Silver Jubilee Home For The Aged (20 October 2012)


The Silver Jubilee Home for the Aged (GPS: 5.34196, 100.29867) is a home for senior citizens located in Sungai Dua, Penang. It was founded in 1935 to commemorate the 25th anniversary (or silver jubilee) of the coronation of King George V, who reigned from 1910 to 1936.

The Silver Jubilee Home occupies a 22.5 acre site donated by local philanthropist Cheah Leong Keah, J.P. A sum of 1 million Straits Dollars was raised by the Straits Settlement Government, the Municipal Council of George Town, and the general public, for the setting up of the home. A trust fund was established under the name of the Penang and Province Wellesley Silver Jubilee Fund.

Donations for the Home were also received from several other local philantropists. Among them, Khoo Sian Ewe donated four cottages in memory of his wife, the late Mdm. Lee Sim Neoh. The Kew Leong Tong Lim Kongsi also donated four cottages.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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