Lee Joo For Retrospective
Sun Yat Sen In Penang
Author: Khoo Salma Nasution
The Second Guangzhou Uprising (also called the Canton March 29 Uprising), a turning point of the 1911 Chinese Revolution, was planned from a place 2,400 km away – in Penang in present-day Malaysia.
As a young revolutionary, Dr Sun Yat Sen travelled widely and lived amongst the Chinese communities abroad, including Japan, North America and Southeast Asia. He mobilised the overseas Chinese with the dream of saving the Chinese nation.
In 1910, when success seemed most remote, Dr Sun turned to his followers in Penang. The Penang Philomatic Union became the Tongmenghui party's Nanyang Headquarters, raising funds and fighting for the Second Guangzhou Uprising and acting decisively to help consolidate the Xinhai Revolution.
