Singapore Road

**Singapore Road** is a short road off Dato' Keramat Road within the George Town city centre It is one of the few roads on Penang Island named after the islands in the Republic of Singapore.

The road was created in the early 20th. century, as George Town was expanding westwards.

## History

As George Town continued to expand at the turn of the 20th. century, several new roads off Dato' Keramat Road were named after the states of the then British Malaya, including the Straits Settlements which composed of Penang, Singapore and Malacca. Hence, a few roads off Dato' Keramat Road, between Convent Dato' Keramat and the Haji Kassim Mosque, were named after the fellow Straits Settlement and its offshore islands.

In 1963, the Federation of Malaysia was formed by a political merger of Malaya, Singapore, North Borneo (now Sabah) and Sarawak. However, Singapore was subsequently ejected from the Malaysian Federation on 9 August 1965 and gained independence as the Republic of Singapore.

## Other Singaporean Street Names in George Town

Four minor roads adjoining Singapore Road were also named after other islands within the Republic of Singapore.

* Brani Road
* Bukom Road
* Tekong Road
* Ubin Road

## Trivia

One of the major roads in downtown Singapore was also named after Penang.

Penang Road runs parallel to a stretch of Orchard Road, Singapore's famous shopping street. Created in 1906, when both Singapore and Penang were under the British Crown Colony of the Straits Settlements, the road was named after the fellow Straits Settlement of Penang.

Jalan Kampung Jawa Lama

**Jalan Kampung Jawa Lama** is a narrow road off Dato' Keramat Road within the George Town city centre. Located east of and running parallel to Jalan Kampung Jawa Baru, this straight road links Dato' Keramat Road to the north with Jalan Timah to the south.

The road was named after a Javanese village that used to exist along the road in the early 19th. century. Later, when a tin smelting facility was opened within the vicinity of the road, the area underwent some development. The influx of Javanese workers brought into the tin smelting facility also extended the Javanese neighbourhood, creating Kampung Jawa Baru.

Today, the site of the former tin smelting plant has been redeveloped into the Penang Times Square.

## Etymology

Kampung Jawa Lama, meaning Old Javanese Village in Malay, was derived from a Javanese settlement that existed within the area in the early 19th. century.

When Javanese workers were brought in to work in the Eastern Smelting plant in the late 19th. century, the Javanese neighbourhood was extended west, creating Kampung Jawa Baru (meaning New Javanese Village in Malay).

## History

A Javanese settlement had been in existence within the area since the early 19th. century.

When a tin smelting facility, to be named later as Eastern Smelting, was established nearby in 1897, Javanese workers were hired from Kampung Jawa Lama. More workers from Java, then under the Dutch East Indies, were also brought in when the facility was expanded. The influx of Javanese workers eventually created Kampung Jawa Baru to the west of Kampung Jawa Lama.

Also, the establishment of the tin smelting plant led to some urban development of Jalan Kampung Jawa Lama. It is still unknown, however, when the Javanese village ceased to exist.

The Eastern Smelting plant was eventually abandoned towards the late 20th. century, as the tin mining industry in Malaysia was dying a slow death. In the early 2000s, the site of the former tin smelting facility was brought by Ivory Properties Group, who subsequently redeveloped the site into the Penang Times Square.

Shiba Kosame

**Shiba Amaya Kosame** *(  斯波雨夜小雨, Shiba Amaya Kosame )*is a main character in the *Doudaimuhi* series. She is the fifth and youngest daughter of the Shiba clan and an aspiring ballet dancer. She is a second-year student at Gakushūin High.

## Appearance

Kosame is a beautiful young woman with creamy skin and an overall slender physique. She has long, dark brown hair that is somewhat wavy and reaches to her waist.

She has a full chest and long, slender limbs that became more prominent after years of ballet. She is petite, and sometimes wears shoes with a slight heel to try and give her an extra leverage.

## Personality

Kosame is usually a reserved and kind individual who holds an extremely perceptive mind that leads her with conflicts about her ambitions and her relationships with people. She has a tendency to be a perfectionist and often believes that she can handle everything in her own, even when it's quite obvious that it's too much for her to bear alone.

