1, Penang Road (5 August 2011)


1, Penang Road (GPS: 5.42263, 100.33547) is a historical building along Upper Penang Road, Penang. It is one of the properties of Boon Siew Sdn Bhd, although only part of the façade was retained. 1 Penang Road today houses MOIS Club, a dance club.

1 Penang Road is believed to have been the residence of Madam Chen Cui-fen, the second wife³ (other sources puts it as the fouth wife and some as his mistress) of Dr Sun Yat-sen (the other wives being Lu Muzhen, Kaoru Otsuki and Soong Ching-ling).¹ Madam Chen stayed at 1 Penang Road in 1912, after she returned with Dr Sun from Macau, where his first wife Lu Muzhen had a home. The house in Macau is today the Sun Yat-sen Memorial House.

According to Adam Vancouver², the house was built by the early 20th century millionaire Khoo Sian Ewe, who called it townhouse. It was to replace his house Sun Beam at Light Street which was destroyed by World War II bombing.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
