are equally essential and critical for the continuation of our Intangible Cultural Heritage.\r\n\r\nThe Living Heritage Treasures Awards of the Penang Heritage Trust was put in place in 2005, in a move to protect skills and techniques and the people possessing them. The skills these ‘masters’ carry with them need to be acknowledged, documented, preserved, promoted and transmitted. And because these individuals are often old and often lost somewhere in the contemporary technology rush, they are usually experiencing scarcity, vulnerability and loss of significance.  Promotion and dissemination will create greater public awareness and greater appreciation of tradition & skills, of crafts & of the individuals who have persisted, maintained, promoted & developed the cultural heritage of Penang.\r\n\r\nThe award will also ensure that recording and documentation take place. Techniques, practices and skills will be archived and hopefully transmitted. Locating the Intangible Heritage within the Tourism agenda would ensure an added-value experience for the visitor, while achieving sustainability of the skill. Sustainability of our cultural heritage will be the end product.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nCURRENT LIVING HERITAGE TREASURES OF PENANG AWARD WINNERS\r\n\r\n1.       Dato Chuah Thean Teng(2005)  - Master of Batik Art /Innovator (94 years)\r\n\r\n(passed away Nov 2008)\r\n\r\n2.       Dato’ Lim Bian Yam(2005)- Chef extraordinaire/Floral Designer & Instructor (76 years)\r\n\r\n3.       Mohd Bahroodin Ahmad(2005)– Performing arts/cultural expert, educator &\r\n\r\npromoter (passed away  June 2008)\r\n\r\n4.       Kok Ah Wah (2006) – Last Handmade Signboard Carver (69 years)\r\n\r\n5.       Yeap Seong Kee (2006) – Kebaya Designer (82 years)\r\n\r\n(passed away Feb 2008)\r\n\r\n6.       Ooi Sew Kim (2006) – Hokkien Puppet Troupe Owner (69 years)\r\n\r\n7.       Noo Wan@Wan Dee Aroonratana(2007) - Thai Menora Performer / Cultural\r\n\r\nExpert / Shaman (84 years)\r\n\r\n8.       Lee Khek Hock (2007) – Last Traditional Lantern Maker (70 years)\r\n\r\n9.       Toh Ai Hwa (2008) – Last Teochew Puppet Troupe Owner (58 years)\r\n\r\n10.     Mr. N.B.

In a letter to the Government of India in Bengal in 1793 (seven years after the establishment of Penang as an East India Company settlement), Captain Francis Light described the main communities in Penang and noted the presence of 100 Burmese and Thais. The 1828 census of Penang reported a total population of 22,503, out of which 1,117 were Thais and Burmese, mostly living in Teluk Ayer Raja, now Pulau Tikus, (665 people) and  Kuala Muda (256 people).\r\n\r\nBesides the mass migration of the Eurasian community from southern Siam to Penang during Light’s time, the Thai community in Penang was   attracted by the abundant opportunities and grew constantly over the years under the auspices of the British.  In 1845, the community sought a piece of land and Queen Victoria granted them a five-acre site in Pulau Tikus as a gesture to promote trade with Siam. The land grant was presented by W.L. Butterworth, Governor of the Straits Settlements (1843–1855). It is interesting to note that a British-Siam boundary stone was erected at Pinang Tunggal, north of Province Wellesley, in the 1800s to mark the official border between Siam and Penang. The stone still stands in the same spot today.\r\n\r\nIn the eyes of the Thais, Penang by the turn of the 20th century was an advanced state and well managed by the British authorities. Penang was and still is a favourite place for Thais to seek an English education and hence was nicknamed “the other London”.  King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V), taught by the British governess Anna Leonowens (whose husband is buried in Penang) was the first Western-educated Siamese king. He paid an official visit to Penang in 1890 to study the government administration. In 1897, when he visited Europe, he stopped over at Chakrabongse House where he was received by the household of the Sultan of Kedah, at that time still a vassal state of Siam. When King Prajadhipok (King Rama VI) visited Penang in 1929, he stayed at Asdang House on Northam Road. Asdang House and Chakrabongse House were built by Phya Rasada Nupradit of Ranong, better known as Khaw Sim Bee, of the legendary Sino-Thai family whose illustrious members were appointed by King Chulalongkorn as governors of the southern west-coast provinces of Siam, stretching from Ranong, Phuket to Trang.  To enhance the prestige of Siam, Khaw donated a piece of prime real estate at the Esplanade to the public. Called Ranong Ground, the football-size field was meant for public recreation. It has completely disappeared and today is the site of Dewan Sri Pinang.\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House and Asdang House were the venue of numerous parties and receptions especially for visiting dignitaries from Bangkok. Named after the sons of King Chulalongkorn, the two houses were built back to back, with Chakrabongse facing the sea and Asdang House facing the road. Asdang House was sold and later became the Metropole Hotel. Unfortunately, it was illegally demolished on Christmas Day in 1993 and the Mayfair condominium was built on the site. After being fined RM50,000 and instructed by the MPPP to reconstruct the entrance hall, the developer erected a mock-up façade of the original Asdang House. Chakrabongse met a similar fate in the 1970s when it was demolished to build a multi-storey family apartment.\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House was described in glowing terms by the Penang Gazette at its house warming by Prince Chakrabongse in 1904:\r\n\r\n“Mr Khaw Sim Bee has taste and very thorough notions of comfort. Standing on the brink of the sea, with its verandahs opening on lovely view of the harbour and purple heights of Kedah beyond, the position of the new house could scarcely be surpassed in Penang.\r\n\r\n“Its snowy whiteness backed by the dark green of palms and flanked with tennis courts will render it the home beautiful indeed. The floors have marble in the halls and on the verandahs. The dinning and drawing rooms are large enough for huge gatherings, and the latter might easily accommodate four or five sets of Lancers.”\r\n\r\nDuring the Japanese occupation, the houses were appropriated by the Japanese military forces. After the war they were returned to Khaw Sim Bee’s only son in Penang, Khaw Joo Chye, who inherited Chakrabongse House and had other properties including 20 Pykett Avenue. Sadly, the Pykett Avenue property met the same fate as Asdang House. It was illegally demolished on 26th July 2010, a few days ahead of a heritage building assessment to be conducted by MPPP.\r\n\r\nIn the 1930s, a new group of Thai royal dignitaries and politicians resided in Penang. Political turmoil in Bangkok caused by the failure of democratic reform and a coup d’état in 1932 forced the first elected Thai Prime Minister Phaya Manopakorn Nititada and Prince Damrong Rajanubhab and Prince Svasti Sophon, both sons of King Rama V, to flee to Penang and seek refuge. They took up residence at Burmah Lane, Kelawai Road and Burmah Road and lived a conspicuous lifestyle. Their exchange of letters with their Bangkok counterparts and family members as well as the documented visits from their friends vividly describe their life in Penang during those years. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab’s memoirs of his residence at “Cinnamon Hall”, 15 Kelawai Road , became a famous classic reading book for all Thais. Cinnamon Hall was demolished long ago but many Thais who visit Penang are curious about this building and try to locate its whereabouts.\r\n\r\nPraya Manopakorn never returned to Thailand and died in Penang in 1947. Two streets off Jalan Bagan Jermal were named after him, Jalan Mano and Solok Mano. Prince Svasti Sophon died in Penang in 1935 and his funeral at Wat Pinbang Onn on Green Lane witnessed a gathering of VIPs from Thailand and local officials. He was formerly the Minister of Defence and his daughter was married to King Rama VII. In 1942 Prince Damrong Rajanubuab was allowed to return to Bangkok where he died the following year. Prince Damrong was credited with founding the modern Thai education system and the modern provincial administration. From his books on Thai literature, culture and art works grew the National Library, as well as the National Museum. On the centenary of his birth in 1962, he became the first Thai included in the UNESCO list of the world’s most distinguished persons.  In April 2011, a group of historians from Bangkok interviewed the 92-year-old sister-in-law of Praya Mano, Prabandh Sanasen, who has lived in Penang for 80 years following her brother-in-law’s exile to Penang. Her recorded memories fill a gap in the history of Thailand and Penang.\r\n\r\nOn the evening of 20th October, 2011, one of the bungalows at Burmah Lane where the Thai royal dignitaries used to live was demolished and reduced to a heap of rubble to make way for a yet-to-be approved high-rise development. It is understood that MPPP gave a conservation order only for the second bungalow on the spurious grounds that there was no need to conserve all bungalows of similar appearance -- a case of “heritage tokenism”!\r\n\r\nTo everyone -- especially tourists -- the charms of Penang lie in its rich historic and cultural heritage. If the old buildings that witnessed these historic events are not valued and kept, there will not be anything left as physical evidence to relate to our past.\r\n\r\nBy Clement Liang  ', 'Penang’s Disappearing Thai Heritage ', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '350-revision-2', '', '', '2013-02-18 09:57:26', '2013-02-18 01:57:26', '', 350, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=576', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (329, 1, '2013-02-18 09:40:31', '2013-02-18 01:40:31', ' ', '', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '329', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:37', '2013-02-28 04:38:37', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=329', 66, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (331, 1, '2013-02-18 09:42:13', '2013-02-18 01:42:13', 'Penang & the Indian Ocean Conference\n\nPenang & the Indian Ocean: An International conference (16-18 September 2011) \n\nAn institutional initiative to provide an integrated framework to harness the development potential of three core areas: academic, heritage and culture, and business towards transforming Penang into THE secondary city in the region - the choice for the location of a variety of enterprises, attractive to a wide range of groups.\n\nProgramme:\nAcademic: The creation of a research cluster dedicated to mapping the historical and contemporary linkages of Penang in its Indian Ocean context.\n\nPhase 1: Convening a workshop in Cambridge University with academics from Cambridge and London Universities in July 2010 [completed]\nPhase 2: Convening an international conference, “Penang and the Indian Ocean”, 17 to 18 September 2011, in Penang\n\nPenang has long been at the centre of inter-regional networks of exchange.

Restoration of Carpenter\'s Guild, 1999

guild\r\n\r\nConsidered the mother temple of all Chinese building guilds in the country, the Loo Pun Hong has been the recipient of fund-raising drives by the PHT over the last 2 years. During the 19th Century, every Chinese craftsman who came to Malaya, would first call at the Loo Pun temple in Penang before setting out to other states to seek work.\r\n\r\nLoo Pun was a historical figure, a contemporary of Confucius and Mencius and China\'s equivalent of Leonardo da Vinci.

Heritage Water Works

\r\n\r\nRESERVOIRS, AQUEDUCTS AND DAMS\r\n\r\nAn appreciation of Penang’s history is integral to understanding the importance of heritage. For example, one of the reasons why early mariners stopped at Penang was to replenish their supplies of fresh water. Batu Ferringhi (Foreigners’ Rock) with its waterfall once visible from the sea was one such source for sailing ships to obtain water before and after crossing the Indian Ocean. Near the current E&O Hotel on the north shore was a later site -- known as Sweet Water Bay and depicted in early paintings -- the terminus of an aqueduct from the Waterfall behind the present Botanic Gardens. That waterfall and the reservoir at its base are the site of the oldest water works in Malaysia and should be regarded as a heritage site.\r\nwater1\r\nOther early reservoirs and aqueducts also deserve designation as heritage sites. In particular, the picturesque Guillemard Reservoir at Mount Erskine built in 1929 under the supervision of Penang’s first municipal water engineer J.D. Fettes is not only a functioning example of early 20th century engineering but a site of outstanding beauty that was a popular venue for pre-war picnics before it was closed to the public. The Guillemard Reservoir is part of a public water supply system designed by Fettes that includes a four-mile-long aqueduct built in 1926-1929 winding through the hills above Batu Ferringhi. Fed by three intakes from hillside jungle streams, this historic aqueduct leads to a mile-long tunnel and a 24-inch cast-iron pipeline ending at the Guillemard Reservoir.\r\n\r\nThe Guillemard Reservoir and Batu Ferringhi aqueduct were opened on 16th July 1929 by Sir Hugh Clifford, Governor of the Straits Settlements, who named the reservoir after his predecessor Sir Lawrence Guillemard and Lady Guillemard. In commending Fettes for his design and work on the reservoir and aqueduct Governor Clifford noted he had worked for six years without taking leave.* Construction of the new water scheme had been approved during Guillemard’s term in office. Details of the reservoir and aqueduct were described in full in The Straits Times of 17th July 1929. Built at a cost of $3,700,000 with a capacity of  7 million gallons the reservoir was constructed in two halves so that one half may be in use when the other half is being cleaned. Following the contours of the hills the smallest section of the Batu Ferringhi aqueduct has a gradient of 1 in 500 at the intake end. The largest section beyond the intakes has a gradient of 1 in 1,800. From the reservoir a 27-inch cast-iron pipeline was laid to Pangkor Road and from there a 24-inch pipeline to Pitt Street.\r\n\r\nOther examples of impressive public water works are the Ayer Itam Reservoir with its prominent art deco clock tower as well as the separate Ayer Itam Dam.\r\nwater2\r\n*Note: James Dollery Fettes died on home leave in England in 1931 after delaying his leave for several years. His widow was awarded a gratuity of $15,000 by the Penang Municipal Commissioners in recognition of his “highly meritorious services”.

\r\nIt comes to our attention that there is proposal to demolish a few bungalows at Kelawai Road.\r\n\r\nWe welcome your feedback and input if you have information about the buildings or the development plan.\r\n\r\nThank you very much.\r\n\r\nPenang’s Disappearing Thai Heritage \r\n\r\nPenang Island has traditionally been called Koh Maak (or “Number One Island”) by the Thais, not surprising given that Penang was at one time part of a Siamese vassal state together with Kedah which was also known as Saiburi. In a letter to the Government of India in Bengal in 1793 (seven years after the establishment of Penang as an East India Company settlement), Captain Francis Light described the main communities in Penang and noted the presence of 100 Burmese and Thais. The 1828 census of Penang reported a total population of 22,503, out of which 1,117 were Thais and Burmese, mostly living in Teluk Ayer Raja, now Pulau Tikus, (665 people) and  Kuala Muda (256 people).\r\n\r\nBesides the mass migration of the Eurasian community from southern Siam to Penang during Light’s time, the Thai community in Penang was   attracted by the abundant opportunities and grew constantly over the years under the auspices of the British.  In 1845, the community sought a piece of land and Queen Victoria granted them a five-acre site in Pulau Tikus as a gesture to promote trade with Siam. The land grant was presented by W.L. Butterworth, Governor of the Straits Settlements (1843–1855). It is interesting to note that a British-Siam boundary stone was erected at Pinang Tunggal, north of Province Wellesley, in the 1800s to mark the official border between Siam and Penang. The stone still stands in the same spot today.\r\nkelawai2\r\nIn the eyes of the Thais, Penang by the turn of the 20th century was an advanced state and well managed by the British authorities. Penang was and still is a favourite place for Thais to seek an English education and hence was nicknamed “the other London”.  King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V), taught by the British governess Anna Leonowens (whose husband is buried in Penang) was the first Western-educated Siamese king. He paid an official visit to Penang in 1890 to study the government administration. In 1897, when he visited Europe, he stopped over at Chakrabongse House where he was received by the household of the Sultan of Kedah, at that time still a vassal state of Siam. When King Prajadhipok (King Rama VI) visited Penang in 1929, he stayed at Asdang House on Northam Road. Asdang House and Chakrabongse House were built by Phya Rasada Nupradit of Ranong, better known as Khaw Sim Bee, of the legendary Sino-Thai family whose illustrious members were appointed by King Chulalongkorn as governors of the southern west-coast provinces of Siam, stretching from Ranong, Phuket to Trang.  To enhance the prestige of Siam, Khaw donated a piece of prime real estate at the Esplanade to the public. Called Ranong Ground, the football-size field was meant for public recreation. It has completely disappeared and today is the site of Dewan Sri Pinang.\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House and Asdang House were the venue of numerous parties and receptions especially for visiting dignitaries from Bangkok. Named after the sons of King Chulalongkorn, the two houses were built back to back, with Chakrabongse facing the sea and Asdang House facing the road. Asdang House was sold and later became the Metropole Hotel. Unfortunately, it was illegally demolished on Christmas Day in 1993 and the Mayfair condominium was built on the site. After being fined RM50,000 and instructed by the MPPP to reconstruct the entrance hall, the developer erected a mock-up façade of the original Asdang House. Chakrabongse met a similar fate in the 1970s when it was demolished to build a multi-storey family apartment.\r\nkelawai3\r\nChakrabongse House\r\n\r\nChakrabongse House was described in glowing terms by the Penang Gazette at its house warming by Prince Chakrabongse in 1904:\r\n\r\n“Mr Khaw Sim Bee has taste and very thorough notions of comfort. Standing on the brink of the sea, with its verandahs opening on lovely view of the harbour and purple heights of Kedah beyond, the position of the new house could scarcely be surpassed in Penang.\r\n\r\n“Its snowy whiteness backed by the dark green of palms and flanked with tennis courts will render it the home beautiful indeed. The floors have marble in the halls and on the verandahs. The dinning and drawing rooms are large enough for huge gatherings, and the latter might easily accommodate four or five sets of Lancers.”\r\n\r\nDuring the Japanese occupation, the houses were appropriated by the Japanese military forces. After the war they were returned to Khaw Sim Bee’s only son in Penang, Khaw Joo Chye, who inherited Chakrabongse House and had other properties including 20 Pykett Avenue. Sadly, the Pykett Avenue property met the same fate as Asdang House. It was illegally demolished on 26th July 2010, a few days ahead of a heritage building assessment to be conducted by MPPP.\r\n\r\nIn the 1930s, a new group of Thai royal dignitaries and politicians resided in Penang. Political turmoil in Bangkok caused by the failure of democratic reform and a coup d’état in 1932 forced the first elected Thai Prime Minister Phaya Manopakorn Nititada and Prince Damrong Rajanubhab and Prince Svasti Sophon, both sons of King Rama V, to flee to Penang and seek refuge. They took up residence at Burmah Lane, Kelawai Road and Burmah Road and lived a conspicuous lifestyle. Their exchange of letters with their Bangkok counterparts and family members as well as the documented visits from their friends vividly describe their life in Penang during those years. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab’s memoirs of his residence at “Cinnamon Hall”, 15 Kelawai Road , became a famous classic reading book for all Thais. Cinnamon Hall was demolished long ago but many Thais who visit Penang are curious about this building and try to locate its whereabouts.\r\nkelawai4\r\nPraya Manopakorn never returned to Thailand and died in Penang in 1947. Two streets off Jalan Bagan Jermal were named after him, Jalan Mano and Solok Mano. Prince Svasti Sophon died in Penang in 1935 and his funeral at Wat Pinbang Onn on Green Lane witnessed a gathering of VIPs from Thailand and local officials. He was formerly the Minister of Defence and his daughter was married to King Rama VII. In 1942 Prince Damrong Rajanubuab was allowed to return to Bangkok where he died the following year. Prince Damrong was credited with founding the modern Thai education system and the modern provincial administration. From his books on Thai literature, culture and art works grew the National Library, as well as the National Museum. On the centenary of his birth in 1962, he became the first Thai included in the UNESCO list of the world’s most distinguished persons.  In April 2011, a group of historians from Bangkok interviewed the 92-year-old sister-in-law of Praya Mano, Prabandh Sanasen, who has lived in Penang for 80 years following her brother-in-law’s exile to Penang. Her recorded memories fill a gap in the history of Thailand and Penang.\r\n\r\nOn the evening of 20th October, 2011, one of the bungalows at Burmah Lane where the Thai royal dignitaries used to livekelawai5 was demolished and reduced to a heap of rubble to make way for a yet-to-be approved high-rise development. It is understood that MPPP gave a conservation order only for the second bungalow on the spurious grounds that there was no need to conserve all bungalows of similar appearance -- a case of “heritage tokenism”!\r\n\r\nTo everyone -- especially tourists -- the charms of Penang lie in its rich historic and cultural heritage. If the old buildings that witnessed these historic events are not valued and kept, there will not be anything left as physical evidence to relate to our past.\r\n\r\nBy Clement Liang  \r\n\r\nkelawai6', 'Bungalows at Kelawai Road', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '218-revision-3', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:10:32', '2013-02-17 10:10:32', '', 218, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=542', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (485, 1, '2013-02-19 15:56:48', '2013-02-19 07:56:48', '', 'October 2011', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'october-2011', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:38:37', '2013-02-28 04:38:37', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=485', 85, 'nav_menu_item', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (369, 1, '2013-02-18 10:17:02', '2013-02-18 02:17:02', '

