Toon Keng Tong Khoo Kongsi, Beach Street, George Town (22 May 2011)
Khoo Si Toon Keng Tong Kongsi 敦敬堂 (GPS: 5.41237, 100.33563), or Toon Keng Tong Khoo Kongsi, is one of the lesser known branches of the Khoo clan association. It is located along Beach Street, a short distance from the Malay Street Ghaut junction.
The clan association was formed by five Khoo brothers, Cheng Pang, Chneh Pang, Goh Pang, Mooi Pang and Soo Pang, who were the descendants of Kong Teong Kong, who in turn was the 5th generation descendant of Chian Eng Kong, the progenitor of the Khoo clan. Among the most illustrious clansmen from this association include Dato' Seri Khoo Keat Siew, who was the 22nd generation descendant through the Cheng Pang line.

Khoo Si Toon Keng Tong Kongsi occupies a shophouse with an ornately decorated façe. As with nearby Boon San Tong Khoo Kongsi, it is an offshoot of the Khoo clan. While the Khoo clans trace their ancestry to a common progenitor established at Leong San Tong, Khoo Si Toon Keng Tong Kongsi was established by a branch of third-generation descendants.
Khoo Si Toon Keng Tong Kongsi itself is further split into five branches, based on the five founding brothers, namely Yeoh Teik Tong Khoo Kongsi (Chneh Pang), Seow Tek Tong Khoo Kongsi (Cheng Pang), Sin Teik Tong Khoo Kongsi (Goh Pang), Swee Teik Tong Khoo Kongsi (Mooi Pang) and Swee Thong Tong Khoo Kongsi (Soo Pang). Each trustees are drawn from each of the five branches.

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.
