Istana Negara :Agong's Palace ament

bluezink

pelbagai peristiwa telah berlaku di istana lama itu yang pada asalnya sebuah banglo yang  dibina pada 1928 oleh pemilik asalnya iaitu seorang jutawan dari China, Chan Wing.

Bagaimanapun, sejak tercetusnya Perang Dunia Kedua yang menyaksikan negara ini ditawan Jepun, banglo yang telah ditinggalkan jutawan berkenaan digunakan sebagai mes Pegawai Tentera Jepun selama empat tahun bermula 1942 sehinggalah 1945.

Sejurus tamatnya perang itu, banglo tersebut telah bertukar tangan kepada British Military Administration (Malaya) yang menjadikannya sebagai mes pegawai kanan British pada 1946.

Kemudian  ia bertukar milik kepada Kerajaan Negeri Selangor apabila dibeli dan diubahsuai sebagai sebuah istana untuk Sultan Selangor ketika itu, Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah.

Istana itu kemudian bertukar milik sekali lagi apabila kerajaan Persekutuan membelinya pada harga RM1.4 juta pada tahun 1957 untuk dijadikan tempat bersemayam Yang di-Pertuan Agong yang pertama, Tuanku Abdul Rahman Tuanku Muhammad beberapa minggu sebelum pengisytiharan kemerdekaan.

The palace was originally a double-storey mansion built in 1928 by a local Chinese millionaire,Chan Wing. During the Japanese occupation from 1942–1945, it was used as the Japanese officers’ mess. After the surrender of the Japanese, the building was bought by the Selangor State Government. It was then renovated to become the palace of His Majesty the Sultan of Selangor until 1957.

The Federal Government then bought the palace in 1957, to be converted into the Istana Negara for the newly created sovereign post

of Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaya which was about to achieve independence that August as scheduled. Since then it has undergone several renovations and extensions. But the most extensive upgrading was carried out in 1980, as it was the first time that the Installation Ceremony of His Majesty DYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong was held at the Istana Negara. Prior to this the Installation Ceremonies were held at the Tunku Abdul Rahman Hall in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur with the first one held in 1957.

Istana ini terletak di Jalan Istana bertentangan dengan Jalan Syed Putra, suatu kawasan seluas 28 ekar atau 11.34 hektar di tepi bukit Petaling di Kuala Lumpur yang menghadap Sungai Klang.
Bangunan ini pada asalnya sebuah banglo yang telah dibina pada tahun 1928 dengan harga RM150,000 dan dahulunya adalah rumah kediaman seorang jutawan dari China, iaitu  Chan Wing.

It was once the home of a Chinese immigrant who made his money in tin mines and other businesses. Chan Wing built the huge house to accommodate his large family, including his 26 wives, whom he brought to Kuala Lumpur from Hong Kong in the 1920s.

According to the book, From Poor Migrant to Millionaire Chan Wing 1873-1947, written by Chan King Nui, the eighth daughter of Chan Wing, the house (now Istana Negara) was the scene of big celebrations including Chinese New Year.

During World War II, the Chan family fled to India and only returned after the war. Often referred to as “the house on the hill”, Istana Negara was acquired by the British Army for the Royal Airforce (R.A.F.) after the war.

who is Chan Wing?, "from Poor migrant to Millionaire"

Chan King Nui in 2000; now 93, Chan’s book on her father’s rise from coolie
to millionaire

"Father had already purchased 13 acres (five hectares) of land at Taylor Road in Kuala Lumpur.

"He engaged the well-known architects, Swan and McLaren, to design the biggest house in Malaya."

daripada PENDATANG MISKIN kepada JUTAWAN.. anak Chan Wing tulis buku neh..waris mereka yg skrg adlah pemilik The Mines di KL.. sekarang mereka seme  da jadik rakyat Australia masa kena serang dengan nipponn dulu

sos:Chan Wing

Chan Wing- arrived in Malaya in 1887 as a coolie- struck it rich with the opening of the Hong Fatt Tin Mine in Sungai Besi.
He has in total 26 children with 9 wives .
Chan Wing was a staunch believer in the teachings of Confucious and accordingly, the lifestyle of the time was that many Chinese men took a few wives because they wanted sons to carry on the family lineage.
When he first came with his family to KL from HongKong in 1918, they lived in a house on Weld Road, the present Jln Raja Chulan.

Being a busines man, he even ventured into rubber plantations. He was attributed to be one of the founding members of the Kwong Yik Bank in 1913.
A good indication of his wealth and stature would be in 1922, his car was commandeered for use during the visit by the Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VIII of England.  Possession of a car was a rare feat during those days.

Weld Road house became too small for his growing family. He purchased a 13acres piece of land and engage well known architecks Swann & McLaren to design "the biggest house in Malaya" then .  1929- he moved into the "Big House" wih his family.

2nd World War- the family fled to Cameron first, then subsequently fled to India where they waited out the war in Mussorie in India, till March 1946.
He later passed away 1947, at the age of 74..........

as narrated by Chan Wing's 8th child- daughter Chan King Nu
