Weld Quay Street View
Weld Quay (or Pengkalan Weld) is the eastern coastal road of George Town that stretches from the Penang Port area all the way through the clan jetties to the Prangin Canal area. It is one of the earliest roads built in Penang during the 1800s after a land reclamation was completed at that time. It can be considered the sea transportation hub of Penang where the ferry terminals, and various port facilities are located.

George Town Street View: Tye Kee Yoon Road
Tye Kee Yoon Road (Jalan Tye Kee Yoon) is a small road of Brick Kiln Road (or Gurdwara Road) in George Town. It was named after Tye Kee Yoo who became one of the richest Chinese immigrants in Penang during the 1800s. Arriving in Penang without any money, he worked hard and eventually became one of the largest property owners back then.
Like other similar Chinese tycoons during that era, Tye Kee Yoon had provided contributions to the Penang local community that included the establishment of schools and hospitals such as Penang Free School and Adventist Hospital.
