The grand Chinese-style courtyard mansion of Kee Lai Huat, known as
Kee Poh Huat Kongsi, is still standing in the village of Sungai Bakap.
The settlement is today Sungai Bakap got its name from the river that flows through the area. That river, also called Sungai Bakap, is still there. It is cross by both the main road, Jalan Sungai Bakap, as well as the North-South Expressway. It is a tributary to
Sungai Jawi.
