Wisma Fui Chiu, Kuala Lumpur

Wisma Fui Chiu (GPS: 3.14563, 101.69741) is a 4-storey commercial property in the Chinatown of Kuala Lumpur. Built in 1992, it is at the corner of Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock with Jalan Petaling. It belongs to a Hakka clan association that was founded by Kapitan Cina Yap Ah Loy, who was credited with founding Kuala Lumpur.

The name Fui Chiu 惠州 (Pinyin: Huìzhōu) refers to the city in Guangdong Province from where the forefathers of the clansmen originate.

Despite its glorious past, Wisma Fui Chiu seems to be in a state of disused, as of March, 2015. Only the topmost floors are being used by the clan association. According to a report in The Star, the building is in a state of neglect because the owners are in a legal tussle with the lessee.¹
