George Town Street View: AH QUEE STREET (Lebuh Ah Quee)
Ah Quee Street (Lebuh Ah Quee), is an old street in George Town which is named after Kapitan China Chung Keng Kwee. An influential figure during his time, Kapitan Chung Keng Kwee (also known as ‘Ah Kwee’, hence the street name) presented this street to the local municipality after having demolished his shophouses to make way for the road.
A few murals can be found on the ancient walls of the street such as the popular one by Ernest Zachaveric as shown below;