\r\nPembentangan Rang Undang-Undang Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang 2011\r\nUcapan YB Wong Hon Wai (Air Itam) Exco Perancang Bandar Dan Desa , Perumahan Dan Kesenian Mengenai Pembentangan Rang Undang Undang Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang, 2011\r\npada 10-5-2011 di Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang\r\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nYang Berhormat Dato\' Speaker,\r\nPengiktirafan George Town sebagai tapak warisan Dunia UNESCO oleh World Heritage Committee pada 7 Julai 2008 di Quebec City memerlukan Kerajaan untuk menyediakan satu bentuk mekanisma pengurusan dan perundangan yang sesuai bagi memastikan tapak warisan Dunia UNESCO George Town dijaga.\r\n\r\nMekanisme Pengurusan\r\nDraf Rancangan Kawasan Khas (Draft Special Area Plan) dan Pelan Pengurusan Pemuliharaan Bandaraya Bersejarah Selat Melaka: George Town telah disediakan mengikut seksyen 16B, Akta Perancang Bandar dan Desa 1976 sebagai satu mekanisme pengurusan bagi memastikan bahawa kawalan pembangunan dan polisi berkenaan warisan dapat diimplementasikan dengan sewajarnya.\r\n\r\nMekanisme Perundangan\r\n\r\nKerajaan Negeri mengambil initiatif untuk menggariskan Rang Undang-Undang Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang 2011 yang bertujuan untuk mengadakan peruntukan bagi pengurusan, pemeliharaan dan pemuliharaan warisan kebudayaan dan warisan semula jadi bagi negeri Pulau Pinang.\r\n\r\nPeruntukan undang undang perihal warisan negeri Pulau Pinang ini dizahirkan dengan niat untuk mengiktiraf signifikasi elemen elemen warisan kebudayaan dan warisan semulajadi yang telah wujud sekian lama untuk kita tatapi dan hargai dan seterusnya untuk menjadi kebanggaan generasi akan datang .\r\n\r\nBidang kuasa Kerajaan Negeri\r\nSaya ingin merujuk kepada Jadual Kesembilan Senarai III bahawa subject matter culture, preservation of heritage adalah di bawah senarai bersama iaitu antara negeri dan persekutuan. Saya ingin menambah juga di bawah Senarai II – 12A bahawa libraries, museums, ancient and historical monuments and records and archaelogical sites and remains adalah di bawah senarai Negeri.\r\n\r\nIaitu Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang berkuasa untuk membuat enakmen warisan negeri Pulau Pinang seperti yang diperuntukan di bawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan.\r\nSelain daripada itu, mengikut Seksyen 30(a) Akta Warisan Kebangsaan 2005 bagi tapak-tapak warisan yang tidak mendapat keizinan Pihak Berkuasa Negeri, maka Kerajaan bolehlah mengambil alih tanggungjawab untuk memelihara dan memulihara tapak-tapak warisan tersebut dengan kaedah dan perundangan sendiri.\r\n\r\nDari segi isi kandungan Rang undang undang ini , disamping memperincikan tafsiran elemen elemen warisan negeri , ianya mengandungi perkara perkara berkaitan dengan ;-\r\n\r\n1. Fasal 4 dan Fasal 5 telah menggariskan penubuhan Majlis Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang bersama fungsiny. Penubuhan Majlis Warisan Negeri yang berfungsi sebagai badan tertinggi yang menetapkan dasar dan garispanduan berkaitan dengan warisan dalam negeri, disamping membuat pemantauan terhadap pelaksanan “conservation management plan” setiap tapak/bangunan warisan yang telah didaftarkan dalam Daftar warisan Negeri.\r\n\r\n2. Bahagian III Enakmen yang dicadangkan mengadakan peruntukan bagi pelantikan, fungsi dan kuasa Pesuruhjaya Warisan Negeri yang dipertanggungjawabkan untuk melaksanakan fungsi dan menjalankan kewajipan di bawah Rang Undang-undang ini. Pesuruhjaya Warisan Negeri terlibat dengan usaha dengan agensi lain Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan serta lain lain badan yang terlibat dengan usaha usaha pemeliharaan dan pemuliharaan warisan dalam negeri, meninjau dan menetapkan apa-apa warisan kebudayaan dan warisan semulajadi, membuat kerja kerja penyelidikan berkaitan warisan , disamping bertanggungjawab dalam menyediakan dan menjaga Daftar Warisan Negeri . Dalam hal ini perlantikan Pesuruhjaya warisan Negeri serta pegawai pegawai bantuannya adalah dari kalangan penjawat awam dalam pentadbiran Negeri.\r\n\r\n3. Bahagian IV Enakmen yang dicadangkan mengadakan peruntukan bagi tatacara penetapan warisan kebudayaan ketara dan warisan semula jadi sebagai tapak warisan dan perkara berkaitan warisan kebudayaan tidak ketara.\r\n\r\nProses pengenalpastian dan penetapan tapak warisan yang bermula dari kerja kerja tinjauan tapak/bangunan , notis pemberitahuan awam , bantahan awam , kelulusan Majlis , pewartaan dan seterusnya rayuan bagi pihak pihak yang terkilan.\r\nFasal 25 memperuntukkan bahawa seseorang yang terkilan dengan keputusan Pesuruhjya boleh membuat rayuan kepada Pihak Berkuasa Negeri dalam tempoh 30 hari daripada keputusan itu, dan keputusan Pihak Berkuasa Negeri adalah muktamad.\r\n\r\n4. Daftar warisan negeri yang mengandungi senarai lengkap tapak/ bangunan warisan, termasuklah warisan tidak ketara yang telah diwarta dan boleh di rujuk dan di periksa oleh orang awam pada waktu pejabat .\r\n\r\n5. Demi melindungi tapak warisan yang telah diwartakan, Fasal 32 mengenakan kewajipan kepada pemunya tapak warisan yang berhasrat untuk menjual keseluruhan atau mana-mana bahagian tapak warisan hendaklah memberitahu Pesuruhjaya secara bertulis maklumat tentang perjanjian penjualan dalam tempoh 28 hari dari tarikh perjanjian itu ditandatangani.\r\n\r\n6. Fasal 34 mengenakan tanggungawab kepada pemunya atau penghuni suatu tapak warisan untuk memastikan bahawa tapak itu sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik.\r\n\r\n7. Fasal 34(3) Jika Pesuruhjaya berpuas hati bahawa langkah-langkah yang munasabah tidak diambil bagi pemeliharaan sewajarnya tapak warisan itu, dia boleh menjalankan apa-apa kerja pembaikan, setelah memberikan kepada pemunya atau penghuni tapak itu 14 hari notis bertulis mengenai niatnya untuk membuat demikian dan segala kos dan belanja yang ditanggung semasa menjalankan kerja ini hendaklah dibayar balik oleh pemunya atau penghuni tapak itu.\r\n\r\n8. Bahagian VII Enakmen yang dicadangkan juga mengadakan peruntukan bagi pelantikan pegawai peguatkuasa dan pengeluaran kad kuasa untuk menjalankan kuasa yang diberi kepadanya.\r\n\r\n9. Fasal 49 menghendaki pemunya atau penghuni tapak warisan untuk mendapatkan persetujuan daripada Pesuruhjaya sebelum mengenakan apa-apa fi kemasukan ke mana-mana tapak warisan.\r\n\r\n10. Fasal 52 memperuntukan berkenaan kesalahan-kesalahan berkenaan dengan kerosakan tapak warisan dan sekiranya disabitkan didenda maksimum RM500,000 atau dipenjarakan maksimum 5 tahun atau kedua-duanya.\r\n\r\n11. Fasal 54 memperuntukan mana-mana orang yang menyebabkan kerosakan atau kemusnahan tapak warisan atau bahan warisan hendaklah membayar kos pembaikan bagi tapak atau bahan ini sebagai tambahan kepada denda atau penjara.\r\n\r\nDengan wujudnya Enakmen Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang ini , kerajaan negeri pastinya akan menjadi lebih komited dan bertanggungjawab untuk terus memelihara dan memulihara tapak tapak warisan serta juga warisan kebudayaan tidak ketara dengan kaedah dan perundangan yang lengkap dan teratur.\r\n\r\nUmum juga mengetahui bahawa negeri Pulau Pinang banyak mempunyai kawasan dan tapak tapak bersejarah yang perlu dipelihara dan dikekalkan sebagai warisan negeri. Setakat ini sahaja terdapat sebanyak 24 tapak/bangunan bersejarah di seluruh negeri yang perlu didaftar sebagai warisan negeri, termasuklah bangunan pentadbiran MPPP di Padang Kota , Bangunan Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang , dll. Walau bagaimana pun , saya fikir masih terdapat banyak lagi tapak dan bangunan bersejarah di seluruh negeri Pulau Pinang yang masih belum diterokai dan belum diberi perhatian yang secukupnya samada di bahagian pulau mahu pun di Seberang Perai.\r\n\r\nApabila menggariskan Rang Undang-undang ini, pertimbangan khas telah diambil bahawa warisan bukan sahaja wujud di George Town. Skop pemakaian RUU ini meliputi seluruh Pulau Pinang di mana tapak warisan yang dikenapasti dan didaftarkan. Skop Pemakaian RUU ini juga merangkumi bukan sahaja bangunan warisan tetapi meliputi warisan semulajadi dan warisan budaya tidak ketara.\r\n\r\nOleh yang demikian , dengan terlaksananya Enakmen warisan Negeri ini serta dengan tenaga kepakaran yang ada , diharapkan lebih banyak tapak dan bangunan warisan yang akan dikenalpasti , didaftar dan di pelihara dengan lebih terjamin dan sistematik., Dalam pada itu , barang diingat , kewujudan warisan kebudayaan tidak ketara yang meliputi aspek budaya dan adat resam , hasil kesenian anak negeri yang unik akan juga akan dikenalpasti , didaftar dan di pelihara dibawah peruntukan enakmen warisan ini.\r\n\r\nSaya menggunakan platform ini ingin mengulangi seruan Kerajaan Negeri kepada Kerajaan Pusat bahawa peruntukan adil RM 25 juta seperti RM 30 juta kepada Melaka daripada kerajaan persekutuan perlu diberi kepada Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang. Kerajaan Persekutuan tidak melaksanakan keadilan dalam hal ini. Ini seolah-olah satu Negara dua sistem dalam hal ini. Walau bagaimanapun, Kerajaan Negeri tidak pernah ketinggalan di dalam usaha untuk mempromosikan Negeri Pulau Pinang amnya dan Tapak Warisan Dunia George Town khususnya. Kerajaan Negeri juga sentiasa berusaha untuk melipat-gandakan program-program yang di Tapak Warisan Dunia George Town walaupun Kerajaan Negeri masih tidak mendapat peruntukan kewangan RM25 juta seperti yang dijanjikan oleh mantan Perdana Menteri. Pulau Pinang memang telah mendahului dengan penubuhan George Town World Heritage Incorporated(GTWI) dengan cepat dan pelbagai program telah dijalankan untuk tujuan memelihara nama baik George Town sebagai Tapak Warisan Dunia.\r\n\r\nKerajaan negeri juga mengambil maklum untuk memastikan bahawa peruntukan peruntukan Rang undang undang ini adalah selaras dengan undang undang yang ada diperingkat Persekutuan. Jika mana mana peruntukan Enakmen Warisan Negeri ini tidak selaras dan bercanggah dengan peruntukan undang undang Persekutuan, maka semangat Perlembagaan Persekutuan terpakai iaitu Akta Parlimen akan mengatasi Enakmen Negeri.\r\n\r\nYang Berhormat Speaker , dengan mengambil maklum atas perkara perkara dasar di atas , saya memohon mencadangkan.\r\n\r\nAs reported in malaysiakini.\r\n\r\n槟议会三读制定遗产法令\r\n赋权政府严惩破坏古迹者\r\n\r\n刘嘉铭\r\n\r\n除了世遗特区蓝图，槟州政府如今再通过议会制定《槟州遗产法令》，赋权当局管理、维护及提升全槟有形与无形的文化及自然遗产。\r\n\r\n槟州城市及乡村规划、房屋及艺术委员会主席黄汉伟行政议员今午提呈《槟州遗产法令》，供议会三读批准此项涵盖全槟的州级法律，加强古迹维护。\r\n\r\n参与辩论的5名朝野议员都赞同立法，一旦宪报后生效，新法令将允许当局严惩破坏古迹者。\r\n\r\n未与国家遗产法令冲突\r\n\r\n《槟州遗产法令》将不影响《2005年国家遗产法令》，任何诠释上的出入，以后者的阐释为准。\r\n\r\n《槟州遗产法令》建议成立“槟州古迹理事会”，以照顾、维护及保护文化与自然遗产，给予州政府咨询、制定维护遗产的政策、监督与协调古迹区的发展及研究州内的文化与自然遗产。\r\n\r\n理事会成员不可少过17人，除了由槟州首长担任主席，成员包括3位行政议员、州秘书与财政、两个市政局主席及世遗机构总经理等。出席会议的成员可获得津贴。\r\n\r\n专员可进入潜能古迹区\r\n\r\n此外，《槟州遗产法令》也赋权当局委任“槟州遗产专员”，执行《槟州遗产法令》、鉴定古迹为槟州遗产、准备与更新槟州遗产登记名策、策划活动推广古迹保护和维护工作。\r\n\r\n值得一提的是，法令赋予专员极大权限，如进入有潜能列为古迹的私人地区，展开调查或考究。\r\n\r\n但是法令规定，专员须事先给予业主或住户至少14天的书面通知。如果业主因宗教因素拒绝专员进入，专员须取得州政府的书面批准。\r\n\r\n此外，专员在鉴定特定古迹区或建筑物为槟州遗产后，须书面通知业主或住户。后者有权反对、要求召开听证会及提出上诉。\r\n\r\n执法官有权对公众搜身\r\n\r\n除了古迹专员，《槟州遗产法令》允许当局委任执法官辅助古迹专员，唯后者须遵从专员的指示及持有执法证件。\r\n\r\n执法官的权限包括在获得法庭搜查令下，进入古迹执法，甚至硬闯古迹区及充公证物。\r\n\r\n执法官也授权对公众搜身，但需相同性别及态度友善，阻止执法者一律视为违法。\r\n\r\n破坏古迹定义相当广泛\r\n\r\n另一方面，《槟州遗产法令》对破坏古迹的定义相当广泛，共有7种情况被视为破坏古迹。违法而罪成者可面对最高50万令吉罚款，不超过5年监禁，或两者兼施。\r\n\r\n古迹专员在取得州政府的同意后，可把有形和无形的古迹宪报为槟州遗产。\r\n\r\n如果相关古迹不在政府地段，当局在宪报前须在不少过30天前通知业主或住户。之后，业主或住户仍可在当地居住。\r\n\r\n届时，古迹业主可向专员申请拨款或货款，作为维护和保护古迹用途。\r\n\r\n

Pembentangan Rang Undang-Undang Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang 2011

\r\nUcapan YB Wong Hon Wai (Air Itam) Exco Perancang Bandar Dan Desa , Perumahan Dan Kesenian Mengenai Pembentangan Rang Undang Undang Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang, 2011\r\npada 10-5-2011 di Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang\r\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nYang Berhormat Dato\' Speaker,\r\nPengiktirafan George Town sebagai tapak warisan Dunia UNESCO oleh World Heritage Committee pada 7 Julai 2008 di Quebec City memerlukan Kerajaan untuk menyediakan satu bentuk mekanisma pengurusan dan perundangan yang sesuai bagi memastikan tapak warisan Dunia UNESCO George Town dijaga.\r\n\r\nMekanisme Pengurusan\r\nDraf Rancangan Kawasan Khas (Draft Special Area Plan) dan Pelan Pengurusan Pemuliharaan Bandaraya Bersejarah Selat Melaka: George Town telah disediakan mengikut seksyen 16B, Akta Perancang Bandar dan Desa 1976 sebagai satu mekanisme pengurusan bagi memastikan bahawa kawalan pembangunan dan polisi berkenaan warisan dapat diimplementasikan dengan sewajarnya.\r\n\r\nMekanisme Perundangan\r\n\r\nKerajaan Negeri mengambil initiatif untuk menggariskan Rang Undang-Undang Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang 2011 yang bertujuan untuk mengadakan peruntukan bagi pengurusan, pemeliharaan dan pemuliharaan warisan kebudayaan dan warisan semula jadi bagi negeri Pulau Pinang.\r\n\r\nPeruntukan undang undang perihal warisan negeri Pulau Pinang ini dizahirkan dengan niat untuk mengiktiraf signifikasi elemen elemen warisan kebudayaan dan warisan semulajadi yang telah wujud sekian lama untuk kita tatapi dan hargai dan seterusnya untuk menjadi kebanggaan generasi akan datang .\r\n\r\nBidang kuasa Kerajaan Negeri\r\nSaya ingin merujuk kepada Jadual Kesembilan Senarai III bahawa subject matter culture, preservation of heritage adalah di bawah senarai bersama iaitu antara negeri dan persekutuan. Saya ingin menambah juga di bawah Senarai II – 12A bahawa libraries, museums, ancient and historical monuments and records and archaelogical sites and remains adalah di bawah senarai Negeri.\r\n\r\nIaitu Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang berkuasa untuk membuat enakmen warisan negeri Pulau Pinang seperti yang diperuntukan di bawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan.\r\nSelain daripada itu, mengikut Seksyen 30(a) Akta Warisan Kebangsaan 2005 bagi tapak-tapak warisan yang tidak mendapat keizinan Pihak Berkuasa Negeri, maka Kerajaan bolehlah mengambil alih tanggungjawab untuk memelihara dan memulihara tapak-tapak warisan tersebut dengan kaedah dan perundangan sendiri.\r\n\r\nDari segi isi kandungan Rang undang undang ini , disamping memperincikan tafsiran elemen elemen warisan negeri , ianya mengandungi perkara perkara berkaitan dengan ;-\r\n\r\n1. Fasal 4 dan Fasal 5 telah menggariskan penubuhan Majlis Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang bersama fungsiny. Penubuhan Majlis Warisan Negeri yang berfungsi sebagai badan tertinggi yang menetapkan dasar dan garispanduan berkaitan dengan warisan dalam negeri, disamping membuat pemantauan terhadap pelaksanan “conservation management plan” setiap tapak/bangunan warisan yang telah didaftarkan dalam Daftar warisan Negeri.\r\n\r\n2. Bahagian III Enakmen yang dicadangkan mengadakan peruntukan bagi pelantikan, fungsi dan kuasa Pesuruhjaya Warisan Negeri yang dipertanggungjawabkan untuk melaksanakan fungsi dan menjalankan kewajipan di bawah Rang Undang-undang ini. Pesuruhjaya Warisan Negeri terlibat dengan usaha dengan agensi lain Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan serta lain lain badan yang terlibat dengan usaha usaha pemeliharaan dan pemuliharaan warisan dalam negeri, meninjau dan menetapkan apa-apa warisan kebudayaan dan warisan semulajadi, membuat kerja kerja penyelidikan berkaitan warisan , disamping bertanggungjawab dalam menyediakan dan menjaga Daftar Warisan Negeri . Dalam hal ini perlantikan Pesuruhjaya warisan Negeri serta pegawai pegawai bantuannya adalah dari kalangan penjawat awam dalam pentadbiran Negeri.\r\n\r\n3. Bahagian IV Enakmen yang dicadangkan mengadakan peruntukan bagi tatacara penetapan warisan kebudayaan ketara dan warisan semula jadi sebagai tapak warisan dan perkara berkaitan warisan kebudayaan tidak ketara.\r\n\r\nProses pengenalpastian dan penetapan tapak warisan yang bermula dari kerja kerja tinjauan tapak/bangunan , notis pemberitahuan awam , bantahan awam , kelulusan Majlis , pewartaan dan seterusnya rayuan bagi pihak pihak yang terkilan.\r\nFasal 25 memperuntukkan bahawa seseorang yang terkilan dengan keputusan Pesuruhjya boleh membuat rayuan kepada Pihak Berkuasa Negeri dalam tempoh 30 hari daripada keputusan itu, dan keputusan Pihak Berkuasa Negeri adalah muktamad.\r\n\r\n4. Daftar warisan negeri yang mengandungi senarai lengkap tapak/ bangunan warisan, termasuklah warisan tidak ketara yang telah diwarta dan boleh di rujuk dan di periksa oleh orang awam pada waktu pejabat .\r\n\r\n5. Demi melindungi tapak warisan yang telah diwartakan, Fasal 32 mengenakan kewajipan kepada pemunya tapak warisan yang berhasrat untuk menjual keseluruhan atau mana-mana bahagian tapak warisan hendaklah memberitahu Pesuruhjaya secara bertulis maklumat tentang perjanjian penjualan dalam tempoh 28 hari dari tarikh perjanjian itu ditandatangani.\r\n\r\n6. Fasal 34 mengenakan tanggungawab kepada pemunya atau penghuni suatu tapak warisan untuk memastikan bahawa tapak itu sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik.\r\n\r\n7. Fasal 34(3) Jika Pesuruhjaya berpuas hati bahawa langkah-langkah yang munasabah tidak diambil bagi pemeliharaan sewajarnya tapak warisan itu, dia boleh menjalankan apa-apa kerja pembaikan, setelah memberikan kepada pemunya atau penghuni tapak itu 14 hari notis bertulis mengenai niatnya untuk membuat demikian dan segala kos dan belanja yang ditanggung semasa menjalankan kerja ini hendaklah dibayar balik oleh pemunya atau penghuni tapak itu.\r\n\r\n8. Bahagian VII Enakmen yang dicadangkan juga mengadakan peruntukan bagi pelantikan pegawai peguatkuasa dan pengeluaran kad kuasa untuk menjalankan kuasa yang diberi kepadanya.\r\n\r\n9. Fasal 49 menghendaki pemunya atau penghuni tapak warisan untuk mendapatkan persetujuan daripada Pesuruhjaya sebelum mengenakan apa-apa fi kemasukan ke mana-mana tapak warisan.\r\n\r\n10. Fasal 52 memperuntukan berkenaan kesalahan-kesalahan berkenaan dengan kerosakan tapak warisan dan sekiranya disabitkan didenda maksimum RM500,000 atau dipenjarakan maksimum 5 tahun atau kedua-duanya.\r\n\r\n11. Fasal 54 memperuntukan mana-mana orang yang menyebabkan kerosakan atau kemusnahan tapak warisan atau bahan warisan hendaklah membayar kos pembaikan bagi tapak atau bahan ini sebagai tambahan kepada denda atau penjara.\r\n\r\nDengan wujudnya Enakmen Warisan Negeri Pulau Pinang ini , kerajaan negeri pastinya akan menjadi lebih komited dan bertanggungjawab untuk terus memelihara dan memulihara tapak tapak warisan serta juga warisan kebudayaan tidak ketara dengan kaedah dan perundangan yang lengkap dan teratur.\r\n\r\nUmum juga mengetahui bahawa negeri Pulau Pinang banyak mempunyai kawasan dan tapak tapak bersejarah yang perlu dipelihara dan dikekalkan sebagai warisan negeri. Setakat ini sahaja terdapat sebanyak 24 tapak/bangunan bersejarah di seluruh negeri yang perlu didaftar sebagai warisan negeri, termasuklah bangunan pentadbiran MPPP di Padang Kota , Bangunan Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang , dll. Walau bagaimana pun , saya fikir masih terdapat banyak lagi tapak dan bangunan bersejarah di seluruh negeri Pulau Pinang yang masih belum diterokai dan belum diberi perhatian yang secukupnya samada di bahagian pulau mahu pun di Seberang Perai.\r\n\r\nApabila menggariskan Rang Undang-undang ini, pertimbangan khas telah diambil bahawa warisan bukan sahaja wujud di George Town. Skop pemakaian RUU ini meliputi seluruh Pulau Pinang di mana tapak warisan yang dikenapasti dan didaftarkan. Skop Pemakaian RUU ini juga merangkumi bukan sahaja bangunan warisan tetapi meliputi warisan semulajadi dan warisan budaya tidak ketara.\r\n\r\nOleh yang demikian , dengan terlaksananya Enakmen warisan Negeri ini serta dengan tenaga kepakaran yang ada , diharapkan lebih banyak tapak dan bangunan warisan yang akan dikenalpasti , didaftar dan di pelihara dengan lebih terjamin dan sistematik., Dalam pada itu , barang diingat , kewujudan warisan kebudayaan tidak ketara yang meliputi aspek budaya dan adat resam , hasil kesenian anak negeri yang unik akan juga akan dikenalpasti , didaftar dan di pelihara dibawah peruntukan enakmen warisan ini.\r\n\r\nSaya menggunakan platform ini ingin mengulangi seruan Kerajaan Negeri kepada Kerajaan Pusat bahawa peruntukan adil RM 25 juta seperti RM 30 juta kepada Melaka daripada kerajaan persekutuan perlu diberi kepada Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang. Kerajaan Persekutuan tidak melaksanakan keadilan dalam hal ini. Ini seolah-olah satu Negara dua sistem dalam hal ini. Walau bagaimanapun, Kerajaan Negeri tidak pernah ketinggalan di dalam usaha untuk mempromosikan Negeri Pulau Pinang amnya dan Tapak Warisan Dunia George Town khususnya. Kerajaan Negeri juga sentiasa berusaha untuk melipat-gandakan program-program yang di Tapak Warisan Dunia George Town walaupun Kerajaan Negeri masih tidak mendapat peruntukan kewangan RM25 juta seperti yang dijanjikan oleh mantan Perdana Menteri. Pulau Pinang memang telah mendahului dengan penubuhan George Town World Heritage Incorporated(GTWI) dengan cepat dan pelbagai program telah dijalankan untuk tujuan memelihara nama baik George Town sebagai Tapak Warisan Dunia.\r\n\r\nKerajaan negeri juga mengambil maklum untuk memastikan bahawa peruntukan peruntukan Rang undang undang ini adalah selaras dengan undang undang yang ada diperingkat Persekutuan. Jika mana mana peruntukan Enakmen Warisan Negeri ini tidak selaras dan bercanggah dengan peruntukan undang undang Persekutuan, maka semangat Perlembagaan Persekutuan terpakai iaitu Akta Parlimen akan mengatasi Enakmen Negeri.\r\n\r\nYang Berhormat Speaker , dengan mengambil maklum atas perkara perkara dasar di atas , saya memohon mencadangkan.\r\n\r\nAs reported in malaysiakini.\r\n\r\n槟议会三读制定遗产法令\r\n赋权政府严惩破坏古迹者\r\n\r\n刘嘉铭\r\n\r\n除了世遗特区蓝图，槟州政府如今再通过议会制定《槟州遗产法令》，赋权当局管理、维护及提升全槟有形与无形的文化及自然遗产。\r\n\r\n槟州城市及乡村规划、房屋及艺术委员会主席黄汉伟行政议员今午提呈《槟州遗产法令》，供议会三读批准此项涵盖全槟的州级法律，加强古迹维护。\r\n\r\n参与辩论的5名朝野议员都赞同立法，一旦宪报后生效，新法令将允许当局严惩破坏古迹者。\r\n\r\n未与国家遗产法令冲突\r\n\r\n《槟州遗产法令》将不影响《2005年国家遗产法令》，任何诠释上的出入，以后者的阐释为准。\r\n\r\n《槟州遗产法令》建议成立“槟州古迹理事会”，以照顾、维护及保护文化与自然遗产，给予州政府咨询、制定维护遗产的政策、监督与协调古迹区的发展及研究州内的文化与自然遗产。\r\n\r\n理事会成员不可少过17人，除了由槟州首长担任主席，成员包括3位行政议员、州秘书与财政、两个市政局主席及世遗机构总经理等。出席会议的成员可获得津贴。\r\n\r\n专员可进入潜能古迹区\r\n\r\n此外，《槟州遗产法令》也赋权当局委任“槟州遗产专员”，执行《槟州遗产法令》、鉴定古迹为槟州遗产、准备与更新槟州遗产登记名策、策划活动推广古迹保护和维护工作。\r\n\r\n值得一提的是，法令赋予专员极大权限，如进入有潜能列为古迹的私人地区，展开调查或考究。\r\n\r\n但是法令规定，专员须事先给予业主或住户至少14天的书面通知。如果业主因宗教因素拒绝专员进入，专员须取得州政府的书面批准。\r\n\r\n此外，专员在鉴定特定古迹区或建筑物为槟州遗产后，须书面通知业主或住户。后者有权反对、要求召开听证会及提出上诉。\r\n\r\n执法官有权对公众搜身\r\n\r\n除了古迹专员，《槟州遗产法令》允许当局委任执法官辅助古迹专员，唯后者须遵从专员的指示及持有执法证件。\r\n\r\n执法官的权限包括在获得法庭搜查令下，进入古迹执法，甚至硬闯古迹区及充公证物。\r\n\r\n执法官也授权对公众搜身，但需相同性别及态度友善，阻止执法者一律视为违法。\r\n\r\n破坏古迹定义相当广泛\r\n\r\n另一方面，《槟州遗产法令》对破坏古迹的定义相当广泛，共有7种情况被视为破坏古迹。违法而罪成者可面对最高50万令吉罚款，不超过5年监禁，或两者兼施。\r\n\r\n古迹专员在取得州政府的同意后，可把有形和无形的古迹宪报为槟州遗产。\r\n\r\n如果相关古迹不在政府地段，当局在宪报前须在不少过30天前通知业主或住户。之后，业主或住户仍可在当地居住。\r\n\r\n届时，古迹业主可向专员申请拨款或货款，作为维护和保护古迹用途。\r\n\r\n

