This Hakka tin-miner’s clubhouse was founded by China-born tin-miner Leong Fee alias Liang P’i Joo (1857- 1911), a Kar Yin Hakka. His son, Leong Yin Khean alias Liang En-Chuen, continued to sponsor the lodge, then sold the house cheaply to the club. The elegant three-story building and its tasteful furnishings date from 1929. Leong Fee’s Tambun Mines was one of the first Chinese mines to employ Western management and Technology. Leong was Vice­ Consul of the Chinese Government in Penang (1901-1907), a Federal Councillor and a member of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.
