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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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