Despite being generally benevolent towards everyone, Koko has a tendency to dislike people that she hasn't even met before, simply based on her own judgments and intuition.

She generally supports the decisions of her family and is considered the 'baby' of her siblings, for her obedient and demure nature that pleases her parents and grandparents alike.

When in a difficult or stressful situation, she often complains in private to a friend or loved one whom she strongly trusts, often revealing the 'flawed' side of her that she strives to hide in the favor of wanting to appear 'good' in front of everyone. Sometimes her venting leads to comical situations between her and the others, as she is less prone to think about her words and actions.

Usually when she feels that she has done something wrong, Koko apologizes as soon as possible to the party in which she might have harmed in some way. She abhors feeling unspoken guilt for something she might've caused and has a tendency to brood about her mistakes, often leading to the comical aggravation of her boyfriend.

Towards those she loves, she is entirely selfless and giving, and becomes more honest about her feelings around them that others were not privy to. To her boyfriend Yamanbagiri in particular, Koko adores and has a fervent desire to aid him in whatever problems he faces, knowing full well of his insecurities.
The Cenotaph

**The Cenotaph**, within The Esplanade in the heart of George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a war memorial dedicated to the fallen Allied soldiers of World War 1. The Cenotaph, which was completed in 1929, is one of the several cenotaphs built in British colonies worldwide. Like most of the cenotaphs, the Cenotaph in George Town closely resembles The Cenotaph at Whitehall, London.

The Cenotaph was destroyed by Allied bombers during the Second World War. After the war, it was rebuilt using the remaining original granite blocks and bronze plaques. To this day, the Cenotaph serves as an important venue for the annual Remembrance Day commemorations on 11 November, which marked the day World War 1 ended.

The Penang Veterans Association (PVA) also erected a smaller monument beside the Cenotaph to commemorate the victims of World War 2, the Malayan Emergency (1948-1989) and the Confrontation against Indonesia (1963-1966).

## History

The Cenotaph, which was designed by architects Swan and Maclaren, was unveiled by the Prince of Wales on Remembrance Day (11 November) 1929. The memorial was built to commemorate the Allied servicemen who lost their lives in World War 1. It cost $12,000 (Straits dollar) to complete and its design closely mirrors that of The Cenotaph at Whitehall, London. Indeed, the design of The Cenotaph in London was reproduced elsewhere in the British Empire; many of the cenotaphs built since then in the other British colonies closely resembles The Cenotaph in London.

Towards the end of World War 2, the British Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Force began bombing raids on targets throughout Southeast Asia, including George Town, to weaken the Japanese military based in the region. The Cenotaph was destroyed during one of the Allied bombing raids of George Town.

After the war, the Cenotaph was rebuilt at the cost of $3,500 (Malayan dolalr), using the remaining granite blocks and bronze plaques of the original Cenotaph. Architects led by Charles Geoffrey Boutcher assisted with the reconstruction of the Cenotaph free of charge. The new Cenotaph was unveiled on Remembrance Day (11 November) 1948. It looks slightly different from the original Cenotaph destroyed in World War 2.

The Penang Veterans Association (PVA) also erected a smaller memorial next to the Cenotaph. Unlike the Cenotaph, the memorial commemorates the victims of World War 2, the Malayan Emergency (1948-1989) and the Malaysian Confrontation against Indonesia (1963-1966).

Every November 11, a small Remembrance Day ceremony, attended by military officers, ambassadors, High Commissioners, Penang state government representatives and war veterans, will be held at the Cenotaph.

Kwangtung & Tengchow Association

**Kwangtung & Tengchow Association** is a Cantonese association based at the intersection between Penang Street and Church Street, within George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site. While it had existed since the early 19th. century, the fortress-like Art Deco style association building was only completed in 1941.

The association, originally founded as a joint fraternity between immigrants from Guangdong and Fujian Provinces in southern China, also manages the Mount Erskine Cantonese Cemetery at the Pulau Tikus suburb, and organises the annual Hungry Ghost festivities for its community members.

