Penang Eurasian Association, Pulau Tikus

Penang Eurasian Association (1 March 2009)


Penang Eurasian Association (GPS: 5.43393, 100.31019) is the association of the small community of Eurasians in Penang. It is located at The Heritage House at the very end of Eurasian Close (Solok Serani) off Kelawei Road, in Pulau Tikus, Penang.

The Eurasian Association is a testament to the Eurasians that used to have their village, called Kampung Serani, in the Pulau Tikus district. The Eurasians trace their history back to the second wave of Eurasians to settle in Penang around 1811, when they came over with their leader, Father John Pasqual from Phuket, which was under attack from Myanmar.

The Eurasians had made their home in the vicinity of College General (where Gurney Plaza and the upcoming Gurney Paragon are located today). College General, a seminary for Roman Catholic priests, was founded in Ayutthaya, Siam, as the Seminary of Saint Joseph in 1662 by the Society of Foreign Mission of Paris (Missions Étrangères de Paris, MEP), had in the following centuries been relocated a few times to different sites in the Orient, before settling in Pulau Tikus, Penang.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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