Lister Memorial Arch

Lister Memorial Arch, Kuala Pilah (9 July, 2016)


Lister Memorial Arch (GPS: 2.74175, 102.24847) is a memorial erected to honour Martin Lister, the British Resident of Negeri Sembilan. Lister arrived in Malaya in 1883, and took up the position as Revenue Collector for the British in 1886. At that time, the state was known as Sri Menanti Federation.

Lister was instrumental in bringing an end to clan riots between the various groups of Chinese miners in the area. The arch honouring him was erected in 1897, possibly after he had passed away that same year, having contracted blood poisoning. He died as his ship was passing through the Suez Canal, on its way to England.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
