Silver Jubilee Home for the Aged, Penang

Tweet

The Silver Jubilee Home for the Aged is a home for senior citizens located in Sungai Dua, Penang. It was founded in 1935 to commemorate the 25th anniversary (or silver jubilee) of the coronation of King George V, who reigned from 1910 to 1936. The Silver Jubilee Home occupies a 22.5 acre site donated by local philanthropist Cheah Leong Keah, J.P. A sum of 1 million Straits Dollars was raised by the Straits Settlement Government, the Municipal Council of George Town, and the general public, for the setting up of the home. A trust fund was established under the name of the Penang and Province Wellesley Silver Jubilee Fund. Donations for the Home were also received from several other local philantropists. Among them, Khoo Sian Ewe donated four cottages in memory of his wife, the late Mdm. Lee Sim Neoh. The Kew Leong Tong Lim Kongsi also donated four cottages.
