Guangzhou Uprising
Sun Yat-sen made Penang the headquarters of the Nanyang Tongmenghui from 1909 to 1911. Among his most important supporters in Penang were Wu Shirong (Goh Say Eng), Huang Jingqing (Ng Kim Kheng) and Chen Xinzheng (Tan Sing Cheng). At this time, the Penang chapter of the Tongmenghui was the most active in Malaya, organising many activities under the cover of the Penang Philomatic Union at 120 Armenian Street (now the Sun Yat Sen Museum Penang). Sun Yat-sen convened the 1910 Penang Conference to plan the Second Guangzhou Uprising, the most important event organised by the Tongmenghui. On 10 December 1910, Sun Yat-sen, Chen Xinzheng and Zhuang Yinan established "Guang Hua Daily" (Kwong Wah Yit Poh). "Guang Hua Daily" was not only an important apparatus paper of the revolutionaries in Malaya, and became the longest running paper in Malaysian newspaper history and Chinese newspaper history around the world. The meaning of "Guang Hua" is "To restore China", and was approved by Sun Yat-sen himself.
