The New Club, Taiping

The New Club, Taiping (4 February, 2006)


New Club Taiping (GPS: 4.85709, 100.74585) is one of the oldest clubs in Malaysia. It was established in 1892 by European members of the Perak Club, a now defunct club that was founded even earlier, in 1885. The site of the New Club dates back to 1894 (which is why the date on the interpretive plaque mentions 1894), and was inaugurated by the Sultan of Perak, Raja Sir Idris Mersedil Aathim Shah.

The New Club holds the distinction of having the first golf course in the Federated Malay States, and the second oldest golf course in Southeast Asia.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