Monthly Cemetery Tour

\r\n\r\nEvery last Sunday of the month!! \r\n\r\nThis month: 24 February 2013, 2.00pm, meet at the information counter of Little Penang Street Market, Upper Penang Road by 1.50pm.\r\n\r\nAdmission: FREE (Pre-registration is required) \r\n\r\nRegistration : Contact Penang Heritage Trust 04-264 2631 or email info@pht.org.my \r\n\r\nThe Protestant Cemetery is a site of great significance within the World Heritage Site of George Town. It is the final resting place of Penang\'s European pioneers such as Francis Light, James Scott, several early governors, Stamford Raffles’ brother-in-law Quintin Dick Thomas, David Brown of Glugor Estate, Reverend Hutchings who founded the Penang Free School, Reverend Thomas Beighton of the London Missionary Society, George Earl and James Richardson Logan. Many of them died of tropical fevers, probably malaria, brought about by the widespread clearing of forests.\r\ncemetery2\r\nAlso buried here was a young officer named Thomas Leonowens, whose widow Anna Leonowens became a schoolmistress in 19th century Siam. Her romanticised account of her life in the East inspired the play and film \'The King and I\' and more recently \'Anna and the King\' which was partially filmed in Penang. \r\n\r\nThe tour is conducted by Penang Heritage Trust (PHT) and supported by Penang Global Tourism (PGT).', 'Monthly Cemetery Tour', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '173-revision-3', '', '', '2013-02-23 16:13:39', '2013-02-23 08:13:39', '', 173, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=564', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (434, 1, '2013-02-18 19:05:47', '2013-02-18 11:05:47', '

Message by the President

\r\nThe Penang Heritage Trust is a non-profit organisation and a registered charity. If you have donated a minimum of RM 100 and require a tax-exempt receipt, please email us at info@pht.org.my with the subject heading \'Donation to PHT\'.\r\n\r\nThe Penang Heritage Trust is 25 years old this year. The organisation consists of many individuals who champion the need to preserve the Penang that we know, love and remember. When we started, few people in Penang thought about heritage. Today \'heritage\' is a household word.\r\n\r\nIn 1998, the Penang Heritage Trust mooted the idea of getting George Town recognized as a world heritage site. After a 10-year campaign, UNESCO listing was finally conferred in 2008. Government and business now realise that the World Heritage status is vital to the future of Penang. Individuals have invested in heritage properties. Malaysians are taking a new pride in George Town.\r\n\r\nWe are a non-profit organisation with up to 500 ordinary and life members. Ten elected council members run the Trust as volunteers. Two young persons staff our office at 26 Church Street. We update our members quarterly by mail and more often via email. We organise site visits and talks for members almost monthly.\r\n\r\nAs the interest in Penang and George Town is growing, the rate of urban change and development is also speeding up. The Trust needs to be strengthened to meet the challenges ahead. We work with government, media and stakeholders to ensure the protection of heritage. We receive daily inquiries from visitors as well as ordinary people who are repairing their houses, researching their family history or distressed about threats to heritage. People look to us for information and advice. They expect "the PHT" to make a stand on every important heritage issue.\r\n\r\nWe cannot continue to do all this without your help and support. We need funds to advocate for heritage and serve our members and the public. Please help us to look after the Penang that you know, love and remember. Make a tax-exempt donation to the Penang Heritage Trust today.\r\n\r\nKhoo Salma Nasution, November 2011\r\n\r\n

Upcoming Talks

\r\n>The Lost Kampungs of George Town: \r\n\r\nAn architectural and cultural landscape of the 19th and early 20th centuries\r\nBy Dr. Wazir Jahan Karim\r\n\r\nDate: February 27, Wednesday\r\nTime: 5:30 pm\r\nVenue: George Town World Heritage Inc., 116 & 118 Lebuh Acheh\r\nLanguage : English\r\nkampong\r\n Dr. Wazir Jahan Karim will give us a talk that is part of a work in progress, following a cultural mapping project of “Muslim Heritage in George Town”. She will recount some of the narratives of Muslim elders, mostly Jawi Peranakan, Arab Peranakan and Indian Muslims who were born in George Town. These reconstructions of Muslim communities and lifestyle demonstrate a vibrancy associated with international trade, cosmopolitanism, philanthropy and religious and secular education, all of which have since declined in George Town.\r\n\r\nTalking Books: Oral Heritage and Penang Hokkien Rhymes\r\nBy Toh Teong Chuan\r\n\r\nDate: 2nd March 2013 (Saturday)\r\nTime: 2.00pm-3.30pm\r\nVenue: George Town World Heritage Inc., 116 & 118 Lebuh Acheh\r\nLanguage : Mandarin\r\nbook1\r\n Local author Toh Teong Chuan is an enthusiastic researcher and collector of traditional Hokkien rhymes, and in 2011 he published the book, Hokkien Nursery Rhymes in Old Penang. \r\n\r\nHe joins us for a Saturday afternoon to talk to us about the various types of dialect rhymes, their characteristics and values, how and why rhymes are collected and edited, as well as the challenges he faced in collecting data for publication.

A large group of PHT members were given a rare chance on 2 October of a guided tour through the production plant, together with a fascinating illustrated presentation on the A-to-Z of the rubber business by Mr Ooi Boon Chye, the Lee Rubber Group Quality Assurance Manager of 43 years’ service.\r\nThe factory is closing due to Company plans to consolidate production in the Company’s several other mainland factories, situated closer to sources of raw rubber material. Raw rubber is no longer produced in commercial quantities on Penang Island and the raw material for the Penang factory is now being transported in entirely from sources outside the island.\r\n\r\nLocated in the Paya Terubong Valley, the factory with its blue roof can be seen to the left (east) side of the road as you travel south up the valley, just below the high-rise clusters at the top end of the valley. The factory was originally built in 1954-5 by another rubber company and was acquired in 1970, being then the largest rubber factory in Penang, by Lee Rubber which moved here from Lee’s earlier Penang factory located in Ghaut Lebuh Noordin, Georgetown.\r\n\r\nThe founder of Lee Rubber Company was the Singaporean entrepreneur and philanthropist Lee Kong Chiang (1893-1967), who built his first rubber factory in Muar, Johor in 1927. His company grew rapidly into a multi-million dollar rubber business and expanded extensively into pineapple plantations and canning. The well-known Lee Rubber building in Art deco style in central KL, close to the old central market, dates from the early days of the business in the 1930s .\r\n\r\nLee Rubber subsequently expanded into further sectors, notably banking (OCBC Bank) and real estate development, and the Lee Rubber Group’s portfolio today also includes palm oil production, edible oil products and biscuit production. In rubber, Lee Rubber Company remains a processor and does not own or operate rubber plantations itself.\r\nrubber2\r\nDuring the growth of the rubber business Lee Rubber established production plants in a number of locations in peninsular Malaya and in Indonesia. Today, Lee Rubber accounts for a significant portion of the entire Malaysia rubber output. The Group remains incorporated in Singapore and under the control of the founding family.\r\n\r\nPHT is extremely thankful to My Ooi Boon Chye for his presentation, as well as to Mr Huang Thiay Sherng, the Group General Manager for Rubber, who welcomed the PHT visitors and Mr Chew Chee Beng, the Lee Rubber Penang Branch Manager, who led the factory tour. The refreshments provided by the Company at the end of the visit, including samples of the Company’s food products, were much appreciated.\r\n\r\nA vast range of interesting points about rubber were laid out by Mr Ooi Boon Chy during his illustrated briefing. A few of these are given below.\r\n\r\nRubber Trees\r\n\r\nYou can recognise a rubber tree (hevea brasiliensis) by its distinctive clusters of three long leaves at the end of each branch (hanging downwards like an umbrella). The rubber tree originates from the Amazon region of Brazil and is one of several tree families which produce a white latex-like sap. and the first recorded rubber tree was planted here in 1877. Once mature (which takes a minimum of 5 years, a rubber tree is economically good for 10-20 years, thereafter declining and becoming uneconomic – although the trees may well be able to survive for as long as 100 years or more. Tree life is very much affected by the quality of tapping and the care taken in the progressive removal of sections of the tree’s outer bark.\r\n\r\nUses of rubber\r\n\r\nIt is believed that Christopher Columbus first brought rubber to Europe in the 1490s after seeing local inhabitants, during his travels in the Americas, playing a game with bouncing balls. However, no great uses for rubber were developed until the early 19th century after Charles Goodyear discovered the vulcanization process in 1839 (heat-treating rubber with sulphur), which renders the rubber unaffected by changes in temperature. The rapidly developing road transportation sector (tyres, inner tubes, automotive belts) subsequently became and remains the principal factor driving the demand for natural rubber. Transportation today consumes 70% of the world’s output of natural rubber and the demand from this sector looks set to expand steadily. Even with the evolution of tyre specifications to include chemical, textile and metallic ingredients, natural rubber today still accounts for 17% by weight of the typical car radial tyre and 34% of the typical truck radial tyre.\r\n\r\nRubber tree tappingrubber3\r\n\r\nRubber trees have to be tapped diagonally downwards from left to right and not right to left, in order to cut the latex-bearing veins at the optimum angle to maximise extraction of the raw latex. Tapping is very skilled work, given the objectives of maximising the capture of latex and at the same time ensuring long productive life for the tree. It has not so far proven possible to mechanise this process on any scale (although hand-held electric tapping cutter tools have been tried) and it therefore continues to depend on human skill.\r\n\r\nProduction process\r\n\r\nRubber in its raw latex form is usually received at the factory by truck in large bulk container loads, with the rubber in ‘cup-lump’ form – naturally coagulated into small lumps – seen here in the receiving bay at Lee Rubber Co. A multi-layer structure of middlemen and dealers is often involved in collecting the raw rubber from farmers and batching it into economic quantities for delivery to the processors, such as Lee Rubber Co. Production comprises a number of mechanical processes, including washing, blending and drying the material, before forming it into standard size slabs or sheets for delivery to the final users, principally the automotive tyre manufacturers.\r\n\r\nProduction issues\r\n\r\nThe production process involves a number of issues and challenges. Principal among those mentioned by Lee Rubber was the contamination (foreign matter and other impurities) found in the cup lumps on arrival at the processing plant. This is a perpetual problem due to lax quality standards in the early stages of the rubber collection process. Other significant issues include the environmental issues of odour and other pollution resulting from the factory process, which can become significant community issues. On the plantation side, far from it being a simple process of planting and growing tress and then harvesting the latex, considerable scientific resources are permanently dedicated to R&D in matters such as tree species and subspecies; development and testing of new and more productive clones; pests, diseases and their containment; and planning and testing of new routines, schedules and techniques for the actual tapping operations.\r\n\r\nRubber plantations vs oil palm plantations\r\n\r\nThe current and forecast long term trends in natural rubber prices (rising) compared with those of palm oil prices (falling) indicate that traditional plantation companies which have actively converted their planted areas from rubber to palm oil may not have made the best strategic choice.\r\n\r\nBy Brian Walling', 'Lee Rubber Factory', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '197-revision-2', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:42:55', '2013-02-17 09:42:55', '', 197, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=512', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (513, 1, '2013-02-17 17:38:35', '2013-02-17 09:38:35', 'Ipoh and The Kinta Valley, June 2011ipoh1\r\n\r\nAfter a postponement in March, a site visit five years in the making finally saw the light of day when on Saturday morning 18th June 20 PHT members including our guide Tim and Sheau Fung, our manager, assisted by Pei Ling, assembled at the Caring Society Complex. The bus left at 8.20 a.m. and reached the Regal Lodge hotel in Ipoh at 11.30a.m. En route, Tim gave a brief introduction to the history of Ipoh and the Kinta Valley. Villages sprouted up along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaya because of the proximity to the sea but it was because of tin discovered and mined in these areas that we have the inland towns that developed into cities such as Taiping, Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur. The earlier wave of Chinese migrants who migrated to Penang and the northern region came from Fujian province where the Hokkien dialect is spoken. It was these Chinese who mined the tin in Taiping. When new tin mines were started in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur, a new wave of immigrants arrived from Canton, the reason why the main dialect in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur is Cantonese.\r\n\r\nipoh2\r\nAfter leaving our luggage at the hotel, we set out for the most important stop for most Malaysians, a food stop! The bus dropped us off at what was considered the food capital in Ipoh. With several coffee shops to select from, most of the group ended up having bean sprouts chicken before stocking up on biscuits and other dry food products from nearby shops.\r\n\r\nPAPAN AND SYBIL KATHIGASU\r\n\r\nOur first stop after lunch was Papan where we visited Sybil Kathigasu’s house and makeshift clinic.\r\n\r\nOur host and guide for the day was Law Saik Hong of the Perak Heritage Society. The humble house where Sybil performed her heroic deeds stands alone in what was once a row of shophouses. Papan today is a sleepy town where the population is on the decline as most young people have moved to bigger towns in search of greener pastures. Saik Hong showed us various artefacts and shared stories of Sybil’s bravery during the Japanese occupation. She secretly kept a shortwave radio and listened to BBC broadcasts. One can still see today the hole in the floor underneath the staircase where she hid the radio. She also secretly provided medical supplies and services and information to the resistance forces until she and her family were arrested in 1943. Despite being interrogated and tortured by the Japanese military police, Sybil refused to cooperate and was detained in the Batu Gajah jail. After Malaya was liberated in August 1945, she was flown to Britain for medical treatment. At a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in October 1947 she was awarded the George Medal, the only woman in Malaya to receive this award for bravery.*\r\nipoh3\r\nOur next stop was the house of Raja Bilah, the headman of Papan, just a short walk from Sybil’s shophouse. The Sumatran nobleman’s home was restored by the National Museum several years ago and has since been used as a location in several films, most notably Anna and the King.\r\n\r\nBATU GAJAH\r\n\r\nFrom Papan, we made our way by coach to Batu Gajah Jail and the cemetery known as “God’s Little Acre.” Here, we visited the graves of the three English planters whose deaths at Sungei Siput on 16th June 1948 resulted in the declaration of the Malayan Emergency (1948 -1960).** Before leaving Batu Gajah we had a final stop at the lovely hospital which also enabled us to view the church and the surrounding administrative buildings.\r\n\r\nTIN DREDGE\r\n\r\nOur next stop was to the last remaining tin dredge in Malaysia. It is a remarkable example of engineering. Opened to the public in 2008, it is badly in need of repair (tilting to one side with water seeping in) but it is a great place to explore and marvel at for its sheer size. Walking onto the tin dredge was like stepping back in time. The cavernous interior was silent, but when the dredger was in full operation, the noise would have been unbearable. One can imagine when it was fully operational; its huge buckets scooping and transporting alluvial to its body. The excavated material was then broken up by jets of water as it fell onto revolving screens. The tin-bearing alluvial then passed to a primary separating plant. Large stones and rubble were retained by the screens. The largest dredge could dig continuously to depths of up to 200 metres below water. It could handle over three-quarters of a million cubic metres of material per month. The first tin dredge was introduced by Malayan Tin Dredging Ltd. in the Kinta Valley tin fields in 1913.  During the heyday of the tin mining industry in 1940, there were 123 dredges in operation. This number began to diminish after 1981. By the end of 1983 there were only 38 dredges left. Although it looks too big to move, these massive dredges once devoured swamps and jungles as they searched hungrily for tin deposits, reshaping the local topography at the same time. Kinta Valley is now full of ponds due to the mining process. Members who went to the top of the dredger had a bird’s eye view over the surrounding ponds. At the entrance to the dredge there is a small museum displaying a selection of tools. It was here that some members bought custard apples from the museum’s fruit orchard. After a refreshing jelly dessert drink in Tanjung Tualang, we visited a nearby seafood restaurant for dinner before returning to Ipoh. One member remarked that tualang in Hokkien refers to grown-ups, so we really felt still like kids (gheena in Hokkien) amongst the tualang there!\r\nipoh4\r\nIPOH HERITAGE WALK\r\n\r\nNext morning after a sumptuous breakfast of dim sum and other local hawker favourites, we were met by Mark Lay and several key members of the Kinta Heritage Society. The head of the State Legislative Council for Tourism also made a brief appearance.\r\n\r\nFollowing the Ipoh Heritage Walk maps produced by the State with the help of Kinta Heritage Society, we set out on foot, led by Mark. Mark was one of the key people involved in producing these self-guided walks. He shared many interesting anecdotes as we made our way to the major sites. It was a balmy morning and the overcast sky without the direct sunlight made it easier to walk. Sites that the group managed to cover included the Ipoh Railway Station (also known as the “Taj Mahal of Ipoh”), the Cenotaph in front of the railway station, the Court House, Church of St John the Divine, Ipoh ‘Padang’ (field), the Indian Muslim Mosque and St Michael’s Institution. The group then proceeded to the Birch Memorial Clock Tower passing a few heritage buildings in the Old Town ‘high street’ such as the Mercantile Bank Building and HSBC Building. The tour ended with a walk through Concubine Lane, a narrow lane flanked by quaint pre-war shophouses believed to have been inhabited by concubines belonging to rich mining merchants. Ipoh does have a reputation of having fair maidens!\r\nipoh5\r\nBefore leaving Ipoh, we had lunch at one of Ipoh’s most famous coffee shops, located at the end of Concubine Lane.  Considered as a food institution by some where Ipoh’s heritage food can be savoured, members enjoyed the wide hawker selection. Some members even ta pao (takeaway) food back home! It was indeed a weekend to remember, equal parts of interesting sites, stories, people, and of course food!

Very little physical evidence remains today to remind us that any Japanese community ever existed there and only the names of the streets in Chinese and the interpretative signboards on the old wall bear witness to their presence once upon a time. During the visit, several century-old reprints showing the shops and hotels run by Japanese in the vicinity raised questions and curiosity as to why these people came all the way to Penang.\r\n\r\nIn the late 19th century, both Cintra Street and Campbell Street were the thriving red light districts of Penang. The Karayuki-san who went into prostitution overseas began when Penang as an entrepot had its first influx of Japanese people and cultural contact. Sailors and migrant workers thronging the streets in search of pleasures often found the petite Japanese girls clad in kimonos cute and accommodating.  But behind the smiling faces, these girls endured a life of hardship starting with the long arduous journey out of impoverished villages. Innocently believing in misleading offers of waitress job offers in restaurants and hotels overseas and trapped in money lending schemes that enslaved them for years, their situation was not very different from what we read in the newspapers about foreign prostitutes caught nowadays.\r\n\r\nThe arrival of hundreds of Karayuki-san later led to the formation of ‘Little Japan’ quarter around Cintra Street and Kampung Malabar in George Town which the local Chinese still fondly call Jipun Huey Kay and Jipun Sinlor. In 1910, the official census by the Japanese Consul-General counted 207 Japanese residents in Penang with over half of them involved in some sort of flesh trade. In fact, the majority of the tombs in the Penang Japanese Cemetery at Jalan P. Ramlee belonging to the young Karayuki-san who died from various sicknesses.\r\n\r\nThe success of the Meiji Restoration and the humiliating defeat of the Russian fleet in the Tsushima Straits in 1905 saw Japan emerge as a military power on the world stage. The presence of large numbers of Japanese prostitutes overseas could not longer be tolerated.  Working together with the British authorities, open prostitution in the Straits Settlements was finally banned in 1920’s and the fate of the Karayuki-san was sealed with most of them either returning to Japan, cohabiting with local men or simply going underground to continue the trade.\r\n\r\nAt the same time, the Japanese government was actively promoting foreign trade with Southeast Asian countries and encouraging its citizens to migrate overseas.  Penang received a fair share of these people in the form of photographers, pharmacists, hotel operators, barbers, dentists and traders in imported Japanese goods. Two of the well-known Japanese establishments in town were a sundry shop named Osakaya in Penang Road and Asahi Hotel in Transfer Road.\r\n\r\nBy the late 1930’s, Japan’s invasion of China heightened the conflicts between the Japanese and Chinese communities in Malaya and a series of boycott campaigns and attacks on Japanese shops and civilians drove the Japanese population of\r\nPenang down to around 50 just before war broke out. Eventually they were all rounded up and interned by the police as enemy aliens when war was declared in 1941. After the war, all the Japanese were repatriated and their property confiscated and it was not until 1960’s that  another wave of Japanese arrived, this time as investors and industrialists.\r\n\r\nAfter enjoying a cool break in an old fashioned coffee shop while listening to the stories shared by Clement and many others, the group went on to stroll along Cintra Street when the afternoon heat had subsided. Judging from the stream of questions asked, the site visit generated considerable much interest in this bygone community.\r\n\r\nText and images by Clement Liang', 'Cintra Street and The Pre-War Japanese Community', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '185-revision-2', '', '', '2013-02-17 17:30:53', '2013-02-17 09:30:53', '', 185, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=514', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (545, 1, '2013-02-18 09:46:03', '2013-02-18 01:46:03', 'Community Participation in Waqf Revitalizationwaqf\r\n\r\nCommunity Participation in Waqf Revitalization is a project coordinated by the Kapitan Kling Mosque Qariah Committee, the Penang Heritage Trust (PHT), with various other partners.

