Penang Chinese Union
The Penang Chinese Union Singapore was registered under the Societies Ordinance in 1920. Among its members in 1921 are Mr. Loke Yew Bee (President), Yeoh Cheow Beng, Khoo Siew Jin (Vice-Presidents), Law Yew San (Hon. Secretary), Chun Teong Chai (Asst. secretary), Saw Whee Eang (Hon. Secretary), Neoh Say Eng (Hon. Auditor), Cheah Kong Ee, Cheah Beng Cheang, Tan Chong Chew, Tan Chong Teck, Lim Mah Seang and Lian Kim Siew. It's premises was at 15 Cross Street. From what i can gather, members made of people with close ties to Penang.(by birth, parentage or marriage). Among its patron included Dr. Wu Lien Teh (Dr. Gnoh Lean Tuck). I can only find information of the Penang Chinese Union up to 1929. What happen to it beyond that? |
