Malaysian Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Malaysian Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Penang is believed to be the earliest chamber of commerce of the Indian community to be established in Malaysia. It was founded in Penang in the 1920's by members of the Indian merchantile community. The community is involved in the trading of spices, rice, textile and other products.

The founding members of the organisation include merchants in the Little India part of George Town, among them Purushottamdass Patel, Himatlal Bhatt, Shivashanar Joshi and H.A. Tyebkhan. The organisation was originally known as the Indian Chamber of Commerce, Penang. It functioned until the Second World War, a time of great upheavel to all the people in Penang, the Indians not excluded.

Today the Malaysian Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Penang, continues to seek opportunities for the Indian community to participate in areas of economic enhancement and development, in Malaysia and particularly in Penang. Its office is located at 119-B Penang Street.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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