The aim of the hospital was to provide healthcare to the poor and needy as well as rehabilitation for opium smokers. After Mun Ah Foo passed on, the Pauper’s Hospital continued to be managed by a committee headed by Governor Archibald Anson, with representations from the Chinese clan associations, guilds and other pillars of 19th century society. During this period, the Leper Hospital was relocated to Pulau Jerejak, off the southeast coast of Penang, where it remained until the mid-20th century.\r\n\r\nIn the hospital grounds we viewed the monument to those who had made significant donations to the hospital in the early years, including the King of Siam. Unfortunately, enquiries as to the location of the memorial to Health & Medical Services staff killed in the Second World War drew a blank from the hospital officials acting as our guides. The unveiling of a commemorative plaque had been reported in The Straits Times on 2nd October, 1948.\r\n\r\nOther sites of interest which we were shown were the Nurses’ Mess built in the early 1930s and the nearby Matrons’ Residence, a beautiful and distinctive structure of older vintage in excellent condition. The latter deserves to be conserved although both are reportedly destined for replacement.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n\r\nconceptionThe September site visit, delayed on account of Ramadan and the Malaysia Day holidays, took place on Sunday, 19th September at the Church of Immaculate Conception on Burmah Road in Pulau Tikus. 45 PHT members and friends took part. The church was founded by Portuguese Eurasians who settled in Penang to escape persecution in Phuket. They were latecomers -- an earlier wave of Catholic immigrants arrived in Penang from Kedah in 1786 with Captain Francis Light and founded the Church of the Assumption on Farquhar Street. The Eurasian Catholic community in Phuket, although dwindling in numbers, remained in Phuket until the Phya Tak Massacre of 1810, which forced them to leave.\r\n\r\nThe Eurasians, or Serani (a Malay-language corruption of Nazarene, a reference to Jesus of Nazareth) as they were locally called, adopted local customs such as speaking Malay, and lived in kampong houses, similar to those in the Portuguese settlement in Malacca. There was a sizable Eurasian community in the Pulau Tikus area of Kelawai Road until after Independence, so much so that the area was called Kampong Serani, and local road names such as Leandro’s Lane still bear their imprint.\r\n\r\nThe present building of the Church of Immaculate Conception was erected in 1899, and was last renovated in the 1970s. With the moving away of the Eurasian community in recent years the congregation of the church has become predominantly Chinese.\r\n\r\nPHT members were briefed on the history of the church and the Eurasian community by Dr. Anthony Sibert, an authority on the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Penang. Dr. Sibert is author of Pulo Ticus 1810-1994: Mission Accomplished, a book soon to be published. He showed us the small museum housed in the northeast corner of the church and explained the many artifacts, documents and memorabilia displayed there. Members of the Immaculate Conception congregation are very proud of the fact that one of their priests was the only parish priest in Malaysia to be canonized (not counting St Francis Xavier). Jacques Honoré Chastan was a Roman Catholic missionary born in France. He taught at the College General in Penang 1828-1830 and served as the fourth parish priest of the Church of the Immaculate Conception 1830-1833. From Penang Father Chastan went on to carry out missionary work in China and Korea.  The Korean authorities became alarmed at the rate at which Koreans were converting to Catholicism and Father Chastan and his colleagues were arrested and martyred in 1839. Father Chastan was beatified by Pope Pius XI in 1925 and canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1984. A monument to St. Chastan was recently erected in the southwest corner of the church grounds facing Burma Road.\r\n\r\nBy Leslie A.K. James\r\n\r\n

The Permanent Home of the Penang Heritage Trust


- 26 Church Street, George Town -\r\n\r\noffice1After many years of struggle, together with the effort and help of many individuals and organisations, and after many months of painstaking restoration work, PHT is delighted to have a permanent home.\r\n\r\nThe official opening ceremony of 26 Church Street took place at 10.00am, on Sunday, 25 June 2006. It was officiated by the Deputy Minister of Arts, Culture & Heritage, YB Dato\' Wong Kam Hoong, and witnessed by a distinguished list of invited guests.\r\n\r\n26 Church Street is believed to have been constructed more than 140 years ago around the 1860\'s. It housed an early-merchantile establishment in the island port settlement, and is especially important as an example of a very early shop house prototype.\r\n

The purchase and fit-out of this historic mid-19th Century vernacular shop-house, as a permanent home for the Penang Heritage Trust was achieved through the fund-raising efforts of its members and friends and generous donations from the Penang State Government, the Malaysian Ministry of Tourism, the Malaysian Ministry of Culture, Arts & Heritage and a supportive corporate sector.office2

\r\ngeorge1As one of the heritage NGOs in Penang, we welcome, encourage and appreciate private restorations effort at the World Heritage Site. There had been many wonderful efforts from private sectors to restore the heritage buildings over the years. After the listing, we believed that there are more and more applications on restoration/ renovation.  However, the Penang Heritage Trust is very concerned about the lack of management and monitoring of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.\r\n\r\nWe were informed that the following project has obtained permission from MPPP for its restoration project, but we are also worrying about the lack of monitoring of the project. Please refer to the images that showed the its condition in 1998 and current situation.\r\n\r\nThe fear is that in not following our own guidelines, we are not managing the site well, and in not managing the site well we are endangering the WH listing.george2\r\n\r\nAccording to the conservation principle which has been made as a practice of many conservation architects in George Town, if the building needs to be altered too much for the sake of the new use - the new use is wrong. And whatever we do if it is different from the original - it must be reversible.\r\n\r\nIt is utterly heart breaking to witness the gradual destruction of our heritage.', 'George Town World Heritage Site Management', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '235-revision-2', '', '', '2013-02-17 18:19:01', '2013-02-17 10:19:01', '', 235, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=550', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (559, 1, '2013-02-23 16:16:44', '2013-02-23 08:16:44', '

Lee Rubber Factory, October 2011

rubber\r\n\r\nPAYA TERUBONG, PENANG - The last remaining rubber factory on the island, the Lee Rubber Co Pte Ltd in Paya Terubong, is due to close down early in 2012, after operating for 50 years. A large group of PHT members were given a rare chance on 2 October of a guided tour through the production plant, together with a fascinating illustrated presentation on the A-to-Z of the rubber business by Mr Ooi Boon Chye, the Lee Rubber Group Quality Assurance Manager of 43 years’ service.\r\nThe factory is closing due to Company plans to consolidate production in the Company’s several other mainland factories, situated closer to sources of raw rubber material. Raw rubber is no longer produced in commercial quantities on Penang Island and the raw material for the Penang factory is now being transported in entirely from sources outside the island.\r\n\r\nLocated in the Paya Terubong Valley, the factory with its blue roof can be seen to the left (east) side of the road as you travel south up the valley, just below the high-rise clusters at the top end of the valley. The factory was originally built in 1954-5 by another rubber company and was acquired in 1970, being then the largest rubber factory in Penang, by Lee Rubber which moved here from Lee’s earlier Penang factory located in Ghaut Lebuh Noordin, Georgetown.\r\n\r\nThe founder of Lee Rubber Company was the Singaporean entrepreneur and philanthropist Lee Kong Chiang (1893-1967), who built his first rubber factory in Muar, Johor in 1927. His company grew rapidly into a multi-million dollar rubber business and expanded extensively into pineapple plantations and canning. The well-known Lee Rubber building in Art deco style in central KL, close to the old central market, dates from the early days of the business in the 1930s .\r\n\r\nLee Rubber subsequently expanded into further sectors, notably banking (OCBC Bank) and real estate development, and the Lee Rubber Group’s portfolio today also includes palm oil production, edible oil products and biscuit production. In rubber, Lee Rubber Company remains a processor and does not own or operate rubber plantations itself.\r\nrubber2\r\nDuring the growth of the rubber business Lee Rubber established production plants in a number of locations in peninsular Malaya and in Indonesia. Today, Lee Rubber accounts for a significant portion of the entire Malaysia rubber output. The Group remains incorporated in Singapore and under the control of the founding family.\r\n\r\nPHT is extremely thankful to My Ooi Boon Chye for his presentation, as well as to Mr Huang Thiay Sherng, the Group General Manager for Rubber, who welcomed the PHT visitors and Mr Chew Chee Beng, the Lee Rubber Penang Branch Manager, who led the factory tour. The refreshments provided by the Company at the end of the visit, including samples of the Company’s food products, were much appreciated.\r\n\r\nA vast range of interesting points about rubber were laid out by Mr Ooi Boon Chy during his illustrated briefing. A few of these are given below.\r\n\r\nRubber Trees\r\n\r\nYou can recognise a rubber tree (hevea brasiliensis) by its distinctive clusters of three long leaves at the end of each branch (hanging downwards like an umbrella). The rubber tree originates from the Amazon region of Brazil and is one of several tree families which produce a white latex-like sap. and the first recorded rubber tree was planted here in 1877. Once mature (which takes a minimum of 5 years, a rubber tree is economically good for 10-20 years, thereafter declining and becoming uneconomic – although the trees may well be able to survive for as long as 100 years or more. Tree life is very much affected by the quality of tapping and the care taken in the progressive removal of sections of the tree’s outer bark.\r\n\r\nUses of rubber\r\n\r\nIt is believed that Christopher Columbus first brought rubber to Europe in the 1490s after seeing local inhabitants, during his travels in the Americas, playing a game with bouncing balls. However, no great uses for rubber were developed until the early 19th century after Charles Goodyear discovered the vulcanization process in 1839 (heat-treating rubber with sulphur), which renders the rubber unaffected by changes in temperature. The rapidly developing road transportation sector (tyres, inner tubes, automotive belts) subsequently became and remains the principal factor driving the demand for natural rubber. Transportation today consumes 70% of the world’s output of natural rubber and the demand from this sector looks set to expand steadily. Even with the evolution of tyre specifications to include chemical, textile and metallic ingredients, natural rubber today still accounts for 17% by weight of the typical car radial tyre and 34% of the typical truck radial tyre.\r\n\r\nRubber tree tappingrubber3\r\n\r\nRubber trees have to be tapped diagonally downwards from left to right and not right to left, in order to cut the latex-bearing veins at the optimum angle to maximise extraction of the raw latex. Tapping is very skilled work, given the objectives of maximising the capture of latex and at the same time ensuring long productive life for the tree. It has not so far proven possible to mechanise this process on any scale (although hand-held electric tapping cutter tools have been tried) and it therefore continues to depend on human skill.\r\n\r\nProduction process\r\n\r\nRubber in its raw latex form is usually received at the factory by truck in large bulk container loads, with the rubber in ‘cup-lump’ form – naturally coagulated into small lumps – seen here in the receiving bay at Lee Rubber Co. A multi-layer structure of middlemen and dealers is often involved in collecting the raw rubber from farmers and batching it into economic quantities for delivery to the processors, such as Lee Rubber Co. Production comprises a number of mechanical processes, including washing, blending and drying the material, before forming it into standard size slabs or sheets for delivery to the final users, principally the automotive tyre manufacturers.\r\n\r\nProduction issues\r\n\r\nThe production process involves a number of issues and challenges. Principal among those mentioned by Lee Rubber was the contamination (foreign matter and other impurities) found in the cup lumps on arrival at the processing plant. This is a perpetual problem due to lax quality standards in the early stages of the rubber collection process. Other significant issues include the environmental issues of odour and other pollution resulting from the factory process, which can become significant community issues. On the plantation side, far from it being a simple process of planting and growing tress and then harvesting the latex, considerable scientific resources are permanently dedicated to R&D in matters such as tree species and subspecies; development and testing of new and more productive clones; pests, diseases and their containment; and planning and testing of new routines, schedules and techniques for the actual tapping operations.\r\n\r\nRubber plantations vs oil palm plantations\r\n\r\nThe current and forecast long term trends in natural rubber prices (rising) compared with those of palm oil prices (falling) indicate that traditional plantation companies which have actively converted their planted areas from rubber to palm oil may not have made the best strategic choice.\r\n\r\nBy Brian Walling', 'Lee Rubber Factory', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '197-revision-3', '', '', '2013-02-23 16:16:44', '2013-02-23 08:16:44', '', 197, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=559', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (568, 1, '2013-02-18 18:26:04', '2013-02-18 10:26:04', 'Executive Summary Penang Botanic Gardens (Draft Special Area Plan)\r\n

Penang General Hospital, October 2010

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe sprawling complex of Penang General Hospital was the venue for the PHT site visit on Sunday afternoon, 3rd October.\r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_182" align="alignright" width="300"]Nurses’ Mess, circa ,1935 Nurses’ Mess, circa ,1935[/caption]\r\n\r\nSome 31 PHT members and friends assembled at the hospital’s main entrance in Block B. Now known as Hospital Pulau Pinang and previously as Hospital Besar Pulau Pinang, this is the biggest public hospital in Penang and second largest in the country. Lcated along Jalan Residensi, with various departments on the opposite side of the road as well as along Jalan Sepoy Lines, as a public hospital it provides health care and emergency treatment for all illnesses and accidents.\r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_181" align="alignleft" width="300"]Newsletter editor’s mother Nursing Sister D.M. Preston with local children at Penang Hospital Newsletter editor’s mother Nursing Sister D.M. Preston with local children at Penang Hospital[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe Penang General Hospital traces its history to the Pauper’s Hospital started by Mun Ah Foo, a leader of the Ghee Hin Society. The aim of the hospital was to provide healthcare to the poor and needy as well as rehabilitation for opium smokers. After Mun Ah Foo passed on, the Pauper’s Hospital continued to be managed by a committee headed by Governor Archibald Anson, with representations from the Chinese clan associations, guilds and other pillars of 19th century society. During this period, the Leper Hospital was relocated to Pulau Jerejak, off the southeast coast of Penang, where it remained until the mid-20th century.\r\n\r\nIn the hospital grounds we viewed the monument to those who had made significant donations to the hospital in the early years, including the King of Siam. Unfortunately, enquiries as to the location of the memorial to Health & Medical Services staff killed in the Second World War drew a blank from the hospital officials acting as our guides. The unveiling of a commemorative plaque had been reported in The Straits Times on 2nd October, 1948.\r\n\r\nOther sites of interest which we were shown were the Nurses’ Mess built in the early 1930s and the nearby Matrons’ Residence, a beautiful and distinctive structure of older vintage in excellent condition. The latter deserves to be conserved although both are reportedly destined for replacement.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nSpeech by Dr. Lim Mah Hui\r\n\r\nAt the Full Council Meeting of MPPP, 24th February 2012\r\n\r\nIn the past 12 months, we have painfully witnessed the demolition of several historic buildings, some illegally. The latest victim is a mansion at 177 Jalan Macalister, opposite Loh Guan Lye Specialist Centre.\r\n\r\nFirst, I would like to request the Council to provide data on all the historically, architecturally and/or culturally significant buildings that have been demolished last year and this year, or for which demolition was approved since 2008.\r\n\r\nbrook2Let me mention a few of these buildings that were torn down. The beautiful mansion of Khaw Bian Cheng (son of Khaw Sim Bee) at Pykett Avenue, two historic bungalows on Burma Lane, one of them once occupied by a former prime minister of Thailand, Phraya Manopakorn Nititada (1884-1948) and two bungalows along Brooks Road. Khaw Bian Cheng’s mansion was torn down without permit.  In the case of the Burma Lane and Brooks Road residences, two of three buildings in each location were torn down and only one building in each location was left standing. This is not preservation. This is architectural and historical mutilation. It is like cutting off one limb and preserving the other limb.\r\n\r\nPrime Minister Phraya Mano sought refuge in Penang island when the military launched a coup in Thailand in 1932.  He lived in Penang for several years and passed away here 1948. Mano Road in Pulau Tikus is named after him. In many ways, his history is similar to that of Dr. Sun Yet Sun, who also took refuge in Penang during his struggle for Chinese independence. We are fortunate to maintain the heritage and history of Dr Sun in terms of a museum and the house where he spoke and launched his fund raising campaign. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for celebrating the history of Prime Minister Phraya Mano in Penang. The houses in which he once stayed have been demolished and an important part of the history of the Thai Malaysians in Penang has been destroyed in the pursuit of profit but under the rationale of “development”.\r\n\r\nThe present attitude is that only houses in the heritage zone, or those that are designated heritage, are protected. We need to take a more holistic view of heritage. One reason Penang was awarded the world heritage status is because of the large stock of pre-war houses in the island. It is myopic to only preserve the buildings in the core heritage zone and wantonly destroy important buildings in the buffer zones and other parts of the city. Tourists come to Penang to experience the whole city, not just the heritage zone.\r\n\r\nMany Japanese and European visitors have commented to me their disappointment at the demolition of beautiful buildings. The building of 30 stories apartments surrounding a heritage building is not preservation; it is suffocation of heritage sites.\r\n\r\nShow Slides of these houses.\r\n\r\nIt is convenient to justify what is happening in the name of development. As I said last year, we must be more thoughtful. We must ask the following questions:\r\n
    \r\n
  • What kind of development do we want?
    • \r\n
  • Is it development that destroys our heritage and culture?
    • \r\n
  • Is it sustainable development?
    • \r\n
  • Is it green development or development that aggravates climate change?
    • \r\n
  • Who benefits most from this development?
    • \r\n
  • Who loses out in this process?
    • \r\n
  • Is it development for the top 1% or development for the 99%?
    • \r\n
\r\nDevelopment must be located within a vision. What is the vision for Penang’s development?  Perhaps the best way to concretize this vision is to ask ourselves what is the “model” city that best approximates our vision?  I am not suggesting we copy blindly another city. But what I am suggesting is we learn from and choose what are the best characteristics to suit our own situation.\r\n\r\nI have heard from some people and policy makers they would like Penang to model itself after Singapore and Hong Kong, both are densely populated international financial centers in the world. Are they appropriate for Penang? Might it not be more appropriate to look at a combination of Kyoto, a heritage city, and Xiamen, a city with similar characteristics in size, geography (hills and sea), and services (education, high tech and former trading ports) as models.\r\n\r\nLet me say something about Singapore. There is much that can be said for Singapore – it is a clean, safe and a well-planned city with good public transportation system. These are some of the positive lessons we can draw from it. But we can also learn some negative lessons from it, of which I mention two. First, is Singapore in the early days of development, demolished many of its traditional houses and buildings (not necessarily heritage). They have since learned it was a mistake and are now taking pains to preserve them.  We should not repeat the same mistake. Second, in their quest to make Singapore an international city, the government has swung to the extreme so that many of its local citizens are left behind in this “development” process. Despite Singapore having the best public housing schemes in the world, many of its young population feel they cannot afford housing or find good jobs. The dissatisfaction is so great that it cost the PAP government many seats in the Parliament. This could also happen to Penang if more and more middle and lower class citizens feel they are left behind in this frenzy of property development.\r\n\r\nFinally, allow me to suggest that for the moment, we should impose a moratorium on granting approval for demolition of all buildings in the island that were built before 1962 (more than 50 years old) and have architectural value. The present list of protected buildings should be immediately made available, and a technical committee made up of qualified professionals, civil society and input from other relevant bodies be established to study this matter immediately.\r\n\r\nThank you for your attention.\r\n\r\n

\r\nThe Dr. Wu Lien-Teh Trail\r\n\r\nDate: Sunday, 10 March 2013\r\n\r\nMeeting Place: Penang Medical College Lecture Theatre, Jalan Sepoy Lines\r\n\r\nTime:\r\n\r\n· 2.15pm to 3.00pm: Documentary film on Dr Wu Lien-Teh (free admission to public)\r\n\r\n· 3.15pm to 5.30pm: Trail of Dr. Wu Lien-Teh in Penang (registration with PHT required. RM20 for Dr. WLT Society & PHT members, RM35 for non-members)\r\n\r\nwuBorn in Penang on 10th of March 1879, Dr. Wu Lien-Teh had his early education at Penang Free School and became the first medical student from Malaya to study at University of Cambridge on Queen’s scholarship and was also the first ethnic Chinese nominated to receive a Nobel Prize in Medicine. He was vocal in the social issues of the time, founded the Anti-Opium Association in Penang and advocated cutting of the Manchu hair queue among the Malayan Chinese. In the winter of 1910, Dr. Wu was invited to Harbin in northeast China to investigate a plague pandemic which claimed more than 60,000 lives. His swift action to isolate infected victims and compulsory using of face-masks saved millions and he went on to introduce major medical reforms in China for the next two decades.\r\n\r\nIn 1937, Dr. Wu moved back to Malaya where he worked as a General Practitioner in Ipoh. Dr. Wu tirelessly collected donations to start the Perak Library in Ipoh and he was known to give free consultation and treatment to the poor. He died in Penang on 21st January 1960, aged 81. A road named after Dr. Wu can be found in Ipoh Garden South. In Penang, Taman Wu Lien Teh is located near the Penang Free School.\r\n\r\nDr. Wu Lien-Teh is regarded as the first person to modernise China’s medical services and medical education. University departments and hospital buildings in Harbin and Beijing are named after him and a museum dedicated to Dr. Wu with his bronze bust constantly reminds the people his great contributions in promoting public health, preventive medicine and medical education.\r\n\r\nThis commemorative event is a prelude to the “International Symposium on Dr. Wu Lien-Teh and Public Health” scheduled to be held in Penang next year.\r\n\r\nFee & Bus Fare:\r\n\r\n- For WLT Society & PHT members we collect RM20 (including refreshment & bus fare)\r\n\r\n- For spouses and children of WLT Society & PHT members same as above\r\n\r\n- For relatives and friends of WLT Society & PHT members it is RM35 (including refreshment & bus fare)\r\n\r\nWe would appreciate if you could RSVP to Sheau Fung / Vanessa at info@pht.org.my or Tel: 264 2631 before 5 March 2013.', 'Site Visits', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'site-visits', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:36:08', '2013-02-28 04:36:08', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?page_id=599', 0, 'page', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (600, 1, '2013-02-23 18:37:56', '2013-02-23 10:37:56', '', 'Site Visits', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '599-revision', '', '', '2013-02-23 18:37:56', '2013-02-23 10:37:56', '', 599, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=600', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (601, 1, '2013-02-23 18:42:32', '2013-02-23 10:42:32', '

The Permanent Home of the Penang Heritage Trust

\n- 26 Church Street, George Town -\n\noffice1After many years of struggle, together with the effort and help of many individuals and organisations, and after many months of painstaking restoration work, PHT is delighted to have a permanent home.\n\nThe official opening ceremony of 26 Church Street took place at 10.00am, on Sunday, 25 June 2006. It was officiated by the Deputy Minister of Arts, Culture & Heritage, YB Dato\' Wong Kam Hoong, and witnessed by a distinguished list of invited guests.\n\n26 Church Street is believed to have been constructed more than 140 years ago around the 1860\'s. It housed an early-merchantile establishment in the island port settlement, and is especially important as an example of a very early shop house prototype.\n

The purchase and fit-out of this historic mid-19th Century vernacular shop-house, as a permanent home for the Penang Heritage Trust was achieved through the fund-raising efforts of its members and friends and generous donations from the Penang State Government, the Malaysian Ministry of Tourism, the Malaysian Ministry of Culture, Arts & Heritage and a supportive corporate sector.office2

Penang and Asia\'s Migrant HistoryPenang Story Lectures 16 December 2012
Between 1840 and 1940, close to 50 million people moved across Asia\'s frontiers: most of them were young men from southern China and eastern India who moved to and from Southeast Asia. They travelled under varying degrees of freedom and constraint—and, consciously or unknowingly, they transformed Asia\'s future. lectures1
Penang was a central point in many of their journeys. As a result, Penang\'s history provides us with a unique portal into a much larger history of Asian migration. Penang has much to offer historians of Asian migration—a deep archive of print culture and visual sources, a rich material and architectural heritage, a vibrant tradition of local history and heritage activism. The lecture will argue that Penang played a crucial role as a site of intersection between multiple Asian diasporas. It will locate Penang at the crossroads of many social and political worlds: the world of the Bay of Bengal, the Malay world, and the "Asian Mediterranean" stretching from China to Southeast Asia. The final part of the lecture will consider the legacies of this earlier era of migration for Penang\'s position within the Indian Ocean today.

