Woman Construction Workers Mural

Woman Construction Workers Mural (1 June 2013)


The Woman Construction Workers Mural (GPS: 5.41219, 100.3319) is a pair of wall murals gracing the side walls of Hui Aun Association, along Magazine Road, in George Town, Penang. The mural honours woman construction workers who formed a significant proportion of the members of the Hui Aun Association.

Woman construction workers were blue-collar workers who provided an important contribution to the local construction industry, right up to the mid-1970s. Many of these China-born women worked tirelessly and contributed in the construction of residential as well as commercial properties in Penang. Though some eventually returned to China, many married local men and are now part of the local Chinese community. The murals at Hui Aun Association attempts to celebrate their industry as well as their grace.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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