Heah Joo Seang
Heah Joo Seang (连裕祥 ''Lian Yuxiang''; 1899–1962) was a Malayan politician, business leader, rubber magnate, philanthropist and especially a supporter of education. Malaysia, as it has since become, only existed after Joo Seang's death. His contributions span three distinct periods in the country's history: the British Malaya period, the Malayan Union period, and the Federation of Malaya period.
==Personal life==
The son of Heah Ah-Kia (or Heah Ah Kiah),〔The Straits Times, 24 March 1950, Page 4〕〔Yoshihara 1988, 204〕 Joo Seang was born in Sungei Nibong Kechil, a small village in Province Wellesley, Penang on 2 November 1899.〔Pamela Ong, "Fortitude: The life and times of Heah Joo Seang" 2014 page 13.〕
Heah Joo Seang began his education at a Chinese school in his hometown. Later on, he was sent to live in Georgetown, Penang. His uncle, Heah Lye Hiang, registered him to study in St. Xavier's Institution, a Christian missionary school, founded in 1852. He sat for, and passed the Cambridge School Certificate when he was only fourteen years old. Later on in life, when Joo Seang became successful in business, and gain prominence in politics, SXI (as the school is popularly known to the local people) benefited from his generosity. His legacy and association with the school was forever engraved in its history, when the school auditorium (fully funded by him) was named after him. For him to have contributed so willingly, he must have felt a deep sense of gratitude towards his alma mater.〔Pamela Ong, "Fortitude: the life and times of Heah Joo Seang" 2014 page 14-15〕
His working life began as a clerk in his uncle Heah Lye Hiang's tapioca mill, earning $40 a month.〔Lee & Chow 2007, 50–51〕〔The Straits Times, 25 February 1951, Page 15〕〔The Straits Times, 23 December 1952, Page 14〕
