Tuanku Syed Putra Building

The Tuanku Syed Putra Building is an office building in George Town within the Malaysian state of Penang. Completed in 1962, the building, situated at Downing Street within the city's Central Business District (CBD), is owned by the Malaysian federal government and accommodates the Penang General Post Office (GPO). It once served as the seat of the Penang state government and, until 1966, was the tallest building in George Town. Background Prior to the Japanese invasion in 1941, the U-shaped Government Offices at the junction of Downing and Beach streets functioned as the administrative seat of Penang, then part of the British crown colony of the Straits Settlements. The complex, built in phases between 1884 and 1909, consisted of three two-storey blocks accommodating the Governor's office and various government departments. In 1945, the Government Offices were largely destroyed by Allied aerial bombardment, with only a section (now occupied by the Penang Islamic Council) remaining. After the British recaptured Penang, administrative agencies had to be temporarily relocated to nearby Japanese-built godowns and commercial structures, resulting in inefficiencies in the post-war administration of the colony due to the dispersed offices. As the prospect of independence for the Malayan federation approached, there were proposals for a centralised office block to accommodate both federal and state departments, but plans were put on hold due to a nationwide communist insurgency. History In 1957, the Malayan federal government allocated $1.2 million (Malaya and British Borneo dollar) for the construction of a new government office building as part of the First Malayan Five-Year Plan. The new building was planned for a 1-acre (0.40 ha) site at Downing Street where the destroyed Government Offices had stood. Construction of the new building commenced in 1959 and was expedited to meet a 1961 deadline. The new building, designed in the International style, has a total floor area of 125,000 sq ft (11,600 m2), with the Penang General Post Office (GPO) occupying 35,000 sq ft (3,300 m2) on the ground floor. Office spaces make up 80,000 sq ft (7,400 m2) and the remaining 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) is designated for the staff canteen. Named after the then Malayan King Tuanku Syed Putra, the 10-storey building eventually cost $3.2 million. Upon its completion in 1962, The Straits Times reported that the building "contrasts sharply with the pre-war colonial façades facing the King Edward Place, Weld Quay and Beach Street". It became the tallest building in George Town, surpassing the adjacent HSBC Building in height, and retained this status until 1966 when it was superseded by Hotel Ambassador. In addition to serving as the seat of government in Penang, the building was where the state's Justices of the Peace first organised into an association. Penang's seat of government relocated to the newly completed Komtar in 1986, while the building remains in use by federal government agencies. The Penang GPO was eventually moved to Komtar in 2025.

Sunrise Tower, Penang

Sunrise Tower is an 18-storey condominium within George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang. Located at Gurney Drive within the city's Central Business District (CBD), the building was completed in 1977, becoming the first condominium along the seafronting street and the tallest building in the city prior to the completion of Komtar. History The 18-storey Sunrise Tower was built in 1977. It was the first condominium to be constructed at Gurney Drive and before the completion of Komtar in 1986, was the tallest building in George Town. The building includes a commercial podium, which housed the first McDonald's restaurant in Penang in 1989. The McDonald's outlet ceased operations in 2016 and shortly after, Wendy's opened its first Malaysian restaurant outside the Klang Valley within the same space. However, in 2019, Wendy's announced its withdrawal from the Malaysian market, resulting in the closure of the restaurant at Sunrise Tower. References
City Tower, Seberang Perai