## History

The land on which the association building now stands was already granted to the Cantonese community as early as 1801. However, the immigrants from the two different Chinese Provinces of Guangdong and Fujian only entered a formal partnership in 1828, and the association finally came into being in the 1920s.

Kwangtung & Tengchow Association then began constructing the current Art Deco style building in 1938, funded by donations from a handful of shop owners and the Cantonese Grocers' Association, which contributed $4,000 (Straits dollar). Designed by Charles Geoffrey Boutcher, who by then had also developed theStandard Chartered Bank Building and the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Building, the stout, fortress-like building was completed in 1941, just before the Japanese Invasion of Penang.

Today, the association runs the Cantonese Cemetery at Mount Erskine, Pulau Tikus, as well as holding the yearly Hungry Ghost festivities for its Cantonese members.

PhilipCapital Building

The **PhilipCapital Building** at the junction between Beach Street and Church Street Ghaut in the heart of George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a whitewashed Art Deco-styled building. Completed in 1921, it now houses the Penang branch of PhilipCapital, a Singaporean financial investment firm.

## History

The whitewashed Art Deco-style building at 29A Beach Street was completed in 1921 in compliance with the widening of the street. Designed and owned by Stark & McNeill, the building is actually much larger, occupying 31 and 33 Beach Street to the south, as well as 2 Church Street Ghaut to the east. The building was partly rusticated on the pilasters and has windows framed by rectangular arches on its first floor.

One of its more prominent occupants was Sandlilands, Buttery & Co. Ltd., a Penangite mercantile firm. At the time, it was active in exporting and importing raw materials and produce from British Malaya, such as rubber, tin and sugar.

The building also once housed a branch of Kwong Yik Bank, a Malayan bank which eventually evolved into RHB Bank.

Today, it is occupied by PhilipCapital, a Singaporean financial investment firm, as well as coffeeshops and cafes.

Schiffman Herr Building

The **Schiffman Herr Building** is one of the colonial buildings that line Weld Quay in the heart of George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built at the turn of the 20th. century, the building now houses the Penang Amazing World Studios, a new interactive photo studio.

Throughout the 20th. century, the German-built Schiffman Herr Building housed a succession of European mercantile businesses.

## History

Construction of the Schiffman Herr Building, named after Schiffmann, Herr & Co., began in 1891 and was completed by 1900. The German company, owned by partners Max Schiffmann and Herr, subsequently occupied the building. Herr later left the company, and Gino Pertile, an Italian who had already established another firm in Singapore, took his place.

In 1908, the firm ran into problems and was liquidated with huge overdrafts. A Scottish firm, Adamson, Gilfillan & Co., then occupied the building. They specialised in the mining industry, importing mining machinery and other miscellaneous goods.

During the post-independence era, the Schiffman Herr Building once housed the Institute of Training and Development.

The building was renovated in the 2010s, and is now the site of the Penang Amazing Studios, which came about as a result of the partnership between Oxtra Capital Sdn. Bhd. and Warner Brothers. The studio, boasting both artistic exhibitions and interactive 3D displays for photography enthusiasts, is one of the newer tourist attractions along Weld Quay.

Penang City Hall

The **Penang City Hall**, a landmark colonial building in the heart of George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site, serves as the seat of the Penang Island City Council. It was formerly the seat of the George Town City Council.

Completed in 1906, the Edwardian Baroque style building presents a strong echo of British colonial rule and is one of the must-see attractions in George Town.

## History

The land where the City Hall now stands was previously occupied by a large residence owned by a merchant, Thomas Halyburton. He then leased the house to the British East India Company to accommodate visiting navy captains. In 1815, it was utilised as the Government Secretary's office. The residence was later known as the *Essex Lodge*.

Construction of the City Hall commenced in 1903 at a cost of $100,000 (Straits dollars). The building was designed in the Edwardian Baroque style, which was the trend at the time.