Building bridges across the Bay of Bengal: Tagore and his contemporariesPenang Story Lectures 28 August 2012
A world-historical transformation is under way in the early twenty-first century as Asia recovers the global position it had lost in the late eighteenth century. Yet the idea of Asia and a spirit of Asian universalism were alive and articulated in a variety of registers during the period of European imperial domination. lectures2
One of the most creative exponents of an Asia-sense was Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. This lecture will explore the intellectual, cultural and political conversations across the Bay of Bengal between South and Southeast Asia conducted by Tagore and his contemporaries. Such an exploration may give us fresh insights into the modern intellectual history of Asia as well as theories of universalism, cosmopolitanism and internationalism.

Plague Fighter Dr Wu Lien-teh\r\nA Penang Hero who modernized medicine in ChinaPenang Story Lectures 19 May 2012
Almost one hundred years ago, when Manchuria, North Eastern part of China was invaded by a pneumonic plague, a valiant fighter against the disease emerged in the form of Dr. Wu Lien- teh. Leading a group of inspired medical personnel, Dr. Wu researched countless scientific methods in an attempt to contain the plague. His efforts eventually resulted in a breakthrough in the medical world. lectures3
Besides being recognized in China as the founding father of modern medicine, Dr Wu (1879-1960), was also known in Singapore and Malaya as one of the three editors of the "Straits Chinese Magazine", he was a Public Health Expert, Medical Science historian and pioneer of the Plague Quarantine and Prevention. Born in Penang, Dr Wu was awarded the Queen\'s Scholarship of the Straits Settlement at the age of 17 (1896), making him the first Chinese Medical Science student in Cambridge, England. In 1902, he obtained his Medical Science and Surgical degrees (B.A) from Cambridge University. Dr Wu was later separately awarded the Cambridge University Medical Science doctorate degree, the John Hopkins University Public Health Degree and an honorary doctorate degree by the Japanese Imperial University of Tokyo respectively in 1905, 1924 and 1926.

Thinking & Feeling Gender in the History of Malaysia Penang Story Lectures 20 April 2012
How was \'woman\' represented throughout Malaya\'s and then Malaysia\'s transition from one epochal moment to the other? This lecture will delve into the history of the nation by centralizing \'woman\' as a subject of public imagination and social construction. In the early 20th century, modernity was the threshold which colonized peoples aspired to cross over. lectures4
In Malaya the Modern Girl was imagined across all communities from Straits Chinese to Muslim Malays. However, achieving \'modernity\' was also strewn with battles on how this could be resolved and reconciled without challenging existing religious and cultural traditions. As Malaya moved on to seek decolonization and nationalism the Modern Girl made way for the trope of the Warrior Mother, or womanhood inducted into the perjuangan (struggles) for national liberation.\r\n\r\nPostcolonial, the reinvention of Woman took on the new rights-based identity of the Emancipated Woman or the Liberated Feminist. In the Malaysian case, we also see tropes of the Ibu Mithali (Exemplary Mother) and Isteri Taat (Obedient Wife) competing as symbols of the authentic woman in contemporary society. It is such that gender identity is never constant but subject to cultural, religious and political reinvention and contestation.

Trade between India and South-east Asia in the Early Modern Period Penang Story Lectures 17 September 2011
India had tradionally played a central role in the structure of the Indian Ocean trade in the early modern period. In part, this indeed was a function of the midway location of the subcontinent between west Asia on the one hand and southeast and east Asia on the other. But perhaps even more important was the subcontinent\'s capacity to put on the market a wide lectures5
range of tradable goods at highly competitive prices. These included agricultural goods, both food items such as rice, sugar and oil as well as raw materials such as cotton and indigo.\r\n\r\nWhile the bulk of the trade in these goods was coastal, the high-seas trade component was by no means insignificant. The real strength of the subcontinent, however, lay in the provision of large quantities of manufactured goods, the most important amongst which was textiles of various kinds. While these included high value varieties such as the legendary Dhaka muslins and the Gujarat silk embroideries, the really important component for the Asian market was the coarse cotton varieties manufactures primarily on the Coromandel coast and in Gujarat.\r\n\r\nThere was a large scale demand for these varieties both in the eastern markets of Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand and Burma as well as in the markets of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and East Africa.

Penang and Bombay: Indian Ocean port cities in the nineteenth century Penang Story Lectures 16 September 2011
In the 1960s and \'70s a number of studies treated the port cities of the Indian Ocean before and during the colonial period as comparative and connected societies. Thereafter, historians turned to more intensive local studies of parts of maritime South and Southeast Asia. This lecture returns to the earlier problem by examining Penang lectures6
and Bombay, located at different levels of the commercial system, but vital elements in the emergence of capitalist modernity across Asia.\r\n\r\nThe lecture considers recent scholarly interpretations of \'multiple modernities\' in the light of the belief of the nineteenth-century inhabitants of these cities that they did, in fact, uniquely embody novel forms of commerce, community relations and urban space. It goes on to consider their major resident communities, drawing comparisons between, for instance, the role of the Peranakan Babas in Penang and on the Straits of Malacca and the role of Parsis in Bombay and on the western Indian coast.\r\n\r\nIt also examines the ethos and ideologies of the Muslim commercial communities of the two cities. The lecture then turns to the politics of the Penang and Bombay during the \'long\' nineteenth century.

He was one of the first thinkers of the 20th century to argue for the virtues of cosmopolitan and internationalism.\r\n\r\nIn the talk Dr Saranindranath attempted to accomplish two tasks - first to develop the sense of cosmopolitanism that was at stake in Tagore\'s vision and secondly, to show how this conception was related to Dr Rabindranath Tagore\'s educational philosophy and practice.\r\nIt was in the speaker\'s view that the poet\'s opinions on education and cosmopolitanism steeped in the value of hospitable consciousness are deeply relevant in today\'s world-conditions.\r\n\r\nThe talk was moderated by Universiti Sains Malaysia\'s vice chancellor Professor Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak.

The Bujang ValleyPenang Story Lectures 18 December 2010
This public lecture, the second in a series featuring significant events in the history of Penang and its region, was about the latest discoveries in Sungai Batu in the Bujang Valley. Dubbed "revisiting an old relationship" by The Hindu newspaper, Professor Mohd Mokhtar gave a very interesting lecture with revelations that the lectures9
archeological discoveries at Sg Batu extends the relationship between India and this region to the 1st century A.D. In fact, the Sg Batu site is the earliest Indianized settlement in Southeast Asia. The discoveries of iron-making factories are factual evidence to the Hikayat Mahameru as well as Tamil poems of that same period. Both Think City and co-organizers the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (MBRAS) regarded this discovery as most significant for it lays the basis for the wider theme of Penang and global history.

Sino-Western Penang ResponsesInaugural Penang Story Lecture 20 November 2010
The Inaugural Penang Story Lecture was by Emeritus Professor Wang Gungwu titled "Sino-Western Penang Responses" on 20 November 2010. The Lecture shed light on the Chinese Diaspora in Penang and the role that they played in the region. The first Chinese people settled in Penang before Macartney met Emperor Qianlong.lectures10
The children from these early Chinese immigrants had began to study Western ways long before Sun Yat-sen went to English schools in Hawaii and Hong Kong. When Sun was just a baby, a boy born in Penang named Ku Hung-ming was sent to Britain to pursue his education. Later, Ku passed through Penang and never returned. In the meantime, Sun came to Penang 30 years later and was warmly received by those from whom Ku had turned away. The talk by Prof Wang discussed these early phases of globalisation.\r\n\r\nThe Penang Story inaugural lecture also coincided with the 22Joint Conference of the Sun Yat Sen and Soong Ching Ling Memorials.

PHT-PAPA - An Overview

\nThe Penang Heritage Trust is launching a programme that actively promotes intangible cultural heritage.

In today\'s world, these skills are few and far in between, apprentices need to be sourced and skills need to be transmitted, in order that we may not loose these precious assets. The individuals themselves who are usually old, may be experiencing difficulties with evictions, high rentals, lack of help, difficulties of transportation, cost of materials, vulnerability and a loss of significance. This proposal assumes that the time is right for rendering assistance and building capacity by promoting apprenticeship.Project PAPA 1 (2)\n\nThis project also views promotion, product development and assistance with marketing as integral in achieving sustainability of the skills.\n\nThe goal is to perpetuate & develop traditional skills & techniques, transmit these through a prescribed training system, aid in marketing and strive to generate income so that the skills becomes attractive as a viable life choice career for young people.\n\nIt is planned that as far as possible, these artisans be sited in individual shop-houses within a common area, in the heart of George Town. This would make promotion and marketing in terms of a value added site for visitors, much easier to manage. It is envisaged that accommodation is possible on the upper floors if so required for either artisan or apprentice.

Penang and Asia\'s Migrant HistoryPenang Story Lectures 16 December 2012
Between 1840 and 1940, close to 50 million people moved across Asia\'s frontiers: most of them were young men from southern China and eastern India who moved to and from Southeast Asia. They travelled under varying degrees of freedom and constraint—and, consciously or unknowingly, they transformed Asia\'s future. Penang was a central point in many of their journeys. As a result, Penang\'s history provides us with a unique portal into a much larger history of Asian migration. Penang has much to offer historians of Asian migration—a deep archive of print culture and visual sources, a rich material and architectural heritage, a vibrant tradition of local history and heritage activism. The lecture will argue that Penang played a crucial role as a site of intersection between multiple Asian diasporas. It will locate Penang at the crossroads of many social and political worlds: the world of the Bay of Bengal, the Malay world, and the "Asian Mediterranean" stretching from China to Southeast Asia. The final part of the lecture will consider the legacies of this earlier era of migration for Penang\'s position within the Indian Ocean today. lectures1

Building bridges across the Bay of Bengal:\nTagore and his contemporariesPenang Story Lectures 28 August 2012
A world-historical transformation is under way in the early twenty-first century as Asia recovers the global position it had lost in the late eighteenth century. Yet the idea of Asia and a spirit of Asian universalism were alive and articulated in a variety of registers during the period of European imperial domination. One of the most creative exponents of an Asia-sense was Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. This lecture will explore the intellectual, cultural and political conversations across the Bay of Bengal between South and Southeast Asia conducted by Tagore and his contemporaries. Such an exploration may give us fresh insights into the modern intellectual history of Asia as well as theories of universalism, cosmopolitanism and internationalism. lectures2

Plague Fighter Dr Wu Lien-teh\nA Penang Hero who modernized medicine in ChinaPenang Story Lectures 19 May 2012
Almost one hundred years ago, when Manchuria, North Eastern part of China was invaded by a pneumonic plague, a valiant fighter against the disease emerged in the form of Dr. Wu Lien- teh. Leading a group of inspired medical personnel, Dr. Wu researched countless scientific methods in an attempt to contain the plague. His efforts eventually resulted in a breakthrough in the medical world.\n\nBesides being recognized in China as the founding father of modern medicine, Dr Wu (1879-1960), was also known in Singapore and Malaya as one of the three editors of the "Straits Chinese Magazine", he was a Public Health Expert, Medical Science historian and pioneer of the Plague Quarantine and Prevention. Born in Penang, Dr Wu was awarded the Queen\'s Scholarship of the Straits Settlement at the age of 17 (1896), making him the first Chinese Medical Science student in Cambridge, England. In 1902, he obtained his Medical Science and Surgical degrees (B.A) from Cambridge University. Dr Wu was later separately awarded the Cambridge University Medical Science doctorate degree, the John Hopkins University Public Health Degree and an honorary doctorate degree by the Japanese Imperial University of Tokyo respectively in 1905, 1924 and 1926. lectures3

Thinking & Feeling Gender in the History of Malaysia Penang Story Lectures 20 April 2012
How was \'woman\' represented throughout Malaya\'s and then Malaysia\'s transition from one epochal moment to the other? This lecture will delve into the history of the nation by centralizing \'woman\' as a subject of public imagination and social construction. In the early 20th century, modernity was the threshold which colonized peoples aspired to cross over.\n\nIn Malaya the Modern Girl was imagined across all communities from Straits Chinese to Muslim Malays. However, achieving \'modernity\' was also strewn with battles on how this could be resolved and reconciled without challenging existing religious and cultural traditions. As Malaya moved on to seek decolonization and nationalism the Modern Girl made way for the trope of the Warrior Mother, or womanhood inducted into the perjuangan (struggles) for national liberation.\n\nPostcolonial, the reinvention of Woman took on the new rights-based identity of the Emancipated Woman or the Liberated Feminist. In the Malaysian case, we also see tropes of the Ibu Mithali (Exemplary Mother) and Isteri Taat (Obedient Wife) competing as symbols of the authentic woman in contemporary society. It is such that gender identity is never constant but subject to cultural, religious and political reinvention and contestation. lectures4

Trade between India and South-east Asia in the Early Modern Period Penang Story Lectures 17 September 2011
India had tradionally played a central role in the structure of the Indian Ocean trade in the early modern period. In part, this indeed was a function of the midway location of the subcontinent between west Asia on the one hand and southeast and east Asia on the other. But perhaps even more important was the subcontinent\'s capacity to put on the market a wide range of tradable goods at highly competitive prices. These included agricultural goods, both food items such as rice, sugar and oil as well as raw materials such as cotton and indigo.\n\nWhile the bulk of the trade in these goods was coastal, the high-seas trade component was by no means insignificant. The real strength of the subcontinent, however, lay in the provision of large quantities of manufactured goods, the most important amongst which was textiles of various kinds. While these included high value varieties such as the legendary Dhaka muslins and the Gujarat silk embroideries, the really important component for the Asian market was the coarse cotton varieties manufactures primarily on the Coromandel coast and in Gujarat.\n\nThere was a large scale demand for these varieties both in the eastern markets of Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand and Burma as well as in the markets of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and East Africa. lectures5

Penang and Bombay: Indian Ocean port cities in the nineteenth century Penang Story Lectures 16 September 2011
In the 1960s and \'70s a number of studies treated the port cities of the Indian Ocean before and during the colonial period as comparative and connected societies. Thereafter, historians turned to more intensive local studies of parts of maritime South and Southeast Asia. This lecture returns to the earlier problem by examining Penang and Bombay, located at different levels of the commercial system, but vital elements in the emergence of capitalist modernity across Asia.\n\nThe lecture considers recent scholarly interpretations of \'multiple modernities\' in the light of the belief of the nineteenth-century inhabitants of these cities that they did, in fact, uniquely embody novel forms of commerce, community relations and urban space. It goes on to consider their major resident communities, drawing comparisons between, for instance, the role of the Peranakan Babas in Penang and on the Straits of Malacca and the role of Parsis in Bombay and on the western Indian coast.\n\nIt also examines the ethos and ideologies of the Muslim commercial communities of the two cities. The lecture then turns to the politics of the Penang and Bombay during the \'long\' nineteenth century. lectures6

Rabindranath Tagore and the Cosmopolitan VisionPenang Story Lectures 14 May 2011
The talk by Dr Saranindranath Tagore, Associate Professor and Deputy Head, Philosophy Department at the National University of Singapore, was titled "Rabindranath Tagore and the Cosmopolitan Vision.\n\nThe poet Rabindranath Tagore was a social thinker whose ideas are remarkably relevant to today\'s world. He was one of the first thinkers of the 20th century to argue for the virtues of cosmopolitan and internationalism.\n\nIn the talk Dr Saranindranath attempted to accomplish two tasks - first to develop the sense of cosmopolitanism that was at stake in Tagore\'s vision and secondly, to show how this conception was related to Dr Rabindranath Tagore\'s educational philosophy and practice.\nIt was in the speaker\'s view that the poet\'s opinions on education and cosmopolitanism steeped in the value of hospitable consciousness are deeply relevant in today\'s world-conditions.\n\nThe talk was moderated by Universiti Sains Malaysia\'s vice chancellor Professor Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak. lectures8

The Bujang ValleyPenang Story Lectures 18 December 2010
This public lecture, the second in a series featuring significant events in the history of Penang and its region, was about the latest discoveries in Sungai Batu in the Bujang Valley. Dubbed "revisiting an old relationship" by The Hindu newspaper, Professor Mohd Mokhtar gave a very interesting lecture with revelations that the archeological discoveries at Sg Batu extends the relationship between India and this region to the 1st century A.D. In fact, the Sg Batu site is the earliest Indianized settlement in Southeast Asia. The discoveries of iron-making factories are factual evidence to the Hikayat Mahameru as well as Tamil poems of that same period. Both Think City and co-organizers the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (MBRAS) regarded this discovery as most significant for it lays the basis for the wider theme of Penang and global history. lectures9

Sino-Western Penang ResponsesInaugural Penang Story Lecture 20 November 2010
The Inaugural Penang Story Lecture was by Emeritus Professor Wang Gungwu titled "Sino-Western Penang Responses" on 20 November 2010. The Lecture shed light on the Chinese Diaspora in Penang and the role that they played in the region. The first Chinese people settled in Penang before Macartney met Emperor Qianlong. The children from these early Chinese immigrants had began to study Western ways long before Sun Yat-sen went to English schools in Hawaii and Hong Kong. When Sun was just a baby, a boy born in Penang named Ku Hung-ming was sent to Britain to pursue his education. Later, Ku passed through Penang and never returned. In the meantime, Sun came to Penang 30 years later and was warmly received by those from whom Ku had turned away. The talk by Prof Wang discussed these early phases of globalisation. \n\nThe Penang Story inaugural lecture also coincided with the 22Joint Conference of the Sun Yat Sen and Soong Ching Ling Memorials.\nlectures10

Penang and Bombay: Indian Ocean port cities in the nineteenth century Penang Story Lectures 16 September 2011
In the 1960s and \'70s a number of studies treated the port cities of the Indian Ocean before and during the colonial period as comparative and connected societies. Thereafter, historians turned to more intensive local studies of parts of maritime South and Southeast Asia. This lecture returns to the earlier problem by examining Penang lectures6
and Bombay, located at different levels of the commercial system, but vital elements in the emergence of capitalist modernity across Asia.\n\nThe lecture considers recent scholarly interpretations of \'multiple modernities\' in the light of the belief of the nineteenth-century inhabitants of these cities that they did, in fact, uniquely embody novel forms of commerce, community relations and urban space. It goes on to consider their major resident communities, drawing comparisons between, for instance, the role of the Peranakan Babas in Penang and on the Straits of Malacca and the role of Parsis in Bombay and on the western Indian coast.\n\nIt also examines the ethos and ideologies of the Muslim commercial communities of the two cities. The lecture then turns to the politics of the Penang and Bombay during the \'long\' nineteenth century.

