Chung Thye Phin
Kapitan Chung, Thye Phin (), MSC, JP (1879–1935) was a wealthy Malayan tin miner and rubber planter〔Chinese Business in Southeast Asia: Contesting Cultural Explanations by Edmund Terence Gomez, Hsin-Huang Michael Hsiao, Page 169〕〔The Straits Times, 10 September 1925, Page 8 -- Capitan Chung Thye Phin has sold his largL- rubber estate, situated m Sungei Siput, for an amount exceeding $700,000, the, purchasers being Messrs. Barlow and Co., Kuala Lumpur. The Times of Malaya understands that the sale was put through by a well known Chinese business man of Penang.〕〔He was appointed a member of the Federation Malay States Rubber Restriction Committee in 1922 - The Straits Times, 28 October 1922, Page 8 National Library of Singapore microfilm reel NL499〕〔The rise of ersatz capitalism in South-East Asia - Page 203〕 of Hakka ancestry who was raised on the island of Penang in the state of the same name in Malaysia, known at that time as British Malaya. He pioneered the cultivation of Roselle for the production of Roselle fibre rope and twine, his initial effort including the Sweet Kamiri Estate in Sungei Siput.〔The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser (1884-1942), 2 September 1922, Page 11 -- NEW MALAYAN INDUSTRY. -- That success is attending the efforts of planters who several months ago went in for Roselle fibre is evident from a notice appearing in the advertisement columns of our Ipoh contemporary, announcing that at the present time rope made of this fibre can be obtained at 24 cents per lb, F.O.R. Sungei Siput! The advertisement states that not only are "all sizes of rope up to 3 1/2 inch circumference in stock," but that the Manager of Sweet Kamiri Estate, Sungei Siput, is prepared to supply "any larger size" to order. Credit in this connection for most praise-worthy enterprise, for thus setting an excellent example to the general public, is, if we mistake not, due to Mr. Chung Thye Phin, the Captain China, who was among the first, if not the very first, to invest in this kind of producct, making his initial effort at Sweet Kamiri Estate, Perak, many months ago. Since then, as was mentioned in our columns recently scores of planters in all parts of the Peninsula have gone in for Roselle fibre, the prospects of this useful commidity figuriing regularly among our exports before very long being excellent. For twine and rope-making it is admirably adapted and as the plant flourishes in Malaya and native labour is cheap there is no reason why the manufacture of rope in Malaya should not become just as important an industry in the near future as that of the enteerprising China Clay and Pottery Company, of Gopeng, for which Messrs McAlister
* Co., Ltd., are, the local agents. (S. Echo.)〕 He was a member of the Perak Advisory Board and the last ''Kapitan China'' of Perak and Malaya.〔The Straits Times, 5 October 1903, Page 5, National Library of Singapore microfilm reel NL294〕〔DEATH OF CAPITAN CHUNG THYE PIN. One Of Malaya's Pioneer Motorists, The Straits Times, 1 April 1935, Page 15〕 At the time of his death he was said to have been the wealthiest man in Penang.〔The Straits Times, 31 March 1935, Page 1, National Library of Singapore microfilm reel NL2360〕 There was a big turnout at his funeral in Penang (7 April 1935) including many prominent personalities from the Federated Malay States and the Straits Settlements and the funeral procession was a quarter of a mile long.〔The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser (1884-1942), 8 April 1935, Page 3 -- FUNERAL OF CHUNG THYE PHIN -- Penang, 5 Apr.. -- THE funeral of Capitan Chung Thye Phin, which took place from his residence, 58, Northam yesterday morning, was attended by nearly 500 friends and relatives, some of whom had come from Ipoh, Taiping and Kuala Lumpur. There were approximately 200 mourners, including the deceased's wives, children, and grandchildren. The procession was a quarter of a mile long. Innumerable Chinese banners, Chinese priests, the Municipal Band, and Boys Scouts from the Second Penang (A.C.S.) Troop, under S.M. Yeoh Seng Chan, former the almost unending train, which was brought up in the rear by the coffin and finally the mourners and followers. Many prominent local and outstation men were present including Hon. Mr. Palgrave Simpson, Mr. Leong Sin Nam, Mr. Cheah Cheang Lim, Dato Panglima Kinta and Mr. Heah Joo Seang. The procession started shortly after 11 a.m., proceeding down Northam Road into Transfer Road and Sri Bahari Road, to come out into Penang Road. The train broke up at the junction of Burma and Penang Roads, from where the coffin was borne up to Bagan Jermal for burial in a private piece of land in the estate of the late Cheang Keng Kwee. After the burial ceremony was over at the grave side, the procession proceeded home.〕