It was commissioned to relieve the demand for office space at the adjacent Town Hall. Upon its completion in 1906, the George Town Municipal Council quietly moved from the Town Hall into the new City Hall. The new building was originally called the *Municipal Building*, while the Town Hall took on a more social function.

The City Hall was among the first buildings in George Town to be completely fitted with electric lights and fans by the well-known Huttenbach brothers, August and Ludwig.

The *Municipal Building* was renamed City Hall when George Town was granted city status in 1957. Even after the formation of the Penang Island Municipal Council in 1976, the building continued to be known as the City Hall.

In 1982, the City Hall was listed as a national monument. The building underwent renovations in 2004, during which the original arcades and loggias on the ground floor were enclosed with windows.

Since 2015, the City Hall once again serves as the headquarters of the Penang Island City Council.

Polo Ground

The **Polo Ground**, within the western part of George Town proper, is a field located in front of Seri Mutiara, the official residence of the Governor of Penang. It is bounded by Sepoy Lines Road to its north and west, Residency Road along its eastern side and Western Road along its south.

The field has been in use since the late 19th. century, when British Army facilities were moved towards the vicinity. It is now used primarily for recreational and sports activities, as well as the Penang Hot Air Balloon Fiesta every February.

## History

The field was created towards the end of the 19th. century as the new parade ground for British Army units stationed in George Town. At the time, the British Army was in the process of relocating its barracks out of the crowded centre of George Town towards the western edges of the town.

While the Indian *sepoys* were housed in their barracks along Sepoy Lines Road, the Polo Ground was cleared and turned into a military parade ground substituting the *Padang* at The Esplanade in the heart of George Town.

Also, the Polo Ground, as its name implies, was used for polo matches and horse-riding activities during the colonial era. The horses were taken from the nearby Penang Turf Club. To this day, horses can be seen walking occasionally at the Polo Ground.

Due to its proximity to the Penang General Hospital, the Polo Ground has been gazetted as an emergency landing pad for helicopters, enabling military helicopters to airlift casualties to the hospital.

Until the 1990s, when the Polo Ground was finally closed off to vehicles, the field was also a lovers' haunt, where drivers and motorcyclists would bring their lovers to the relatively secluded parts of the field in the evenings. On occasion, cars could be seen stuck in the small trenches surrounding the field, and drivers had to wait until the following morning for help.

Today, the Polo Ground is being primarily used for recreational and sports activities, including football. More recently, it has been chosen as the venue for the annual Penang Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.

Tongkah Road

**Tongkah Road** is a narrow two-way road within the George Town city centre. It runs along the western side of GAMA Supermarket & Departmental Store, linking Dato' Keramat Road to the north with Trang Road to the south.

Located near the former tin-smelting site, which has been redeveloped into Penang Times Square, Tongkah Road was named after a place in southern Thailand where tin used to be imported from.

## Etymology

Tongkah Road was named after a place named Tongkah near Phuket in southern Thailand. Between the late 19th. century and early 20th. century, tin was mined in Tongkah, before being sent to George Town to be smelted into ingots.

The Eastern Smelting facility, located west of Tongkah Road, was where tin from Tongkah was smelted. Today, the former tin smelting plant has been replaced by the Penang Times Square.

## History

Tongkah Road has been in existence since at least the early 20th. century, when tin smelting activities were at full swing within the nearby Eastern Smelting plant.

While the facility was closed in the latter half of the 20th. century, the completion of the adjacent GAMA Supermarket & Departmental Store in the 1980s has turned the road into an ad-hoc parking space for shoppers.

Light Street Roundabout

The **Light Street Roundabout** in the heart of George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site serves as the intersection of four streets - Light Street, Beach Street, King Edward's Place and Jalan Tun Syed Sheh Barakbah. Instantly recognisable by the Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower that stands next to it, the more modern Pinang Fountain has also been erected on the roundabout.

The present roundabout did not came into being until after World War 2. Prior to the war, the four streets simply met at the junction.

## History

The Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower, also known as the Jubilee Clock Tower, was completed near the junction in 1902.

