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.
The Penang Malay Chamber of Commerce Building is mainly known as the premises of the Penang Inland Revenue Board, aka the Income Tax Department, or Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Pulau Pinang. It faces the Light Street Roundabout, which the betel-nut sculpture.

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.
