Jalan Cheah Seng Khim is a minor road in Tanjung Bungah, Penang. It connects with Jalan Tanjung Bungah in the north, and with Jalan Sungai Kelian to the south. In between it forms junctions with Jalan Oldham, Jalan Nyiur Chabang, Jalan Pakawali and Jalan Warburton.

Cheah Seng Khim was a prominent politician in Penang in the 1950s. His father was Cheah Choo Yew (1841-1931) while his grandfather was Cheah Yam @ Cheah Hun Yam, who arrived in Penang in the 1750s, even prior to the founding of the Prince of Wales Island by Captain Francis Light, and had initially settled at Bagan Dalam on the Penang mainland. By the time Penang was established, Cheah Yam has already become a prominent merchant, and he relocated to Penang Island.

Cheah Yam's son, along with other prominent members of the Cheah clan founded the Cheah Kongsi (officially the Cheah Kay Sek Tong Seah Hock Haw Kong Kongsi) in 1858, and with 12,367 Spanish dollars, built the ancestral temple which was completed in 1873.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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