The Majestic is a historic building in the Singapore Chinatown. It is located along Eu Tong Sen Street between People's Park Complex and Yue Hwa Building.
The Majestic originally housed the Majestic Theatre, which was built by the tin and rubber magnate Eu Tong Sen, who founded the Eu Yan Sang Medical Hall. It was designed by the architectural firm of Swan and Maclaren, which also designed the Yue Hwa Building next door. The Majestic Theatre was completed in 1928, and was originally called the Tien Yien Moh Toi Theatre.
The Majestic Theatre was purchased by Dato Loke Wan Tho of Cathay Organisation from the Eu family in 1956. It continued to operate as a theatre until 1998. It served as a shopping centre for a few years in the early 2000's.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
