Tye Clan Associaton of Penang
Tye Clan Associaton of Penang, or Persatuan Keturunan Tye, is a Chinese clan association in George Town, Penang. It is located at 26 Stewart Lane, a short distance from the Kuan Yin Teng. The association is for people holding the Tye surname, the majority of whom are Cantonese of the Sinleng subdialect group.
As you may have guessed, I am a member of the Tye Clan Association by virtual of my surname. However, I have never involved myself in any of their activities. As with most clan associations, their activities revolve around ancestral veneration. The association also maintains a low profile compared to other clan associations in Penang.