Penang and Asia\'s Migrant HistoryPenang Story Lectures 16 December 2012
Between 1840 and 1940, close to 50 million people moved across Asia\'s frontiers: most of them were young men from southern China and eastern India who moved to and from Southeast Asia. They travelled under varying degrees of freedom and constraint—and, consciously or unknowingly, they transformed Asia\'s future. Penang was a central point in many of their journeys. As a result, Penang\'s history provides us with a unique portal into a much larger history of Asian migration. Penang has much to offer historians of Asian migration—a deep archive of print culture and visual sources, a rich material and architectural heritage, a vibrant tradition of local history and heritage activism. The lecture will argue that Penang played a crucial role as a site of intersection between multiple Asian diasporas. It will locate Penang at the crossroads of many social and political worlds: the world of the Bay of Bengal, the Malay world, and the "Asian Mediterranean" stretching from China to Southeast Asia. The final part of the lecture will consider the legacies of this earlier era of migration for Penang\'s position within the Indian Ocean today. lectures1

Building bridges across the Bay of Bengal:\r\nTagore and his contemporariesPenang Story Lectures 28 August 2012
A world-historical transformation is under way in the early twenty-first century as Asia recovers the global position it had lost in the late eighteenth century. Yet the idea of Asia and a spirit of Asian universalism were alive and articulated in a variety of registers during the period of European imperial domination. One of the most creative exponents of an Asia-sense was Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. This lecture will explore the intellectual, cultural and political conversations across the Bay of Bengal between South and Southeast Asia conducted by Tagore and his contemporaries. Such an exploration may give us fresh insights into the modern intellectual history of Asia as well as theories of universalism, cosmopolitanism and internationalism. lectures2

Plague Fighter Dr Wu Lien-teh\r\nA Penang Hero who modernized medicine in ChinaPenang Story Lectures 19 May 2012
Almost one hundred years ago, when Manchuria, North Eastern part of China was invaded by a pneumonic plague, a valiant fighter against the disease emerged in the form of Dr. Wu Lien- teh. Leading a group of inspired medical personnel, Dr. Wu researched countless scientific methods in an attempt to contain the plague. His efforts eventually resulted in a breakthrough in the medical world.\r\n\r\nBesides being recognized in China as the founding father of modern medicine, Dr Wu (1879-1960), was also known in Singapore and Malaya as one of the three editors of the "Straits Chinese Magazine", he was a Public Health Expert, Medical Science historian and pioneer of the Plague Quarantine and Prevention. Born in Penang, Dr Wu was awarded the Queen\'s Scholarship of the Straits Settlement at the age of 17 (1896), making him the first Chinese Medical Science student in Cambridge, England. In 1902, he obtained his Medical Science and Surgical degrees (B.A) from Cambridge University. Dr Wu was later separately awarded the Cambridge University Medical Science doctorate degree, the John Hopkins University Public Health Degree and an honorary doctorate degree by the Japanese Imperial University of Tokyo respectively in 1905, 1924 and 1926. lectures3

Thinking & Feeling Gender in the History of Malaysia Penang Story Lectures 20 April 2012
How was \'woman\' represented throughout Malaya\'s and then Malaysia\'s transition from one epochal moment to the other? This lecture will delve into the history of the nation by centralizing \'woman\' as a subject of public imagination and social construction. In the early 20th century, modernity was the threshold which colonized peoples aspired to cross over.\r\n\r\nIn Malaya the Modern Girl was imagined across all communities from Straits Chinese to Muslim Malays. However, achieving \'modernity\' was also strewn with battles on how this could be resolved and reconciled without challenging existing religious and cultural traditions. As Malaya moved on to seek decolonization and nationalism the Modern Girl made way for the trope of the Warrior Mother, or womanhood inducted into the perjuangan (struggles) for national liberation.\r\n\r\nPostcolonial, the reinvention of Woman took on the new rights-based identity of the Emancipated Woman or the Liberated Feminist. In the Malaysian case, we also see tropes of the Ibu Mithali (Exemplary Mother) and Isteri Taat (Obedient Wife) competing as symbols of the authentic woman in contemporary society. It is such that gender identity is never constant but subject to cultural, religious and political reinvention and contestation. lectures4

Trade between India and South-east Asia in the Early Modern Period Penang Story Lectures 17 September 2011
India had tradionally played a central role in the structure of the Indian Ocean trade in the early modern period. In part, this indeed was a function of the midway location of the subcontinent between west Asia on the one hand and southeast and east Asia on the other. But perhaps even more important was the subcontinent\'s capacity to put on the market a wide range of tradable goods at highly competitive prices. These included agricultural goods, both food items such as rice, sugar and oil as well as raw materials such as cotton and indigo.\r\n\r\nWhile the bulk of the trade in these goods was coastal, the high-seas trade component was by no means insignificant. The real strength of the subcontinent, however, lay in the provision of large quantities of manufactured goods, the most important amongst which was textiles of various kinds. While these included high value varieties such as the legendary Dhaka muslins and the Gujarat silk embroideries, the really important component for the Asian market was the coarse cotton varieties manufactures primarily on the Coromandel coast and in Gujarat.\r\n\r\nThere was a large scale demand for these varieties both in the eastern markets of Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand and Burma as well as in the markets of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and East Africa. lectures5

Penang and Asia\'s Migrant HistoryPenang Story Lectures 16 December 2012
Between 1840 and 1940, close to 50 million people moved across Asia\'s frontiers: most of them were young men from southern China and eastern India who moved to and from Southeast Asia. They travelled under varying degrees of freedom and constraint—and, consciously or unknowingly, they transformed Asia\'s future. Penang was a central point in many of their journeys. As a result, Penang\'s history provides us with a unique portal into a much larger history of Asian migration. Penang has much to offer historians of Asian migration—a deep archive of print culture and visual sources, a rich material and architectural heritage, a vibrant tradition of local history and heritage activism. The lecture will argue that Penang played a crucial role as a site of intersection between multiple Asian diasporas. It will locate Penang at the crossroads of many social and political worlds: the world of the Bay of Bengal, the Malay world, and the "Asian Mediterranean" stretching from China to Southeast Asia. The final part of the lecture will consider the legacies of this earlier era of migration for Penang\'s position within the Indian Ocean today. lectures1

Building bridges across the Bay of Bengal: Tagore and his contemporariesPenang Story Lectures 28 August 2012
A world-historical transformation is under way in the early twenty-first century as Asia recovers the global position it had lost in the late eighteenth century. Yet the idea of Asia and a spirit of Asian universalism were alive and articulated in a variety of registers during the period of European imperial domination. One of the most creative exponents of an Asia-sense was Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. This lecture will explore the intellectual, cultural and political conversations across the Bay of Bengal between South and Southeast Asia conducted by Tagore and his contemporaries. Such an exploration may give us fresh insights into the modern intellectual history of Asia as well as theories of universalism, cosmopolitanism and internationalism. lectures2

Plague Fighter Dr Wu Lien-teh\r\nA Penang Hero who modernized medicine in ChinaPenang Story Lectures 19 May 2012
Almost one hundred years ago, when Manchuria, North Eastern part of China was invaded by a pneumonic plague, a valiant fighter against the disease emerged in the form of Dr. Wu Lien- teh. Leading a group of inspired medical personnel, Dr. Wu researched countless scientific methods in an attempt to contain the plague. His efforts eventually resulted in a breakthrough in the medical world.\r\n\r\nBesides being recognized in China as the founding father of modern medicine, Dr Wu (1879-1960), was also known in Singapore and Malaya as one of the three editors of the "Straits Chinese Magazine", he was a Public Health Expert, Medical Science historian and pioneer of the Plague Quarantine and Prevention. Born in Penang, Dr Wu was awarded the Queen\'s Scholarship of the Straits Settlement at the age of 17 (1896), making him the first Chinese Medical Science student in Cambridge, England. In 1902, he obtained his Medical Science and Surgical degrees (B.A) from Cambridge University. Dr Wu was later separately awarded the Cambridge University Medical Science doctorate degree, the John Hopkins University Public Health Degree and an honorary doctorate degree by the Japanese Imperial University of Tokyo respectively in 1905, 1924 and 1926. lectures3

Thinking & Feeling Gender in the History of Malaysia Penang Story Lectures 20 April 2012
How was \'woman\' represented throughout Malaya\'s and then Malaysia\'s transition from one epochal moment to the other? This lecture will delve into the history of the nation by centralizing \'woman\' as a subject of public imagination and social construction. In the early 20th century, modernity was the threshold which colonized peoples aspired to cross over.\r\n\r\nIn Malaya the Modern Girl was imagined across all communities from Straits Chinese to Muslim Malays. However, achieving \'modernity\' was also strewn with battles on how this could be resolved and reconciled without challenging existing religious and cultural traditions. As Malaya moved on to seek decolonization and nationalism the Modern Girl made way for the trope of the Warrior Mother, or womanhood inducted into the perjuangan (struggles) for national liberation.\r\n\r\nPostcolonial, the reinvention of Woman took on the new rights-based identity of the Emancipated Woman or the Liberated Feminist. In the Malaysian case, we also see tropes of the Ibu Mithali (Exemplary Mother) and Isteri Taat (Obedient Wife) competing as symbols of the authentic woman in contemporary society. It is such that gender identity is never constant but subject to cultural, religious and political reinvention and contestation. lectures4

Trade between India and South-east Asia in the Early Modern Period Penang Story Lectures 17 September 2011
India had tradionally played a central role in the structure of the Indian Ocean trade in the early modern period. In part, this indeed was a function of the midway location of the subcontinent between west Asia on the one hand and southeast and east Asia on the other. But perhaps even more important was the subcontinent\'s capacity to put on the market a wide range of tradable goods at highly competitive prices. These included agricultural goods, both food items such as rice, sugar and oil as well as raw materials such as cotton and indigo.\r\n\r\nWhile the bulk of the trade in these goods was coastal, the high-seas trade component was by no means insignificant. The real strength of the subcontinent, however, lay in the provision of large quantities of manufactured goods, the most important amongst which was textiles of various kinds. While these included high value varieties such as the legendary Dhaka muslins and the Gujarat silk embroideries, the really important component for the Asian market was the coarse cotton varieties manufactures primarily on the Coromandel coast and in Gujarat.\r\n\r\nThere was a large scale demand for these varieties both in the eastern markets of Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand and Burma as well as in the markets of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and East Africa. lectures5

Penang and Bombay: Indian Ocean port cities in the nineteenth century Penang Story Lectures 16 September 2011
In the 1960s and \'70s a number of studies treated the port cities of the Indian Ocean before and during the colonial period as comparative and connected societies. Thereafter, historians turned to more intensive local studies of parts of maritime South and Southeast Asia. This lecture returns to the earlier problem by examining Penang and Bombay, located at different levels of the commercial system, but vital elements in the emergence of capitalist modernity across Asia.\r\n\r\nThe lecture considers recent scholarly interpretations of \'multiple modernities\' in the light of the belief of the nineteenth-century inhabitants of these cities that they did, in fact, uniquely embody novel forms of commerce, community relations and urban space. It goes on to consider their major resident communities, drawing comparisons between, for instance, the role of the Peranakan Babas in Penang and on the Straits of Malacca and the role of Parsis in Bombay and on the western Indian coast.\r\n\r\nIt also examines the ethos and ideologies of the Muslim commercial communities of the two cities. The lecture then turns to the politics of the Penang and Bombay during the \'long\' nineteenth century. lectures6

Rabindranath Tagore and the Cosmopolitan VisionPenang Story Lectures 14 May 2011
The talk by Dr Saranindranath Tagore, Associate Professor and Deputy Head, Philosophy Department at the National University of Singapore, was titled "Rabindranath Tagore and the Cosmopolitan Vision.\r\n\r\nThe poet Rabindranath Tagore was a social thinker whose ideas are remarkably relevant to today\'s world. He was one of the first thinkers of the 20th century to argue for the virtues of cosmopolitan and internationalism.\r\n\r\nIn the talk Dr Saranindranath attempted to accomplish two tasks - first to develop the sense of cosmopolitanism that was at stake in Tagore\'s vision and secondly, to show how this conception was related to Dr Rabindranath Tagore\'s educational philosophy and practice.\r\nIt was in the speaker\'s view that the poet\'s opinions on education and cosmopolitanism steeped in the value of hospitable consciousness are deeply relevant in today\'s world-conditions.\r\n\r\nThe talk was moderated by Universiti Sains Malaysia\'s vice chancellor Professor Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak. lectures8

The Bujang ValleyPenang Story Lectures 18 December 2010
This public lecture, the second in a series featuring significant events in the history of Penang and its region, was about the latest discoveries in Sungai Batu in the Bujang Valley. Dubbed "revisiting an old relationship" by The Hindu newspaper, Professor Mohd Mokhtar gave a very interesting lecture with revelations that the archeological discoveries at Sg Batu extends the relationship between India and this region to the 1st century A.D. In fact, the Sg Batu site is the earliest Indianized settlement in Southeast Asia. The discoveries of iron-making factories are factual evidence to the Hikayat Mahameru as well as Tamil poems of that same period. Both Think City and co-organizers the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (MBRAS) regarded this discovery as most significant for it lays the basis for the wider theme of Penang and global history. lectures9

Sino-Western Penang ResponsesInaugural Penang Story Lecture 20 November 2010
The Inaugural Penang Story Lecture was by Emeritus Professor Wang Gungwu titled "Sino-Western Penang Responses" on 20 November 2010. The Lecture shed light on the Chinese Diaspora in Penang and the role that they played in the region. The first Chinese people settled in Penang before Macartney met Emperor Qianlong. The children from these early Chinese immigrants had began to study Western ways long before Sun Yat-sen went to English schools in Hawaii and Hong Kong. When Sun was just a baby, a boy born in Penang named Ku Hung-ming was sent to Britain to pursue his education. Later, Ku passed through Penang and never returned. In the meantime, Sun came to Penang 30 years later and was warmly received by those from whom Ku had turned away. The talk by Prof Wang discussed these early phases of globalisation. \r\n\r\nThe Penang Story inaugural lecture also coincided with the 22Joint Conference of the Sun Yat Sen and Soong Ching Ling Memorials.\r\nlectures10

This lecture will delve into the history of the nation by centralizing \'woman\' as a subject of public imagination and social construction. In the early 20th century, modernity was the threshold which colonized peoples aspired to cross over.\r\n\r\nIn Malaya the Modern Girl was imagined across all communities from Straits Chinese to Muslim Malays. However, achieving \'modernity\' was also strewn with battles on how this could be resolved and reconciled without challenging existing religious and cultural traditions. As Malaya moved on to seek decolonization and nationalism the Modern Girl made way for the trope of the Warrior Mother, or womanhood inducted into the perjuangan (struggles) for national liberation.\r\n\r\nPostcolonial, the reinvention of Woman took on the new rights-based identity of the Emancipated Woman or the Liberated Feminist. In the Malaysian case, we also see tropes of the Ibu Mithali (Exemplary Mother) and Isteri Taat (Obedient Wife) competing as symbols of the authentic woman in contemporary society. It is such that gender identity is never constant but subject to cultural, religious and political reinvention and contestation. lectures4

Trade between India and South-east Asia in the Early Modern Period Penang Story Lectures 17 September 2011
India had tradionally played a central role in the structure of the Indian Ocean trade in the early modern period. In part, this indeed was a function of the midway location of the subcontinent between west Asia on the one hand and southeast and east Asia on the other. But perhaps even more important was the subcontinent\'s capacity to put on the market a wide range of tradable goods at highly competitive prices. These included agricultural goods, both food items such as rice, sugar and oil as well as raw materials such as cotton and indigo.\r\n\r\nWhile the bulk of the trade in these goods was coastal, the high-seas trade component was by no means insignificant. The real strength of the subcontinent, however, lay in the provision of large quantities of manufactured goods, the most important amongst which was textiles of various kinds. While these included high value varieties such as the legendary Dhaka muslins and the Gujarat silk embroideries, the really important component for the Asian market was the coarse cotton varieties manufactures primarily on the Coromandel coast and in Gujarat.\r\n\r\nThere was a large scale demand for these varieties both in the eastern markets of Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand and Burma as well as in the markets of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and East Africa. lectures5

Penang and Bombay: Indian Ocean port cities in the nineteenth century Penang Story Lectures 16 September 2011
In the 1960s and \'70s a number of studies treated the port cities of the Indian Ocean before and during the colonial period as comparative and connected societies. Thereafter, historians turned to more intensive local studies of parts of maritime South and Southeast Asia. This lecture returns to the earlier problem by examining Penang and Bombay, located at different levels of the commercial system, but vital elements in the emergence of capitalist modernity across Asia.\r\n\r\nThe lecture considers recent scholarly interpretations of \'multiple modernities\' in the light of the belief of the nineteenth-century inhabitants of these cities that they did, in fact, uniquely embody novel forms of commerce, community relations and urban space. It goes on to consider their major resident communities, drawing comparisons between, for instance, the role of the Peranakan Babas in Penang and on the Straits of Malacca and the role of Parsis in Bombay and on the western Indian coast.\r\n\r\nIt also examines the ethos and ideologies of the Muslim commercial communities of the two cities. The lecture then turns to the politics of the Penang and Bombay during the \'long\' nineteenth century. lectures6

The Bujang ValleyPenang Story Lectures 18 December 2010
This public lecture, the second in a series featuring significant events in the history of Penang and its region, was about the latest discoveries in Sungai Batu in the Bujang Valley. Dubbed "revisiting an old relationship" by The Hindu newspaper, Professor Mohd Mokhtar gave a very interesting lecture with revelations that the archeological discoveries at Sg Batu extends the relationship between India and this region to the 1st century A.D.

The discoveries of iron-making factories are factual evidence to the Hikayat Mahameru as well as Tamil poems of that same period. Both Think City and co-organizers the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (MBRAS) regarded this discovery as most significant for it lays the basis for the wider theme of Penang and global history. lectures9

Sino-Western Penang ResponsesInaugural Penang Story Lecture 20 November 2010
The Inaugural Penang Story Lecture was by Emeritus Professor Wang Gungwu titled "Sino-Western Penang Responses" on 20 November 2010. The Lecture shed light on the Chinese Diaspora in Penang and the role that they played in the region. The first Chinese people settled in Penang before Macartney met Emperor Qianlong. The children from these early Chinese immigrants had began to study Western ways long before Sun Yat-sen went to English schools in Hawaii and Hong Kong. When Sun was just a baby, a boy born in Penang named Ku Hung-ming was sent to Britain to pursue his education. Later, Ku passed through Penang and never returned. In the meantime, Sun came to Penang 30 years later and was warmly received by those from whom Ku had turned away. The talk by Prof Wang discussed these early phases of globalisation. \r\n\r\nThe Penang Story inaugural lecture also coincided with the 22Joint Conference of the Sun Yat Sen and Soong Ching Ling Memorials.\r\nlectures10

Penang and Asia\'s Migrant HistoryPenang Story Lectures 16 December 2012
Between 1840 and 1940, close to 50 million people moved across Asia\'s frontiers: most of them were young men from southern China and eastern India who moved to and from Southeast Asia. They travelled under varying degrees of freedom and constraint—and, consciously or unknowingly, they transformed Asia\'s future. lectures1
Penang was a central point in many of their journeys. As a result, Penang\'s history provides us with a unique portal into a much larger history of Asian migration. Penang has much to offer historians of Asian migration—a deep archive of print culture and visual sources, a rich material and architectural heritage, a vibrant tradition of local history and heritage activism. The lecture will argue that Penang played a crucial role as a site of intersection between multiple Asian diasporas. It will locate Penang at the crossroads of many social and political worlds: the world of the Bay of Bengal, the Malay world, and the "Asian Mediterranean" stretching from China to Southeast Asia. The final part of the lecture will consider the legacies of this earlier era of migration for Penang\'s position within the Indian Ocean today.

Building bridges across the Bay of Bengal: Tagore and his contemporariesPenang Story Lectures 28 August 2012
A world-historical transformation is under way in the early twenty-first century as Asia recovers the global position it had lost in the late eighteenth century. Yet the idea of Asia and a spirit of Asian universalism were alive and articulated in a variety of registers during the period of European imperial domination. One of the most creative exponents of an Asia-sense was Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. This lecture will explore the intellectual, cultural and political conversations across the Bay of Bengal between South and Southeast Asia conducted by Tagore and his contemporaries. Such an exploration may give us fresh insights into the modern intellectual history of Asia as well as theories of universalism, cosmopolitanism and internationalism. lectures2

Plague Fighter Dr Wu Lien-teh\r\nA Penang Hero who modernized medicine in ChinaPenang Story Lectures 19 May 2012
Almost one hundred years ago, when Manchuria, North Eastern part of China was invaded by a pneumonic plague, a valiant fighter against the disease emerged in the form of Dr. Wu Lien- teh. Leading a group of inspired medical personnel, Dr. Wu researched countless scientific methods in an attempt to contain the plague. His efforts eventually resulted in a breakthrough in the medical world.\r\n\r\nBesides being recognized in China as the founding father of modern medicine, Dr Wu (1879-1960), was also known in Singapore and Malaya as one of the three editors of the "Straits Chinese Magazine", he was a Public Health Expert, Medical Science historian and pioneer of the Plague Quarantine and Prevention. Born in Penang, Dr Wu was awarded the Queen\'s Scholarship of the Straits Settlement at the age of 17 (1896), making him the first Chinese Medical Science student in Cambridge, England. In 1902, he obtained his Medical Science and Surgical degrees (B.A) from Cambridge University. Dr Wu was later separately awarded the Cambridge University Medical Science doctorate degree, the John Hopkins University Public Health Degree and an honorary doctorate degree by the Japanese Imperial University of Tokyo respectively in 1905, 1924 and 1926. lectures3

The Inaugural Penang Story Lecture was by Emeritus Professor Wang Gungwu titled "Sino-Western Penang Responses" on 20 November 2010. The Lecture shed light on the Chinese Diaspora in Penang and the role that they played in the region. The first Chinese people settled in Penang before Macartney met Emperor Qianlong. The children from these early Chinese immigrants had began to study Western ways long before Sun Yat-sen went to English schools in Hawaii and Hong Kong. When Sun was just a baby, a boy born in Penang named Ku Hung-ming was sent to Britain to pursue his education. Later, Ku passed through Penang and never returned. In the meantime, Sun came to Penang 30 years later and was warmly received by those from whom Ku had turned away. The talk by Prof Wang discussed these early phases of globalisation. \r\n\r\nThe Penang Story inaugural lecture also coincided with the 22Joint Conference of the Sun Yat Sen and Soong Ching Ling Memorials.\r\nlectures10

Penang and Asia\'s Migrant HistoryPenang Story Lectures 16 December 2012
Between 1840 and 1940, close to 50 million people moved across Asia\'s frontiers: most of them were young men from southern China and eastern India who moved to and from Southeast Asia. They travelled under varying degrees of freedom and constraint—and, consciously or unknowingly, they transformed Asia\'s future. lectures1
Penang was a central point in many of their journeys. As a result, Penang\'s history provides us with a unique portal into a much larger history of Asian migration. Penang has much to offer historians of Asian migration—a deep archive of print culture and visual sources, a rich material and architectural heritage, a vibrant tradition of local history and heritage activism. The lecture will argue that Penang played a crucial role as a site of intersection between multiple Asian diasporas. It will locate Penang at the crossroads of many social and political worlds: the world of the Bay of Bengal, the Malay world, and the "Asian Mediterranean" stretching from China to Southeast Asia. The final part of the lecture will consider the legacies of this earlier era of migration for Penang\'s position within the Indian Ocean today.

Building bridges across the Bay of Bengal: Tagore and his contemporariesPenang Story Lectures 28 August 2012
A world-historical transformation is under way in the early twenty-first century as Asia recovers the global position it had lost in the late eighteenth century. Yet the idea of Asia and a spirit of Asian universalism were alive and articulated in a variety of registers during the period of European imperial domination. lectures2
One of the most creative exponents of an Asia-sense was Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. This lecture will explore the intellectual, cultural and political conversations across the Bay of Bengal between South and Southeast Asia conducted by Tagore and his contemporaries. Such an exploration may give us fresh insights into the modern intellectual history of Asia as well as theories of universalism, cosmopolitanism and internationalism.

Plague Fighter Dr Wu Lien-teh\r\nA Penang Hero who modernized medicine in ChinaPenang Story Lectures 19 May 2012
Almost one hundred years ago, when Manchuria, North Eastern part of China was invaded by a pneumonic plague, a valiant fighter against the disease emerged in the form of Dr. Wu Lien- teh. Leading a group of inspired medical personnel, Dr. Wu researched countless scientific methods in an attempt to contain the plague. His efforts eventually resulted in a breakthrough in the medical world.\r\n lectures3
Besides being recognized in China as the founding father of modern medicine, Dr Wu (1879-1960), was also known in Singapore and Malaya as one of the three editors of the "Straits Chinese Magazine", he was a Public Health Expert, Medical Science historian and pioneer of the Plague Quarantine and Prevention. Born in Penang, Dr Wu was awarded the Queen\'s Scholarship of the Straits Settlement at the age of 17 (1896), making him the first Chinese Medical Science student in Cambridge, England. In 1902, he obtained his Medical Science and Surgical degrees (B.A) from Cambridge University. Dr Wu was later separately awarded the Cambridge University Medical Science doctorate degree, the John Hopkins University Public Health Degree and an honorary doctorate degree by the Japanese Imperial University of Tokyo respectively in 1905, 1924 and 1926.

Thinking & Feeling Gender in the History of Malaysia Penang Story Lectures 20 April 2012
How was \'woman\' represented throughout Malaya\'s and then Malaysia\'s transition from one epochal moment to the other? This lecture will delve into the history of the nation by centralizing \'woman\' as a subject of public imagination and social construction. In the early 20th century, modernity was the threshold which colonized peoples aspired to cross over.\r\n lectures4
In Malaya the Modern Girl was imagined across all communities from Straits Chinese to Muslim Malays. However, achieving \'modernity\' was also strewn with battles on how this could be resolved and reconciled without challenging existing religious and cultural traditions. As Malaya moved on to seek decolonization and nationalism the Modern Girl made way for the trope of the Warrior Mother, or womanhood inducted into the perjuangan (struggles) for national liberation.\r\n\r\nPostcolonial, the reinvention of Woman took on the new rights-based identity of the Emancipated Woman or the Liberated Feminist. In the Malaysian case, we also see tropes of the Ibu Mithali (Exemplary Mother) and Isteri Taat (Obedient Wife) competing as symbols of the authentic woman in contemporary society. It is such that gender identity is never constant but subject to cultural, religious and political reinvention and contestation.

