Penang Malay Chamber of Commerce Building (GPS: 5.41886, 100.34407) is a high-rise building in George Town, Penang. It is located at the junction between King Edward Place and Beach Street. The 13-storey building was erected on the site that was formerly occupied by the Government Offices, much of which was destroyed by Allied bombings in 1945, with the remaining part being the Islamic Council Building. It is one of the few high-rise buildings in the inner part of George Town, and was built before the inner city became a World Heritage Site and height control was put in place.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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