Kian Aik Chan

Kian Aik Chan (GPS: 4.59563, 101.07932) is a rice-importing shop at 77, Market Street in Ipoh. What makes it significant in history was that it served as the base for the Allied espionage activities during World War II. Eventually however, the Japanese got word of what was going on and they raided the premises, arresting the person in charged of the shop.

As of 2014, the shophouse has been renovated and houses Syarikat Kemajuan Muhibbah.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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