Trade between India and South-east Asia in the Early Modern Period Penang Story Lectures 17 September 2011
India had tradionally played a central role in the structure of the Indian Ocean trade in the early modern period. In part, this indeed was a function of the midway location of the subcontinent between west Asia on the one hand and southeast and east Asia on the other. But perhaps even more important was the subcontinent\'s capacity to put on the market a wide  lectures5
range of tradable goods at highly competitive prices. These included agricultural goods, both food items such as rice, sugar and oil as well as raw materials such as cotton and indigo.\r\n\r\nWhile the bulk of the trade in these goods was coastal, the high-seas trade component was by no means insignificant. The real strength of the subcontinent, however, lay in the provision of large quantities of manufactured goods, the most important amongst which was textiles of various kinds. While these included high value varieties such as the legendary Dhaka muslins and the Gujarat silk embroideries, the really important component for the Asian market was the coarse cotton varieties manufactures primarily on the Coromandel coast and in Gujarat.\r\n\r\nThere was a large scale demand for these varieties both in the eastern markets of Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand and Burma as well as in the markets of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and East Africa.

Penang and Bombay: Indian Ocean port cities in the nineteenth century Penang Story Lectures 16 September 2011
In the 1960s and \'70s a number of studies treated the port cities of the Indian Ocean before and during the colonial period as comparative and connected societies. Thereafter, historians turned to more intensive local studies of parts of maritime South and Southeast Asia. This lecture returns to the earlier problem by examining Penang  lectures6
and Bombay, located at different levels of the commercial system, but vital elements in the emergence of capitalist modernity across Asia.\r\n\r\nThe lecture considers recent scholarly interpretations of \'multiple modernities\' in the light of the belief of the nineteenth-century inhabitants of these cities that they did, in fact, uniquely embody novel forms of commerce, community relations and urban space. It goes on to consider their major resident communities, drawing comparisons between, for instance, the role of the Peranakan Babas in Penang and on the Straits of Malacca and the role of Parsis in Bombay and on the western Indian coast.\r\n\r\nIt also examines the ethos and ideologies of the Muslim commercial communities of the two cities. The lecture then turns to the politics of the Penang and Bombay during the \'long\' nineteenth century.

Rabindranath Tagore and the Cosmopolitan VisionPenang Story Lectures 14 May 2011
The talk by Dr Saranindranath Tagore, Associate Professor and Deputy Head, Philosophy Department at the National University of Singapore, was titled "Rabindranath Tagore and the Cosmopolitan Vision.\r\n\r\nThe poet Rabindranath Tagore was a social thinker whose ideas are remarkably relevant to today\'s world.  lectures8
He was one of the first thinkers of the 20th century to argue for the virtues of cosmopolitan and internationalism.\r\n\r\nIn the talk Dr Saranindranath attempted to accomplish two tasks - first to develop the sense of cosmopolitanism that was at stake in Tagore\'s vision and secondly, to show how this conception was related to Dr Rabindranath Tagore\'s educational philosophy and practice.\r\nIt was in the speaker\'s view that the poet\'s opinions on education and cosmopolitanism steeped in the value of hospitable consciousness are deeply relevant in today\'s world-conditions.\r\n\r\nThe talk was moderated by Universiti Sains Malaysia\'s vice chancellor Professor Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak.

The Bujang ValleyPenang Story Lectures 18 December 2010
This public lecture, the second in a series featuring significant events in the history of Penang and its region, was about the latest discoveries in Sungai Batu in the Bujang Valley. Dubbed "revisiting an old relationship" by The Hindu newspaper, Professor Mohd Mokhtar gave a very interesting lecture with revelations that the lectures9
archeological discoveries at Sg Batu extends the relationship between India and this region to the 1st century A.D. In fact, the Sg Batu site is the earliest Indianized settlement in Southeast Asia. The discoveries of iron-making factories are factual evidence to the Hikayat Mahameru as well as Tamil poems of that same period. Both Think City and co-organizers the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (MBRAS) regarded this discovery as most significant for it lays the basis for the wider theme of Penang and global history.

A world-historical transformation is under way in the early twenty-first century as Asia recovers the global position it had lost in the late eighteenth century. Yet the idea of Asia and a spirit of Asian universalism were alive and articulated in a variety of registers during the period of European imperial domination. lectures2
One of the most creative exponents of an Asia-sense was Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. This lecture will explore the intellectual, cultural and political conversations across the Bay of Bengal between South and Southeast Asia conducted by Tagore and his contemporaries. Such an exploration may give us fresh insights into the modern intellectual history of Asia as well as theories of universalism, cosmopolitanism and internationalism.

Plague Fighter Dr Wu Lien-teh\r\nA Penang Hero who modernized medicine in ChinaPenang Story Lectures 19 May 2012
Almost one hundred years ago, when Manchuria, North Eastern part of China was invaded by a pneumonic plague, a valiant fighter against the disease emerged in the form of Dr. Wu Lien- teh. Leading a group of inspired medical personnel, Dr. Wu researched countless scientific methods in an attempt to contain the plague. His efforts eventually resulted in a breakthrough in the medical world. lectures3
Besides being recognized in China as the founding father of modern medicine, Dr Wu (1879-1960), was also known in Singapore and Malaya as one of the three editors of the "Straits Chinese Magazine", he was a Public Health Expert, Medical Science historian and pioneer of the Plague Quarantine and Prevention. Born in Penang, Dr Wu was awarded the Queen\'s Scholarship of the Straits Settlement at the age of 17 (1896), making him the first Chinese Medical Science student in Cambridge, England. In 1902, he obtained his Medical Science and Surgical degrees (B.A) from Cambridge University. Dr Wu was later separately awarded the Cambridge University Medical Science doctorate degree, the John Hopkins University Public Health Degree and an honorary doctorate degree by the Japanese Imperial University of Tokyo respectively in 1905, 1924 and 1926.

Thinking & Feeling Gender in the History of Malaysia Penang Story Lectures 20 April 2012
How was \'woman\' represented throughout Malaya\'s and then Malaysia\'s transition from one epochal moment to the other? This lecture will delve into the history of the nation by centralizing \'woman\' as a subject of public imagination and social construction. In the early 20th century, modernity was the threshold which colonized peoples aspired to cross over. lectures4
In Malaya the Modern Girl was imagined across all communities from Straits Chinese to Muslim Malays. However, achieving \'modernity\' was also strewn with battles on how this could be resolved and reconciled without challenging existing religious and cultural traditions. As Malaya moved on to seek decolonization and nationalism the Modern Girl made way for the trope of the Warrior Mother, or womanhood inducted into the perjuangan (struggles) for national liberation.\r\n\r\nPostcolonial, the reinvention of Woman took on the new rights-based identity of the Emancipated Woman or the Liberated Feminist. In the Malaysian case, we also see tropes of the Ibu Mithali (Exemplary Mother) and Isteri Taat (Obedient Wife) competing as symbols of the authentic woman in contemporary society. It is such that gender identity is never constant but subject to cultural, religious and political reinvention and contestation.

Trade between India and South-east Asia in the Early Modern Period Penang Story Lectures 17 September 2011
India had tradionally played a central role in the structure of the Indian Ocean trade in the early modern period. In part, this indeed was a function of the midway location of the subcontinent between west Asia on the one hand and southeast and east Asia on the other. But perhaps even more important was the subcontinent\'s capacity to put on the market a wide lectures5
range of tradable goods at highly competitive prices. These included agricultural goods, both food items such as rice, sugar and oil as well as raw materials such as cotton and indigo.\r\n\r\nWhile the bulk of the trade in these goods was coastal, the high-seas trade component was by no means insignificant. The real strength of the subcontinent, however, lay in the provision of large quantities of manufactured goods, the most important amongst which was textiles of various kinds. While these included high value varieties such as the legendary Dhaka muslins and the Gujarat silk embroideries, the really important component for the Asian market was the coarse cotton varieties manufactures primarily on the Coromandel coast and in Gujarat.\r\n\r\nThere was a large scale demand for these varieties both in the eastern markets of Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand and Burma as well as in the markets of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and East Africa.

Penang and Bombay: Indian Ocean port cities in the nineteenth century Penang Story Lectures 16 September 2011
In the 1960s and \'70s a number of studies treated the port cities of the Indian Ocean before and during the colonial period as comparative and connected societies. Thereafter, historians turned to more intensive local studies of parts of maritime South and Southeast Asia. This lecture returns to the earlier problem by examining Penang lectures6
and Bombay, located at different levels of the commercial system, but vital elements in the emergence of capitalist modernity across Asia.\r\n\r\nThe lecture considers recent scholarly interpretations of \'multiple modernities\' in the light of the belief of the nineteenth-century inhabitants of these cities that they did, in fact, uniquely embody novel forms of commerce, community relations and urban space. It goes on to consider their major resident communities, drawing comparisons between, for instance, the role of the Peranakan Babas in Penang and on the Straits of Malacca and the role of Parsis in Bombay and on the western Indian coast.\r\n\r\nIt also examines the ethos and ideologies of the Muslim commercial communities of the two cities. The lecture then turns to the politics of the Penang and Bombay during the \'long\' nineteenth century.

The talk by Dr Saranindranath Tagore, Associate Professor and Deputy Head, Philosophy Department at the National University of Singapore, was titled "Rabindranath Tagore and the Cosmopolitan Vision.\r\n\r\nThe poet Rabindranath Tagore was a social thinker whose ideas are remarkably relevant to today\'s world. lectures8
He was one of the first thinkers of the 20th century to argue for the virtues of cosmopolitan and internationalism.\r\n\r\nIn the talk Dr Saranindranath attempted to accomplish two tasks - first to develop the sense of cosmopolitanism that was at stake in Tagore\'s vision and secondly, to show how this conception was related to Dr Rabindranath Tagore\'s educational philosophy and practice.\r\nIt was in the speaker\'s view that the poet\'s opinions on education and cosmopolitanism steeped in the value of hospitable consciousness are deeply relevant in today\'s world-conditions.\r\n\r\nThe talk was moderated by Universiti Sains Malaysia\'s vice chancellor Professor Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak.

Both Think City and co-organizers the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (MBRAS) regarded this discovery as most significant for it lays the basis for the wider theme of Penang and global history.

Sino-Western Penang ResponsesInaugural Penang Story Lecture 20 November 2010

The Lecture shed light on the Chinese Diaspora in Penang and the role that they played in the region. The first Chinese people settled in Penang before Macartney met Emperor Qianlong.lectures10
The children from these early Chinese immigrants had began to study Western ways long before Sun Yat-sen went to English schools in Hawaii and Hong Kong. When Sun was just a baby, a boy born in Penang named Ku Hung-ming was sent to Britain to pursue his education. Later, Ku passed through Penang and never returned. In the meantime, Sun came to Penang 30 years later and was warmly received by those from whom Ku had turned away. The talk by Prof Wang discussed these early phases of globalisation.\r\n\r\nThe Penang Story inaugural lecture also coincided with the 22Joint Conference of the Sun Yat Sen and Soong Ching Ling Memorials.

Penang and Asia\'s Migrant HistoryPenang Story Lectures 16 December 2012
Between 1840 and 1940, close to 50 million people moved across Asia\'s frontiers: most of them were young men from southern China and eastern India who moved to and from Southeast Asia. They travelled under varying degrees of freedom and constraint—and, consciously or unknowingly, they transformed Asia\'s future. lectures1
Penang was a central point in many of their journeys. As a result, Penang\'s history provides us with a unique portal into a much larger history of Asian migration. Penang has much to offer historians of Asian migration—a deep archive of print culture and visual sources, a rich material and architectural heritage, a vibrant tradition of local history and heritage activism. The lecture will argue that Penang played a crucial role as a site of intersection between multiple Asian diasporas. It will locate Penang at the crossroads of many social and political worlds: the world of the Bay of Bengal, the Malay world, and the "Asian Mediterranean" stretching from China to Southeast Asia. The final part of the lecture will consider the legacies of this earlier era of migration for Penang\'s position within the Indian Ocean today.

Thereafter, historians turned to more intensive local studies of parts of maritime South and Southeast Asia. This lecture returns to the earlier problem by examining Penang lectures6
and Bombay, located at different levels of the commercial system, but vital elements in the emergence of capitalist modernity across Asia.\r\n\r\nThe lecture considers recent scholarly interpretations of \'multiple modernities\' in the light of the belief of the nineteenth-century inhabitants of these cities that they did, in fact, uniquely embody novel forms of commerce, community relations and urban space. It goes on to consider their major resident communities, drawing comparisons between, for instance, the role of the Peranakan Babas in Penang and on the Straits of Malacca and the role of Parsis in Bombay and on the western Indian coast.\r\n\r\nIt also examines the ethos and ideologies of the Muslim commercial communities of the two cities. The lecture then turns to the politics of the Penang and Bombay during the \'long\' nineteenth century.

Rabindranath Tagore and the Cosmopolitan VisionPenang Story Lectures 14 May 2011
The talk by Dr Saranindranath Tagore, Associate Professor and Deputy Head, Philosophy Department at the National University of Singapore, was titled "Rabindranath Tagore and the Cosmopolitan Vision.\r\n\r\nThe poet Rabindranath Tagore was a social thinker whose ideas are remarkably relevant to today\'s world. lectures8
He was one of the first thinkers of the 20th century to argue for the virtues of cosmopolitan and internationalism.\r\n\r\nIn the talk Dr Saranindranath attempted to accomplish two tasks - first to develop the sense of cosmopolitanism that was at stake in Tagore\'s vision and secondly, to show how this conception was related to Dr Rabindranath Tagore\'s educational philosophy and practice.\r\nIt was in the speaker\'s view that the poet\'s opinions on education and cosmopolitanism steeped in the value of hospitable consciousness are deeply relevant in today\'s world-conditions.\r\n\r\nThe talk was moderated by Universiti Sains Malaysia\'s vice chancellor Professor Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak.

The Bujang ValleyPenang Story Lectures 18 December 2010
This public lecture, the second in a series featuring significant events in the history of Penang and its region, was about the latest discoveries in Sungai Batu in the Bujang Valley. Dubbed "revisiting an old relationship" by The Hindu newspaper, Professor Mohd Mokhtar gave a very interesting lecture with revelations that the lectures9
archeological discoveries at Sg Batu extends the relationship between India and this region to the 1st century A.D. In fact, the Sg Batu site is the earliest Indianized settlement in Southeast Asia. The discoveries of iron-making factories are factual evidence to the Hikayat Mahameru as well as Tamil poems of that same period. Both Think City and co-organizers the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (MBRAS) regarded this discovery as most significant for it lays the basis for the wider theme of Penang and global history.

Sino-Western Penang ResponsesInaugural Penang Story Lecture 20 November 2010
The Inaugural Penang Story Lecture was by Emeritus Professor Wang Gungwu titled "Sino-Western Penang Responses" on 20 November 2010. The Lecture shed light on the Chinese Diaspora in Penang and the role that they played in the region. The first Chinese people settled in Penang before Macartney met Emperor Qianlong.lectures10
The children from these early Chinese immigrants had began to study Western ways long before Sun Yat-sen went to English schools in Hawaii and Hong Kong. When Sun was just a baby, a boy born in Penang named Ku Hung-ming was sent to Britain to pursue his education. Later, Ku passed through Penang and never returned. In the meantime, Sun came to Penang 30 years later and was warmly received by those from whom Ku had turned away. The talk by Prof Wang discussed these early phases of globalisation.\r\n\r\nThe Penang Story inaugural lecture also coincided with the 22Joint Conference of the Sun Yat Sen and Soong Ching Ling Memorials.

He was vocal in the social issues of the time, founded the Anti-Opium Association in Penang and advocated cutting of the Manchu hair queue among the Malayan Chinese. In the winter of 1910, Dr. Wu was invited to Harbin in northeast China to investigate a plague pandemic which claimed more than 60,000 lives. His swift action to isolate infected victims and compulsory using of face-masks saved millions and he went on to introduce major medical reforms in China for the next two decades.\r\n\r\nIn 1937, Dr. Wu moved back to Malaya where he worked as a General Practitioner in Ipoh. Dr. Wu tirelessly collected donations to start the Perak Library in Ipoh and he was known to give free consultation and treatment to the poor. He died in Penang on 21st January 1960, aged 81. A road named after Dr. Wu can be found in Ipoh Garden South. In Penang, Taman Wu Lien Teh is located near the Penang Free School.\r\n\r\nDr. Wu Lien-Teh is regarded as the first person to modernise China’s medical services and medical education. University departments and hospital buildings in Harbin and Beijing are named after him and a museum dedicated to Dr. Wu with his bronze bust constantly reminds the people his great contributions in promoting public health, preventive medicine and medical education.\r\n\r\nThis commemorative event is a prelude to the “International Symposium on Dr. Wu Lien-Teh and Public Health” scheduled to be held in Penang next year.\r\n\r\nFee & Bus Fare:\r\n\r\n- For WLT Society & PHT members we collect RM20 (including refreshment & bus fare)\r\n\r\n- For spouses and children of WLT Society & PHT members same as above\r\n\r\n- For relatives and friends of WLT Society & PHT members it is RM35 (including refreshment & bus fare)\r\n\r\nWe would appreciate if you could RSVP to Sheau Fung / Vanessa at info@pht.org.my or Tel: 264 2631 before 5 March 2013.', 'The Dr. Wu Lien-Teh Trail', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'the-dr-wu-lien-teh-trail', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:47:49', '2013-02-28 04:47:49', '', 0, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?post_type=ai1ec_event&p=734&instance_id=', 0, 'ai1ec_event', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (678, 1, '2013-02-26 17:50:38', '2013-02-26 09:50:38', '24 February 2013, 2.00pm, meet at the information counter of Little Penang Street Market, Upper Penang Road by 1.50pm.\r\n\r\nAdmission: FREE (Pre-registration is required)\r\n\r\nRegistration : Contact Penang Heritage Trust 04-264 2631 or email info@pht.org.my\r\n\r\nThe Protestant Cemetery is a site of great significance within the World Heritage Site of George Town.

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_708" align="aligncenter" width="407"]Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines[/caption]\r\n

Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.

\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse,  26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_709" align="aligncenter" width="359"]Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse, 26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse, 26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun[/caption]\r\n

Historical Personality 1:  Built by Khaw Loh Hup, the father of Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun (1837-1906), after his retirement. Khaw Loh Hup is one of the founders of Han Jiang Ancestral Hall 韩江家庙 in 1864 at 381 Carnavon Street (社尾街381号) (许栳合、王武昌、红声挂、黄遇冬 )+(陈亚苞、李永隆 ).  He and his son Khaw Boon Aun were leaders in Tiechiu section of the Ghee Hin triad society.

\r\nHistorical Personality 2:  Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun, leader of the Ghee Hin, was appointed to the Perak State Council on 7th October 1886. He started a Straits-born Chinese Club known as Hong Wah in Nibong Tebal. Also, an inaugural member of the Chinese Advisory Board in 1890, principle director of the Kwangtung and Tingchow Public Cemetery Committee, co-founder of the Penang Chinese Town Hall and Seh Khaw Kongsi,  sole Asian commissioner in the Commission of Enquiry (1890), Justice of the Peace in 1905.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: This house is one of the earliest brick houses in Bukit Tambun. It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\r\n\r\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\r\n\r\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\r\n\r\nCondition:  The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Chung Thye Phin Villa – Relau

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_710" align="aligncenter" width="317"]Chung Thye Phin Villa – Relau Chung Thye Phin Villa – Relau[/caption]\r\n

Chung Thye Phin (1879 – 1935) is the fourth son of the Hakka tin-miner Chung KengKwee. He received his education at St. Xavier’s Institution and he became a well-known miner and planter in Perak. He was made the last Chinese Kapitan of Perak and a member of the Perak State Council.

\r\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\r\n\r\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\r\n

Udini House, Gelugor

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_711" align="aligncenter" width="484"]Udini House, Gelugor Udini House, Gelugor[/caption]\r\n

Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.

\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n

Shih Chung School – 11, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_712" align="aligncenter" width="612"]Shih Chung School – 11, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah Shih Chung School – 11, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah[/caption]\r\n

The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.

\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n

The Tanjung Tokong Malay village is one of the oldest traditional seaside Malay villages left on Penang island, complete with mosque and cemetery. Some of the houses date back to the early 20th century.

\r\nIt characterized by its unique location by the Tanjong Tokong shore. It was originally made up of two villages, one on the hill slope and another village called Kampung Telaga Air.\r\n\r\nIt is now endangered due to a redevelopment proposal by UDA.\r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.

\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\nalert1Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.\n\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\n\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden.

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\nalert7Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.\n\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\'mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel (see 1930s post card view attached) and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\n\n ', '7 Most Important Endangered Sites', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '706-revision', '', '', '2013-02-28 11:35:19', '2013-02-28 03:35:19', '', 706, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=715', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (716, 1, '2013-02-28 11:35:23', '2013-02-28 03:35:23', '

\r\nalert5The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (XieDeshun) and Cheah TekThye (XieDetai). Cheah TekSoon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (XieLiumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.\r\n\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Tanjung Tokong Malay Village

\r\nalert6The Tanjung Tokong Malay village is one of the oldest traditional seaside Malay villages left on Penang island, complete with mosque and cemetery. Some of the houses date back to the early 20th century.\r\n\r\nIt characterized by its unique location by the Tanjong Tokong shore. It was originally made up of two villages, one on the hill slope and another village called KampungTelaga Air.\r\n\r\nIt is now endangered due to a redevelopment proposal by UDA.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\nalert7Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.\r\n\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\'mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n\r\n ', '7 Most Important Endangered Sites', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '706-revision-3', '', '', '2013-02-28 11:36:00', '2013-02-28 03:36:00', '', 706, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=717', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (718, 1, '2013-02-28 15:49:24', '2013-02-28 07:49:24', '\n

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\n \n\n \n\n[caption id="attachment_708" align="aligncenter" width="407"]Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines[/caption]\n

Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.

\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\n\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\n\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\n\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\n

Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse,  26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun

\n \n\n \n\n[caption id="attachment_709" align="aligncenter" width="359"]Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse, 26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse, 26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun[/caption]\n

Historical Personality 1:  Built by Khaw Loh Hup, the father of Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun (1837-1906), after his retirement. Khaw Loh Hup is one of the founders of Han Jiang Ancestral Hall 韩江家庙 in 1864 at 381 Carnavon Street (社尾街381号) (许栳合、王武昌、红声挂、黄遇冬 )+(陈亚苞、李永隆 ).  He and his son Khaw Boon Aun were leaders in Tiechiu section of the Ghee Hin triad society.

\nHistorical Personality 2:  Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun, leader of the Ghee Hin, was appointed to the Perak State Council on 7th October 1886. He started a Straits-born Chinese Club known as Hong Wah in Nibong Tebal. Also, an inaugural member of the Chinese Advisory Board in 1890, principle director of the Kwangtung and Tingchow Public Cemetery Committee, co-founder of the Penang Chinese Town Hall and Seh Khaw Kongsi,  sole Asian commissioner in the Commission of Enquiry (1890), Justice of the Peace in 1905.\n\nArchitectural history: This house is one of the earliest brick houses in Bukit Tambun. It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\n\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\n\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\n\nCondition:  The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\n

Chung Thye Phin (1879 – 1935) is the fourth son of the Hakka tin-miner Chung KengKwee. He received his education at St. Xavier’s Institution and he became a well-known miner and planter in Perak. He was made the last Chinese Kapitan of Perak and a member of the Perak State Council.

