Lebuh Ah Quee, George Town

Ah Quee Street today (22 November 2008)


Lebuh Ah Quee ; English: Ah Quee Street; Penang Hokkien: Ah1 Kwee1 Kay1 ) is one of two streets in George Town named after Kapitan China Chung Keng Kwee. It was presented by the Kapitan to the Municipality of George Town around the turn of the 20th century. To create the street, Kapitan Chung Keng Kwee, who was also known as Ah Quee, had his shophouse fronting Beach Street demolished.

Ah Quee Street runs from Beach Street to emerge at Pitt Street (Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling) opposite Buckingham Street. It ran through a Malay village that used to be there, called Kampung Takia, and for that reason, it was initially known as Lorong Takia.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
