This
mansion is the home of Tunku
Abdul Rahman
(1903-1990) before he passed away. Bought by a new owner, the heritage
residence is painstakingly restored to rediscover its beauty and quiet
elegance. Tunku
Abdul Rahman
became the first Prime Minister of Malaysia in 1957. The
prince of Kedah who negotiated the country’s independence, is remembered as the
country’s father, Bapa Malaysia. This
house, built in 1929, was a fortuitous encounter during his preparation for
retirement. He later bought this house and chose to spend his last years in
Penang. He named this house ‘takdir’, which means fate, after reflecting on
the circumstances that made him bought this house. The road on which he lives
was eventually renamed after him.