Before World War 2, Light Street, Beach Street, King Edward's Place and Fort Road (now part of Jalan Tun Syed Sheh Barakbah) simply intersected at this junction without a roundabout. Although this posed a potential traffic hazard, traffic at the time was perhaps not as busy, so the British authorities did not seriously consider a roundabout.

It was after the Second World War that the present roundabout was finally created.

In the early 2000s, the Barisan Nasional ruling coalition that governed Penang at the time erected the Pinang Fountain on the roundabout. Although the fountain initially received criticism from most Penangites, it is now accepted as a landmark and part of the landscape in the heart of George Town.

* Pinang Fountain

Fooi Chew Association

**Fooi Chew Association** is a Hakka district association based at Prangin Lane within George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in 1822, the double-storey building is notable for the pair of granite columns, which were carved by the Hakka stone-workers.

## History

Fooi Chew Association was established in 1822 by Lee Hin, who also led the Ghee Hin secret society.

The double-storey building features a pair of granite pillars stretching all the way up its façade. The columns were the handiwork of the Hakka stone-workers, who were well-known for this particular trade within George Town during the 19th. century. The workers were simultaneously members of the *Lean Seng Tong*, a now-defunct association of stone-workers that also built the granite steps of the famous Kek Lok Si Temple in Air Itam.

The building was renovated to its present form in 1905.

Bukom Road

**Bukom Road** is a short road off Singapore Road within the George Town city centre. It is one of the few roads on Penang Island that were named after the islands within the Republic of Singapore.

Like Singapore Road, Bukom Road was created in the mid-20th. century. Today, residential properties and modern shophouses line this minor road.

## Etymology

Bukom Road was named after Pulau Bukom, one of the 63 islands within the Republic of Singapore. Pulau Bukom is located in the Strait of Singapore off the southwestern coast of Singapore.

Since 1891, Shell has been using the island to store fossil fuels; today, Pulau Bukom hosts the largest Shell oil refinery in the world.

Ngah Aboo Lane

**Ngah Aboo Lane** is a very short no-through lane within George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site. It branches out of Kimberley Street and comes to a dead end at the rear of the Central Police Station.

Named after an anti-Dutch nationalist from Acheh, the western side of Ngah Aboo Lane is now occupied by a Chinese prayer paraphernalia maker. A *koay teow thng* stall at the junction with Kimberley Street also attracts a fairly large number of locals.

## Etymology

Ngah Aboo Lane was named after Ngah Aboo, a rich merchant and anti-Dutch nationalist who hailed from Acheh, Sumatra. He found wealth through the pepper trade at the time, which financed the plan hatched by him and seven fellow nationalists in 1874 to smuggle arms to Acheh. 15,000 weapons and 5,000 crates of bullets were to be shipped to the Acheh nationalists fighting the Dutch in the Acheh War.

However, the British authorities in Singapore eventually intercepted the consignment, leading to an arms embargo on Acheh.

## History

Ngah Aboo Lane has been in existence since at least the early 20th. century.

To this day, Bee Chin Heong, a Chinese prayer paraphernalia maker, still occupies the western side of the lane, including the shophouses facing Kimberley Street and a warehouse facing the lane itself.

## Food

\*All prices are quoted in Ringgit Malaysia (RM).

The *koay teow thng* stall at the junction with Kimberley Street comes highly recommended, due to the unique duck meat in the dish instead of the usual chicken. However, the dish is sold at a higher price than most other *koay teow thng* stalls, with a large bowl costing RM 5.

Jean Baptiste de La Salle Memorial

The **Jean Baptiste de La Salle Memorial** at St. Xavier's Institution is a monument honouring St. John Baptist, who founded The Brothers of the Christian Schools, a Roman Catholic educational organisation. As St. Xavier's Institution is one of the schools established by the Brothers, the monument was built for the school in the 1940s.

The monument depicts a standing St. John Baptist teaching two students, a recognition of his role as the patron saint of teachers within the Roman Catholic congregation.

