Seri Teratai, Macalister Road, George Town (18 February 2013)
Seri Teratai is the name of the official residence of the Chief Minister of Penang. Built in 1926, it is located along a leafy section of Macalister Road, across from St George's Girls School.
Seri Teratai was previously called Rumah Tetamu, and was renamed following the renovation works conducted during the term of former Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng. Seri Teratai was the venue of the Chinese New Year Open House hosted by Mr Lim in 2009. Mr Lim stayed in the house for a short period before moving to his present residence on Pinhorn Road. This is due to termite infestation at Seri Teratai, and the repairs to make the home habitable is deemed too costly.

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.