The City Tower, formerly known as MBSP Tower, is the local government headquarters of Seberang Perai within the Malaysian state of Penang. Completed in 2005, it serves as the seat of the Seberang Perai City Council (abbrev. MBSP). History Prior to the construction of the building, the headquarters of the Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP) was a five-storey building at Butterworth. As the local government expanded its workforce and responsibilities, the existing office space became insufficient. In 2001, the city council acquired the present-day 10-acre (4.0 ha) site at Bandar Perda from the Penang Regional Development Authority (PERDA) for RM13.5 million. Construction of the new 16-storey headquarters began in 2002 and was completed by 2005. The city council relocated to the new premises in the following year. The building was renamed City Tower in 2019, following Seberang Perai's ascension to city status that year. The construction of the tower was mired in controversy. Between 2000 and 2007, MBSP's reserves shrank by RM230 million. While the official cost of the tower was RM53 million, allegations arose that MBSP spent RM85 million on the new headquarters. Cost overruns also compelled the developer, associated with the then-ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, to scale down construction to the present-day building. After Pakatan Rakyat (now Pakatan Harapan) gained control of the state in 2008, newly elected Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng initiated investigations into the alleged misappropriation by the local government, which reportedly led to a loss of development funds for the municipality.

Penang Islamic Department Building

The Penang Islamic Department Building is an office building in George Town within the Malaysian state of Penang. Completed in 1909, the building, situated at Downing Street within the city's Central Business District (CBD), is the only remaining remnant of the much larger Government Offices complex, the administrative seat of Penang under the Straits Settlements, which was largely destroyed by Allied bombing in World War II. It now accommodates the Penang Islamic Department. History Between 1883 and 1889, land was reclaimed along George Town's eastern coast, creating what is now Weld Quay. This newly created land enabled the Straits Settlements government to construct the U-shaped Government Offices along King Edward Place, Weld Quay and Beach Street. Construction of the two-storey Neoclassical-style Government Offices occurred in several phases. The first wing along King Edward Place was built from 1884 to 1889. This was followed by an eastern extension along Weld Quay. The second phase included the construction of the Beach Street wing, which housed the Land Office, between 1890 and 1891. The Weld Quay wing was extended southward to Downing Street from 1901 to 1903. From 1907 to 1909, the Beach Street wing was also extended southward to Downing Street. The local media at the time characterised the new extension as "abnormally hideous" and "abominations" built by "gallant but inartistic builders". After its completion, the Government Offices became the seat of government in Penang, housing the Governor's office, the General Post Office (GPO) and various government departments. In 1945, the Government Offices were largely destroyed by Allied aerial bombardment, with only the last constructed section along Beach Street surviving. After the British retook Penang, government departments had to be temporarily relocated to nearby godowns and commercial structures. In 1962, the administrative seat of Penang was officially moved to the Tuanku Syed Putra Building. The remaining section of the Government Offices currently houses the Penang Islamic Department, a state government agency responsible for Islamic affairs within Penang. References

Foo Tye Sin Mansion

The Foo Tye Sin Mansion is a mansion in George Town within the Malaysian state of Penang. Built in 1875, the building is situated at Light Street within the city's Central Business District. It was originally the residence of Chinese tycoon Foo Tye Sin. In 1986, the building was acquired by MUI Group, and it currently serves as a branch of Hong Leong Bank. History By the late 19th century, Light Street served as the administrative centre of Penang and was characterised by its distinct European influence. The Foo Tye Sin Mansion, completed in 1875, was one of the first non-European mansions built along the street. The residence was erected for Foo Tye Sin, a local Chinese tycoon who contributed as a community leader during the official inquiry into the 1867 Penang riots. In recognition of his service, British administrators named a street after him. The building was acquired by MUI Group in 1986 and subsequently became a branch of MUI Bank. In 1994, ownership was transferred to Hong Leong Bank following its acquisition of MUI Bank. A budget of RM2 million was allocated for the restoration of the building, which was completed by 2010. Further renovations took place between 2022 and 2024, during which the building's façade was painted light blue.

