Royal Sungei Ujong Club

Royal Sungei Ujong Club (GPS: 2.73016, 101.94524) is a country club in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. It is located along Jalan Dato Kelana Makmor. Established by British colonialists and planters in 1887, it is the second oldest country club in the country after the Royal Selangor Club. The club was originally located along Bathurst Road, which is now known as Jalan Datuk Hamzah. The British Resident of Sungei Ujong is traditionally appointed as its club president.

Today the Royal Sungei Ujong Club occupies the former Istana Hinggap, which was the home of His Royal Highness, Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the first monarch of Malaysia. The club was bestowed the royal status by Tuanku Jaafar in 2002. His son Tuanku Imran was born in that building.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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