\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\n\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\n

Udini House, Gelugor

\n \n\n \n\n[caption id="attachment_711" align="aligncenter" width="484"]Udini House, Gelugor Udini House, Gelugor[/caption]\n

Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.

\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\n\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\n\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\n\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\n

The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\nalert7Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.\r\n\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n\r\n ', '7 Most Important Endangered Sites', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '706-revision-5', '', '', '2013-02-28 11:41:06', '2013-02-28 03:41:06', '', 706, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=720', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (721, 1, '2013-02-28 11:49:49', '2013-02-28 03:49:49', '

McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Shih Chung School – 11, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\nalert5The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (XieDeshun) and Cheah TekThye (XieDetai). Cheah TekSoon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (XieLiumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.\r\n\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Tanjung Tokong Malay Village

\r\nalert6The Tanjung Tokong Malay village is one of the oldest traditional seaside Malay villages left on Penang island, complete with mosque and cemetery. Some of the houses date back to the early 20th century.\r\n\r\nIt characterized by its unique location by the Tanjong Tokong shore. It was originally made up of two villages, one on the hill slope and another village called KampungTelaga Air.\r\n\r\nIt is now endangered due to a redevelopment proposal by UDA.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\nalert7Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.\r\n\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n\r\n ', '7 Most Important Endangered Sites', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '706-revision-7', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:02:06', '2013-02-28 04:02:06', '', 706, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=722', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (723, 1, '2013-02-28 12:04:36', '2013-02-28 04:04:36', '

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\nalert1Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse,  26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun

\r\nalert2Historical Personality 1:  Built by Khaw Loh Hup, the father of Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun (1837-1906), after his retirement. Khaw Loh Hup is one of the founders of Han Jiang Ancestral Hall 韩江家庙 in 1864 at 381 Carnavon Street (社尾街381号) (许栳合、王武昌、红声挂、黄遇冬 )+(陈亚苞、李永隆 ).  He and his son Khaw Boon Aun were leaders in Tiechiu section of the Ghee Hin triad society.\r\n\r\nHistorical Personality 2:  Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun, leader of the Ghee Hin, was appointed to the Perak State Council on 7th October 1886. He started a Straits-born Chinese Club known as Hong Wah in Nibong Tebal. Also, an inaugural member of the Chinese Advisory Board in 1890, principle director of the Kwangtung and Tingchow Public Cemetery Committee, co-founder of the Penang Chinese Town Hall and Seh Khaw Kongsi,  sole Asian commissioner in the Commission of Enquiry (1890), Justice of the Peace in 1905.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: This house is one of the earliest brick houses in Bukit Tambun. It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\r\n\r\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\r\n\r\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\r\n\r\nCondition:  The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Chung Thye Phin Villa – Relau

\r\nalert3Chung Thye Phin (1879 – 1935) is the fourth son of the Hakka tin-miner Chung KengKwee. He received his education at St. Xavier’s Institution and he became a well-known miner and planter in Perak. He was made the last Chinese Kapitan of Perak and a member of the Perak State Council.\r\n\r\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\r\n\r\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\r\n\r\n \r\n

Udini House, Gelugor

\r\nalert4Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.\r\n\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F.

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\nalert1Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse,  26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun

\r\nalert2Historical Personality 1:  Built by Khaw Loh Hup, the father of Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun (1837-1906), after his retirement. Khaw Loh Hup is one of the founders of Han Jiang Ancestral Hall 韩江家庙 in 1864 at 381 Carnavon Street (社尾街381号) (许栳合、王武昌、红声挂、黄遇冬 )+(陈亚苞、李永隆 ).  He and his son Khaw Boon Aun were leaders in Tiechiu section of the Ghee Hin triad society.\r\n\r\nHistorical Personality 2:  Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun, leader of the Ghee Hin, was appointed to the Perak State Council on 7th October 1886. He started a Straits-born Chinese Club known as Hong Wah in Nibong Tebal. Also, an inaugural member of the Chinese Advisory Board in 1890, principle director of the Kwangtung and Tingchow Public Cemetery Committee, co-founder of the Penang Chinese Town Hall and Seh Khaw Kongsi,  sole Asian commissioner in the Commission of Enquiry (1890), Justice of the Peace in 1905.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: This house is one of the earliest brick houses in Bukit Tambun. It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\r\n\r\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\r\n\r\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\r\n\r\nCondition:  The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n\r\n

Chung Thye Phin Villa – Relau

\r\nalert3Chung Thye Phin (1879 – 1935) is the fourth son of the Hakka tin-miner Chung KengKwee. He received his education at St. Xavier’s Institution and he became a well-known miner and planter in Perak. He was made the last Chinese Kapitan of Perak and a member of the Perak State Council.\r\n\r\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\r\n\r\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\r\n\r\n \r\n

Udini House, Gelugor

\r\nalert4Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.\r\n\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Shih Chung School – 11, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\nalert5The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.\r\n\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Tanjung Tokong Malay Village

\r\nalert6The Tanjung Tokong Malay village is one of the oldest traditional seaside Malay villages left on Penang island, complete with mosque and cemetery. Some of the houses date back to the early 20th century.\r\n\r\nIt characterized by its unique location by the Tanjong Tokong shore. It was originally made up of two villages, one on the hill slope and another village called Kampung Telaga Air.\r\n\r\nIt is now endangered due to a redevelopment proposal by UDA.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\nalert7Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.\r\n\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n\r\n ', '7 Most Important Endangered Sites', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '706-revision-10', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:15:14', '2013-02-28 04:15:14', '', 706, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=725', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (726, 1, '2013-02-28 12:16:24', '2013-02-28 04:16:24', '

Udini House, Gelugor

\r\nalert4Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.\r\n\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Shih Chung School – 11, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\nalert5The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.\r\n\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\nalert7Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.\r\n\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n\r\n ', '7 Most Important Endangered Sites', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '706-revision-12', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:26:19', '2013-02-28 04:26:19', '', 706, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=727', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (728, 1, '2013-02-28 12:27:24', '2013-02-28 04:27:24', '

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\nalert1Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.

After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n\r\n ', '7 Most Important Endangered Sites', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '706-revision-14', '', '', '2013-02-28 12:28:47', '2013-02-28 04:28:47', '', 706, 'http://103.6.196.136/~phtorgmy//?p=729', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ; INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (730, 1, '2013-02-28 12:36:02', '2013-02-28 04:36:02', '

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\nalert1Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.

Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse,  26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun

\r\nalert2Historical Personality 1:  Built by Khaw Loh Hup, the father of Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun (1837-1906), after his retirement. Khaw Loh Hup is one of the founders of Han Jiang Ancestral Hall 韩江家庙 in 1864 at 381 Carnavon Street (社尾街381号) (许栳合、王武昌、红声挂、黄遇冬 )+(陈亚苞、李永隆 ).  He and his son Khaw Boon Aun were leaders in Tiechiu section of the Ghee Hin triad society.\r\n\r\nHistorical Personality 2:  Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun, leader of the Ghee Hin, was appointed to the Perak State Council on 7th October 1886. He started a Straits-born Chinese Club known as Hong Wah in Nibong Tebal. Also, an inaugural member of the Chinese Advisory Board in 1890, principle director of the Kwangtung and Tingchow Public Cemetery Committee, co-founder of the Penang Chinese Town Hall and Seh Khaw Kongsi,  sole Asian commissioner in the Commission of Enquiry (1890), Justice of the Peace in 1905.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: This house is one of the earliest brick houses in Bukit Tambun. It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\r\n\r\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\r\n\r\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\r\n\r\nCondition:  The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Chung Thye Phin Villa – Relau

\r\nalert3Chung Thye Phin (1879 – 1935) is the fourth son of the Hakka tin-miner Chung KengKwee. He received his education at St. Xavier’s Institution and he became a well-known miner and planter in Perak. He was made the last Chinese Kapitan of Perak and a member of the Perak State Council.\r\n\r\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\r\n\r\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\r\n

Udini House, Gelugor

\r\nalert4Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.\r\n\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n

Shih Chung School – 11, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\nalert5The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.\r\n\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n

Tanjung Tokong Malay Village

\r\nalert6The Tanjung Tokong Malay village is one of the oldest traditional seaside Malay villages left on Penang island, complete with mosque and cemetery. Some of the houses date back to the early 20th century.\r\n\r\nIt characterized by its unique location by the Tanjong Tokong shore. It was originally made up of two villages, one on the hill slope and another village called Kampung Telaga Air.\r\n\r\nIt is now endangered due to a redevelopment proposal by UDA.\r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\nalert7Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.\r\n\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n

Udini House, Gelugor

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nalert4Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.\r\n\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n

Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.\r\n\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nalert7Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.\r\n\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nalert1Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897.

Chung Thye Phin Villa – Relau

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nalert3Chung Thye Phin (1879 – 1935) is the fourth son of the Hakka tin-miner Chung KengKwee. He received his education at St. Xavier’s Institution and he became a well-known miner and planter in Perak. He was made the last Chinese Kapitan of Perak and a member of the Perak State Council.\r\n\r\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\r\n\r\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\r\n

Udini House, Gelugor

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nalert4Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.\r\n\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n

Shih Chung School – 11, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nalert5The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.\r\n\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nalert7Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.\r\n\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_708" align="aligncenter" width="407"]Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines[/caption]\r\n

Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.

\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Chung Thye Phin (1879 – 1935) is the fourth son of the Hakka tin-miner Chung KengKwee. He received his education at St. Xavier’s Institution and he became a well-known miner and planter in Perak. He was made the last Chinese Kapitan of Perak and a member of the Perak State Council.

\r\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\r\n\r\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\r\n

Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.

\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n

The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.

\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n

The Tanjung Tokong Malay village is one of the oldest traditional seaside Malay villages left on Penang island, complete with mosque and cemetery. Some of the houses date back to the early 20th century.

\r\nIt characterized by its unique location by the Tanjong Tokong shore. It was originally made up of two villages, one on the hill slope and another village called Kampung Telaga Air.\r\n\r\nIt is now endangered due to a redevelopment proposal by UDA.\r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.

\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_708" align="aligncenter" width="407"]Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines[/caption]\r\n

Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.

\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\r\n\r\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\r\n\r\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\r\n\r\nCondition:  The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse.

However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\r\n

Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.

\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n

The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.

\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n

Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.

\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_708" align="aligncenter" width="407"]Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines[/caption]\r\n

Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.

\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\r\n\r\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\r\n\r\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\r\n\r\nCondition:  The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.

\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake.  Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din.  Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF.  In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through.  The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n

The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.

\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n

The Tanjung Tokong Malay village is one of the oldest traditional seaside Malay villages left on Penang island, complete with mosque and cemetery. Some of the houses date back to the early 20th century.

\r\nIt characterized by its unique location by the Tanjong Tokong shore. It was originally made up of two villages, one on the hill slope and another village called Kampung Telaga Air.\r\n\r\nIt is now endangered due to a redevelopment proposal by UDA.\r\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.

\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_708" align="aligncenter" width="407"]Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines[/caption]\r\n

Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.

\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\r\n\r\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\r\n\r\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\r\n\r\nCondition:  The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse.

\r\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\r\n\r\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\r\n

Khaw Loh Hup is one of the founders of Han Jiang Ancestral Hall 韩江家庙 in 1864 at 381 Carnavon Street (社尾街381号) (许栳合、王武昌、红声挂、黄遇冬 )+(陈亚苞、李永隆 ). He and his son Khaw Boon Aun were leaders in Tiechiu section of the Ghee Hin triad society.

\r\nHistorical Personality 2: Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun, leader of the Ghee Hin, was appointed to the Perak State Council on 7th October 1886. He started a Straits-born Chinese Club known as Hong Wah in Nibong Tebal. Also, an inaugural member of the Chinese Advisory Board in 1890, principle director of the Kwangtung and Tingchow Public Cemetery Committee, co-founder of the Penang Chinese Town Hall and Seh Khaw Kongsi, sole Asian commissioner in the Commission of Enquiry (1890), Justice of the Peace in 1905.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: This house is one of the earliest brick houses in Bukit Tambun. It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\r\n\r\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\r\n\r\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\r\n\r\nCondition: The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Chung Thye Phin (1879 – 1935) is the fourth son of the Hakka tin-miner Chung KengKwee. He received his education at St. Xavier’s Institution and he became a well-known miner and planter in Perak. He was made the last Chinese Kapitan of Perak and a member of the Perak State Council.

\r\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\r\n\r\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\r\n

Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.

\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake. Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din. Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF. In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through. The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n

The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.

\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n

Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.

\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\n \n\n \n\n[caption id="attachment_708" align="aligncenter" width="407"]Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines[/caption]\n

Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.

\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\n\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\n\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\n\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\n

Chung Thye Phin (1879 – 1935) is the fourth son of the Hakka tin-miner Chung KengKwee. He received his education at St. Xavier’s Institution and he became a well-known miner and planter in Perak. He was made the last Chinese Kapitan of Perak and a member of the Perak State Council.

\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\n\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\n

Udini House, Gelugor

\n \n\n \n\n[caption id="attachment_711" align="aligncenter" width="484"]Udini House, Gelugor Udini House, Gelugor[/caption]\n

Udini House on Jalan Tunku Kudin (formerly Jalan Udini), Penang, is the former seaside residence of Y.M. Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.

\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\n\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\n\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake. Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din. Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\n\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF. In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through. The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\n

The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.

\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\n\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\n\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\n

Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

\n \n\n \n\n[caption id="attachment_714" align="aligncenter" width="614"]Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah Runnymede, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah[/caption]\n

Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.

\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\n

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe Penang Heritage Trust has come up with a preliminary list.\r\n\r\nThe criteria are:\r\n
    \r\n
  • Based on cultural significance the site should be worthy of being gazetted in the State Conservation list.
    • \r\n
  • The site must be truly endangered, suffering from years of neglect, endangered because of a change in circumstances, such as an unsympathetic proposal or it is now for sale and its heritage values are likely to be disregarded.
    • \r\n
  • The research has to be approved by PHT council.\r\n

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_708" align="aligncenter" width="407"]Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines[/caption]\r\n

Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.

\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\r\n\r\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\r\n\r\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\r\n\r\nCondition:  The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse.

Tunku Dhiauddinibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Rashid Muazzam Shah, better known as Tunku Kudin (1835-1909). TunkuKudin was the younger brother of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (II) Mukkaram Shah of Kedah, a sometime Raja Muda of Kedah, a Viceroy of Selangor (1868-1878) and an unsuccessful claimant to the throne of Kedah in 1881. Tunku Kudin’s story was given prominence by his great-nephew, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Consequently, the Penang Road Naming Committee renamed Jalan Udini after TunkuKudin.

\r\nIt is sited on a hill and commands an excellent view of the Penang Channel and of the mainland beyond. The grounds once had a stable for horses, an aviary and a deer park. A tunnel from Udini House once led right up to the beach.\r\n\r\nThe foundation stone of Udini House was laid in August 1882 by the Lieutenant Governor of Penang, J. F. McNair.\r\n\r\nLater this house was bought by TengkuKudin’s namesake. Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh (1848-1932), the Raja of Setul (today’s Satun in Thailand) and commonly known as Ku Din. Setul was then a part of Kedah. Ku Din was a capable administrator and was given wide powers by the King of Siam and the Sultan of Kedah with the Siamese title of PhyaPhuminathPakdi (“The Dedicated King”). Ku Din purchased the house in 1910 to serve as his holiday home. Ku Din renovated the house by adding a new wing, new servants’ quarters and possibly the aviary and deer park as he loved animals.\r\n\r\nFrom 1930 to December 1941, Udini House was rented to the law firm of Presgrave& Matthews. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Navy used it as their Penang headquarters. Post-WW2, it was used briefly by the British Military Administration, then by the RAAF. In 1953, the property was compulsorily acquired by the government for public housing development but the plans fell through. The Marine Police eventually took over the property and the house was allowed to gradually fall into its present derelict state.\r\n

The once-stately mansion of Goh Chan Lau, which means “Five-Storey Villa”, was built by the brothers Cheah Tek Soon (Xie Deshun) and Cheah Tek Thye (XieDetai). Cheah Tek Soon’s daughter Cheah Liew Bee (Xie Liumei) was married to Goh Say Eng (Wu Shirong), a fervent supporter of Sun Yat Sen. It was said that Goh Say Eng had persuaded the Cheah family to sell off the villa to financially fuel the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat Sen.

\r\nIn 1908, the villa passed into the hands of Tye Kee Yoon (Dai Xiyun), the Chinese Consul in Penang, who turned it into the Chinese Consulate. After the 1911 Revolution, his son TyePhey Yuen (Dai Shuyuan) became the first Consul of Republican of China in Penang.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the brothers Leong Eng Kean (Liang Enquan) and Leong Yin Kean (Liang Yingquan) rented the upper floor of the bungalow as the premises for the P’iJoo Girls’ School, which was forced to shut down when the Education Bill of 1920 was put into effect.\r\n\r\nThe Shih Chung Branch School, founded in 1938, occupied these premises until 1994.\r\n

Before the Second World War the Runnymede Hotel on Northam Road was considered one of only two deluxe hotels in Penang. Its imposing seafront wing was built in the 1930s and in 1938 it boasted 70 sea-view rooms compared to 71 at the rival Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A large ballroom opens out to lawns. An added attraction was the Crag Hotel on Penang Hill which came under the management of the Runnymede.

\r\nEstablished at the turn of the 20th century the hotel took its name from "Runnymede", the two-storey house on the property that was occupied by Thomas Stamford Raffles and his wife Olivia during their stay in Penang 1805-1811. Although badly damaged by fire in 1921 the original Raffles house has survived largely intact. After the Second World War the Runnymede was used by the British Forces as an officers\' mess and transit centre and later served as headquarters of the Malaysian 2nd Infantry Division. Although now derelict and in a general state of decay since the departure of 2 Division to facilities near the airport, the Runnymede owes its preservation so far to the fact of its long post-war occupation by both the British and Malaysian military. Both the seafront wing of the hotel and of course the early 19th century Raffles house are deserving of restoration as significant heritage buildings.\r\n

\r\n \r\n\r\nThe Penang Heritage Trust has come up with a preliminary list.\r\n\r\nThe criteria are:\r\n
    \r\n
  • Based on cultural significance the site should be worthy of being gazetted in the State Conservation list.
    • \r\n
  • The site must be truly endangered, suffering from years of neglect, endangered because of a change in circumstances, such as an unsympathetic proposal or it is now for sale and its heritage values are likely to be disregarded.
    • \r\n
  • The research has to be approved by PHT council.\r\n

Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_708" align="aligncenter" width="407"]Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines Governor’s Bungalow, 1, Sepoy Lines[/caption]\r\n

Military History: The bungalow at Sepoy Lines first served as the quarters and mess house of the Commanding Officer of the European troops in Penang circa 1881-1897. The Royal Artillery and European troops moved from Fort Cornwallis to Sepoy Lines in 1881 and it is likely that the bungalow and extensive cluster of ancillary buildings were first built then.

\r\nArchitectural history: The double-storey bungalow is architecturally distinctive with its rounded front porch, deep verandahs and pair of castellated watchtowers wings, indicating its design by a colonial engineer or military engineer.\r\n\r\nAdministrative history: After the withdrawal of European troops from Penang around 1897, the bungalow was converted into a town residence for the Governor. This conversion entailed physical improvements such as the addition of lavish furnishings and fittings and a well-cultivated garden. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was then based in Singapore, and his position encompassed that of the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States. Prior to the conversion of this bungalow into \'Government House\' or the \'Governor\'s Bungalow\', the Governor would stay at Fort Cornwallis whenever he visited Penang. In the early 20th century, this residence accommodated various SS Governors such as Sir John Anderson (served as Governor, 1904-1911), Sir Arthur Young (1911-1920), and Sir Laurence Guillemard (1920-27). After assuming office, the Governor, usually accompanied by his wife, would normally spend a few days at this residence during his compulsory tour of duty of Penang.\r\n\r\nJudicial history: Just before or after the Japanese Occupation, the bungalow began to be used as the Judge\'s Residence until the late 20th century. Some of Penang\'s most notable judges stayed here.\r\n\r\nCondition: The bungalow and its ancillary buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse, 26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_709" align="aligncenter" width="359"]Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse, 26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun Khaw Loh Hup & Khaw Boo Aun’s townhouse, 26, Main Road, Bukit Tambun[/caption]\r\n

Historical Personality 1: Built by Khaw Loh Hup, the father of Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun (1837-1906), after his retirement. Khaw Loh Hup is one of the founders of Han Jiang Ancestral Hall 韩江家庙 in 1864 at 381 Carnavon Street (社尾街381号) (许栳合、王武昌、红声挂、黄遇冬 )+(陈亚苞、李永隆 ). He and his son Khaw Boon Aun were leaders in Tiechiu section of the Ghee Hin triad society.

\r\nHistorical Personality 2: Kapitan Khaw Boo Aun, leader of the Ghee Hin, was appointed to the Perak State Council on 7th October 1886. He started a Straits-born Chinese Club known as Hong Wah in Nibong Tebal. Also, an inaugural member of the Chinese Advisory Board in 1890, principle director of the Kwangtung and Tingchow Public Cemetery Committee, co-founder of the Penang Chinese Town Hall and Seh Khaw Kongsi, sole Asian commissioner in the Commission of Enquiry (1890), Justice of the Peace in 1905.\r\n\r\nArchitectural history: This house is one of the earliest brick houses in Bukit Tambun. It is a Chinese townhouse which served as an ancestral hall. At High Street, Nibong Tebal, Boo Aun left another family residence, which is located near to Boo Aun Lane and Krian River.\r\n\r\nSocial history: Boo Aun Lane is the spot where Ghee Hin boats were secretly launched loaded with men and suppliers for the Larut War.\r\n\r\nIllustrates growth of sugar industry: Under his son Khaw Boo Aun the plantations grew to more than 2000 acres of land in Trans Krian district and planted with sugar cane and tobacco. He founded KauHeng sugar factory高兴糖厂 in Nibong Tebal and Kau Huat sugar mill高发糖厂 in Gula, Kuala Kurau.\r\n\r\nCondition: The townhouse buildings are currently in a severely dilapidated state and it is disgraceful that one side of the bungalow has been allowed to collapse. We urge the government to urgently commission a Heritage Management Plan with a view to its stabilisation, preservation, maintenance and use, while initiating works to stabilize, repair, and ultimately restore the building.\r\n

Chung Thye Phin (1879 – 1935) is the fourth son of the Hakka tin-miner Chung KengKwee. He received his education at St. Xavier’s Institution and he became a well-known miner and planter in Perak. He was made the last Chinese Kapitan of Perak and a member of the Perak State Council.

\r\nChung Thye Phin Road in Ipoh was named after him.\r\n\r\nAccording to his granddaughter Oola goes, "Chung Thye Phin had many residences, some of them mansions, in Penang, Ipoh and Taiping. … He built a summer house on a large estate near Relau and surrounded it with gardens, orchards and fish ponds. However its most striking feature was the fact that it was built around a swimming pool (the first in Penang) in the Roman tradition. This house still exists in its ruined state, now surrounded by high rise 21st century flats.”\r\n