Zion Riverside Food Centre

Zion Riverside Food Centre is a hawker centre in Tanglin, at the intersection Zion Road and Alexandra Canal. Popular dishes at the hawker centre include char kway teow, Singaporean hae mee, and Hainanese chicken rice. History Zion Road Food Centre (1976–2003) Construction began in early 1976 at a cost of S$289,000. After about six months of construction, Zion Road Food Centre opened on 1 October 1976, housing 34 stalls. Most of the hawkers that moved in previously sold along the river near Great World Amusement Park. Announced on 19 September 1989, the Ministry of Environment chose Zion Road Food Centre as one of the first five hawker centres to be equipped with self-flushing urinals to keep public toilets clean. Other appliances such as hand dryers and soap dispensers were also installed. The new systems were installed in 1990. On 16 February 1990, Soh Siong Yang, a 10-year-old student from Delta Primary School, drowned in the canal beside the hawker centre. After purchasing beer and stout from the hawker centre, Soh proceeded to consume the drinks with his friends. Upon seeing some crabs crawling along the canal, Soh and his friends attempted to catch them by climbing down into the canal. However, the bank was slippery and the waves swept Soh into the canal, causing him to drown. Soh was rushed to Singapore General Hospital, but he was already dead upon arrival. The hawker who sold the beer and stout to the boys was also investigated by the police. During the coroner's inquest, it was identified that Soh was unable to swim, and the verdict was misadventure. After the incident, there were calls for stiffer action and harsher penalties to those who sell alcohol illegally to minors. The Straits Times conducted a test to see how easy it was to purchase alcohol as a minor, and during the test at different hawker centres and coffeeshops, five out of eight stalls sold beer to an underage primary school student. The hawker centre closed on 26 September 2002 to undergo major renovations. Some hawkers relocated to the nearby hawker centre at 86 Zion Road. Zion Riverside Food Centre On 1 April 2003, Zion Road Food Centre reopened as Zion Riverside Food Centre, with 32 stalls. A tray return system trial began, but shortly stopped after six months as most patrons wanted cleaners to clear their trays instead. On 16 September 2008, Senior Parliamentary Secretary Amy Khor announced plans to revive the tray return system by the end of 2008; however, the trial was unsuccessful again. On 11 September 2012, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Vivian Balakrishnan announced plans to revive the system again by the end of 2012. Most patrons made the effort to clear their tables, but there were still some patrons who only cleared their tables after reminders from volunteers. Zion Riverside is home to two Bib Gourmand stalls, namely No. 18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow and Zion Road Big Prawn Noodles, awarded in 2023 and 2018, respectively.

Seah Im Food Centre

Seah Im Food Centre is a hawker centre in Bukit Merah, located along Seah Im Road. The hawker centre is directly connected to HarbourFront Bus Interchange and HarbourFront MRT station. History In 1975, the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) acquired land in Seah Im Road to develop the port, and in 1983, construction of Seah Im Food Centre began. Situated opposite the World Trade Centre (now known as HarbourFront Centre), the hawker centre opened in November 1984 with a total of 46 stalls. In the beginning, most stalls served Indian and Muslim dishes, such as nasi padang and murtabak. Tenders were published to invite more hawkers to occupy vacant stalls and sell Chinese dishes, such as wonton noodles and char kway teow. From 1987 to 1990, tenders for non-food stalls were published. Permitted items to be sold included rental of video tapes, flowers, and souvenirs. Upon the privatisation of PSA, the hawker centre was returned to the state in 1997, and managed by the Singapore Land Authority. Along with the opening of the HarbourFront MRT station, Seah Im completed refurbishment works and reopened in June 2003. On 1 September 2022, the hawker centre was closed for major renovations. As the renovations were expected to last for 6 months, some hawkers chose to retire, while others decided to rest or focus on their other stalls. As part of the renovation, the tiles were replaced, and the ceiling was raised higher. On 13 March 2023, Seah Im reopened with 44 cooked food and drink stalls, and 16 non-food stalls. Another six cooked food stalls and 10 non-food stalls were vacant and became available for bidding from April 2023. Present day Seah Im Food Centre is known for having affordable prices, serving officer workers, tourists and residents in the vicinity. While most hawker centres in Singapore are managed by the National Environment Agency, the hawker centre remains as the only hawker centre managed by the Singapore Land Authority.
