About Leong See Kah Miew

Leong See Kah Miew was founded by people surnamed Leong (or Liang in Mandarin), who hailed from Guangdong. The clan association was established in 1871¹. Six years later, one of its prominent members, Liang Ya Zhong, donated the plot on Muntri Street to the association. The clansmen then rallied amont themselves and managed to raise Straits Dollars $1,549 for the construction of their clan temple.

The old clan temple on Muntri Street was used until 1966, when it was decided that the building has become too run down for repair. The clan then held another fund raising. They managed to raise M$30,000 which went to the purchase of the present 10,494 sqft plot on Perak Road. The Perak Road premises was completed in 1995 and officially opened in 2000.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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