## History

The memorial was erected in honour of St. John Baptist in the early 1940s, made of cast iron. However, St. Xavier's Institution was then destroyed by Allied bombers during World War 2, necessitating the relocation of the monument to the Uplands International School.

In 2002, the monument was returned to the compounds of St. Xavier's Institution, where it has remained ever since. A new granite pedestal costing RM16,000 (Malaysian Ringgit) was constructed for the purpose of the monument's installation.

M Mall 020

**M Mall 020** is the newest shopping mall in George Town. Opened in 2015, the mall actually formed the second phase of the Penang Times Square project.

As with the rest of Penang Times Square, M Mall 020 carries a boxy design. Nonetheless, the mall contains a number of attractions, such as the first wax museum on Penang Island, themed 'streets' at each level depicting different nations and several artistic decorations.

M Mall 020 forms the rear of Penang Times Square at Dato' Keramat Road, facing north.

## History

The first phase of the Penang Times Square project, named *Birch the Plaza*, had been completed in 2009 to the northwest of M Mall 020. However, since its inception, *Birch the Plaza* has been struggling with low tenancy rates, coupled with a lack of shopper traffic due to the very few entertainment options compared to other shopping malls in George Town.

M Mall 020 was conceived as part of the second phase of the Penang Times Square redevelopment project. The second phase was initially named *Birch Regency*, although it is now called the *Ivory Tower* after its developer, Ivory Properties Group. The property is situated at the southern end of Penang Times Square, bounded by the Penang Times Square outdoor plaza to the north, Kampung Jawa Lama to the west and Jalan Timah to the south.

As with the rest of Penang Times Square, M Mall 020 adopts a boxy, squarish design. To keep up with the competition, the developer has included the first wax museum on Penang Island inside the shopping mall, as well as nationally-themed 'streets' at every level (Britain, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Thailand 'streets'). The four-storey shopping mall also contains three floors of internal car parks.

M Mall 020 was officially opened to the public in October 2015.

## Businesses

Perhaps the biggest and newest attraction inside M Mall 020 is the Penang Fun Filled Wax Museum. Opened in February 2016, it is Penang's very first wax museum. Among the celebrities depicted inside the wax museum are Queen Elizabeth II, James Bond, Mr. Bean, Jackie Chan, U.S. President Barack Obama, Steve Jobs and Nelson Mandela.

However, there is a notable absence of major retail and entertainment big names. The new mall currently contains various retail outlets and eateries, many of which are relatively less well-known.

Jubilee Clock Tower

The **Jubilee Clock Tower**, also known as the **Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower**, is the most famous clock tower on Penang Island. Located at the western end of King Edward's Place within the heart of George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site, it was commissioned by a Penang Chinese millionaire, Cheah Chen Eok, to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee (60th. year of her reign) in 1897.

## History

A Penang Chinese millionaire, Cheah Chen Eok, ordered the construction of the Jubilee Clock Tower in 1897, not just to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, but also to show off his wealth in the eyes of the British colonial authorities. To that end, he launched a design competition, which was won by a Mr. Pierce, an engineer working for the George Town Municipal Council.

The height from the base of the tower to the centre of the clock is 60 feet, with each foot representing every year of Queen Victoria's reign. If the cupola at the top is included, the tower is actually 97 feet tall. The clock was imported from Europe and has windows made of opal glass, while the belfry above the clock contained five bells which chimed the Westminster quarters.

However, Queen Victoria would never get to see the clock tower built in her honour. She had never set foot on Penang Island. By the time it was completed in 1902, Queen Victoria had passed away. The tower cost $35,000 (Straits dollar) to construct.

During World War 2, Japanese and Allied aerial bombardments of George Town slightly damaged the clock tower, causing it to tilt to one side. The clock and chimes were repaired after the war.

Lum Foong Hotel

**Lum Foong Hotel** is a double storey heritage building at Muntri Street within George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the 1920s, it served as the original premises of the Penang Adventist Hospital, which is now located at Burmah Road and has become one of Penang's best private hospitals.

