Clan Associations in Malaysia

Chinese immigrants from Fujian province arriving in Malaya often formed clan associations to look after the welfare of clansmen and also to venerate their ancestors and worship their patron deities. There are many clan associations and their temples in Malaysia, particularly in major cities like Penang. On this page I list out the clan associations by state.

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.
