Tun Hussein Onn Memorial is a memorial to the second Prime Minister of Malaysia, the late Tun Hussein bin Dato' Onn. The memorial was officially opened by the fourth prime minister, Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, on 10 February, 2006.
The Tun Hussein Onn Memorial preserves the former Kompleks Perdana, the building that was the prime minister's office during the administration of Tun Abdul Razak (1970-76), Tun Hussein onn (1976-81) and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (1981-99), before the office relocated to Putrajaya.
The Tun Hussein Onn Memorial comprises three levels. On Level 2 of the complex is the family tree of Tun Hussein Onn, with details of his father Dato Onn bin Jaafar, who was one of the founders of UMNO (United Malay National Organisation), and his grandfather Dato' Jaafar Muhammad, who was the first Menteri Besar of Johor. Level 3 provides an introduction to the history of the Prime Minister's Department complex, its function and objective, and some information on the prime ministers who have worked there.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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