KEE ANN ROAD IS MORE THAN 100 YEARS OLD

 

100 OLD YEARS KEE ANN ROAD

Kee Ann Road was built in 1920 or earlier by land donated by Mr. Seet Kee Ann. He was one of 4 Chinese towkays  who sat in the Malacca Municipality then.

 A map of Malacca in 1920 showed us that this road was already built but no name was given. 

When Mr. Seet Kee Ann passed away in 1924, he was honored by his contribution to the people of Malacca by naming the road after him, Kee Ann Road. 

In 1930 onwards, the Malacca Municipal General market was built at the end of the road. Buildings were also constructed on the sides of the road. 

Our ancestral shop house is still located here. Another building,  a cinema named Eldora later New Railto and Lido cinema  was located here. 

A 1945 map showed us this development then.
