Latar Belakang / Sejarah

In 1828, the Koong Har Tong Temple was built in Lebuh Penang with the full support of the Wong clan. In 1911, members of the Wong Clan developed statutes to better strengthen the organisation of the clan association. During the Second World War the entire temple was destroyed by bombing, and after the war, clan members from all over Malaysia gave their support for its reconstruction. Finally in 1963, a celebratory ceremony was held to celebrate the 135th anniversary of the foundation of the temple as well as its reconstruction. It took the Koong Har Tong Society three years to compile and print the genealogy of the Wong clan and a special anniversary issue of this was published in 1970. A scholarship and grants subcommittee was formed in 1970 to manage the education fund for the children of the members of the Wong clan. A Koong Har Tong Society Chinese Orchestra existed from 1974 till 1982, and the performances by the clan members received good reviews. Unfortunately the orchestra was discontinued due to a lack of members. In 1988, the temple underwent a second restoration and commemorated its 160th anniversary on a grand scale.
