Loke Mansion, Kuala Lumpur

Loke Mansion, Kuala Lumpur (15 June, 2017)


Loke Mansion (GPS: 3.15832, 101.69657) is a historic bungalow along Jalan Medan Tuanku in Kuala Lumpur. This was the home of the 19th century magnate Loke Yew, who at one time was the richest man in British Malaya.

Loke Mansion, in its original form, was built in 1892. The property which was originally 11 acres in size, was bought by Loke Yew from another Chinese tin miner, Cheow Ah Yoke.¹ It contains Cheow's residence, built around 1860-1862. Loke Mansion, in its present incarnation, dates to 1904. It was renovated and partially restored when it was taken over by the lawyer firm of Cheang & Ariff. The bungalow is shielded from public view by a row of trees.

Other properties associated with Loke Yew include Loke Hall, also in Kuala Lumpur, and Loke Villa in Penang, which was built by Loke Yew's son Alan Loke Wan Wye.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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