Today, Lum Foong Hotel houses a bistro, a Chinese coffee shop and a budget hotel.

## History

In 1924, Dr. Earl Gardner opened the first Seventh-Day Adventist Clinic in British Malaya at the very premises where Lum Foong Hotel now stands.

The poor and the needy were treated free-of-charge, and within 19 days of its opening, the clinic was swarming with over 600 registered patients. By January 1925, there were 1,600 patients in the clinic, and the number grew to 2,000 in February.

As the clinic was becoming overcrowded, a new hospital building was constructed. The building was completed in 1931 and saw its first patients in the following year. However, it was not to last, as the hospital was then moved to Chulia Street in 1939.

The Seventh-Day Adventist Clinic eventually moved to its present premises at Burmah Road within the Pulau Tikus suburb in the 1960s and was renamed Penang Adventist Hospital. The hospital is now one of the premier private hospitals on Penang Island, attracting medical tourists from Malaysia as well as abroad.

Meanwhile, Lum Foong Hotel now houses a budget hotel at its top floor, as well as a Chinese coffee shop and a bistro.

Lim Lean Teng Mansions

**Lim Lean Teng Mansions** is a three-storey office block along the western end of Farquhar Street, within George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also located opposite the Eastern & Oriental Hotel, the building, which was built in the early 20th. century, once housed car showrooms.

The second and third floors feature pilasters which alternate with the windows. As of the time of writing, this plain white building has a somewhat rundown appearance, although renovation works of the ground floor have just been completed.

## History

Lim Lean Teng Mansions was actually by Ho Kim Teik specifically for selling imported car makes. Ho had founded George Town Motors in 1913, selling cars of various brands such as Austin, Mitchell and Empire.

During the 1930s, the second and storeys were utilised as apartments for Europeans who were employed on, or visiting, Penang Island. The upper two floors were eventually abandoned when the Japanese invaded Penang in 1941 and have remained empty ever since.

Until very recently, the ground floor had housed a handful of car showrooms, including Mercedes-Benz and Smart. As of August 2016, the ground floor is vacated as well and has just been refurbished.

Noordin Street Ghaut

**Noordin Street Ghaut** is a seaward extension of Noordin Street within the George Town city centre. It runs between the intersection with Bridge Street and Noordin Street to the west with Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu Expressway to the east.

The street was created in the late 19th. century, when the area was reclaimed from the sea. It was formerly a one-way street which served as an entrance route from the coastal Weld Quay into Bridge Street. Today, it serves as a two-way road to allow traffic in both directions heading into and out of Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu Expressway.

## Etymology

Similar to the adjoining Noordin Street, Noordin Street Ghaut was named after Habib Merican Noordin, an Indian Muslim merchant who arrived in George Town in the late 18th. century. He played an instrumental role in the construction of the Kapitan Keling Mosque, the oldest and most iconic mosque in the heart of the city.

All streets that were extended towards the sea carry the word 'ghaut', which means a flight of steps leading down into the sea. A common feature along India's rivers, ghauts were constructed to allow the offloading of a ship's cargo.

## History

Both Noordin Street and Noordin Street Ghaut were created during the latter half of the 19th. century. Whereas the inland Noordin Street came into being due to the southward expansion of George Town past the Prangin Canal, Noordin Street Ghaut was laid out after the area on which it lies was reclaimed from the sea.

Noordin Street Ghaut was originally created as a one-way street, allowing motorists and pedestrians from the coastal Weld Quay to enter Bridge Street.

This changed after the completion of the Jelutong Expressway (now renamed Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu Expressway) in 1985. Since then, Noordin Street Ghaut has been serving as a two-way road to allow traffic in both directions leading into and out of the expressway.

In the 1970s, the 17-storey Noordin Street Flat was constructed, making it the tallest building in George Town at the time; it was eventually superseded by KOMTAR.

## Religion

A couple of Taoist shrines have been constructed at the Noordin Street Flat by its mostly Chinese residents.

* Poi San Kong Temple
* Heng Len Tuah Temple
