Chung Thye Phin Building (Bangunan Sztolee)

Bangunan Sztolee, Ipoh (19 August, 2006)


Chung Thye Phin Building (GPS: 4.59682, 101.07723), nowadays called Bangunan Sztolee, is a historic building in Ipoh Old Town. It is located at the junction of Jalan Sultan Yusuf and Jalan Dato Maharajalela (Station Road). The building was named after Kapitan Cina Chung Thye Phin, the last Kapitan Cina of Perak. It was built in 1907. For much of its early years, it was associated with the medical industry, playing the roles of dispensary and medical hall.

The medical hall was established by Dr R.M. Connolly, who served the colonial government in the early 20th century before going into private practice. He was also the founder of the Perak Anti-Opium Society and once served as editor of the Times of Malaya.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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