Final Lee Rubber Assignment

BSES3189: INTEGRATED PROJECT IV

1.0 Introduction

Kuala Lumpur is the capital city of Malaysia. It is defined within the borders of the

Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and is one of three Malaysian Federal Territories.

Kuala Lumpur lies midway along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Kuala

Lumpur by far is the largest city in Malaysia. It represents the heartbeat of Malaysia,

serving as its cultural, commercial and transportation centre. It all began when in the

Middle of the 19th century when a group of tin prospectors came to settle around the

convergence of the Klang and Gombak River. This marked the foundation of Kuala

Lumpur and its share of growth and setbacks to become metropolitan centre of

today. Malays, Chinese and Indians comprise the main races among others in this

multicultural backdrop. This ethnic diversity has shaped the city over the years and is

clearly seen in the various cultural customs and religious belief, as well as

languages, cuisines and architecture. Kuala Lumpur has a rich legacy of historic

buildings. Fielden, 2000 point out that historic buildings is one that gives a sense of

wonder and attract people to know more about people and culture that produced it. It

is important to conserve and preserve historic buildings because they provide a

sense of identity and continuity in a fast changing world for future generations.

The architecture of Kuala Lumpur is blend of old colonial influences, Asian traditions,

Malay Islamic inspirations, modern, postmodern architecture mix. Prior to Second

World War, many shop houses, usually two storey’s with functional shops on the

ground floor and separate residential spaces upstairs, were built around the old city

centre. These shop-houses drew inspiration from St Straits Chinese and European

traditions. Some of these shophouses have made way for new developments but

there are still many standing today around Medan Pasar (Old Market Square),

Chinatown, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, Jalan H.S. Lee, Jalan Doraisamy, Bukit

Bintang and Tengkat Tong Shin areas. Kuala Lumpur is one of the best cities that

have managed to preserve the best of its cultural heritage and combine it with

2.0 History and background of Lee Rubber Building

Historic building represents the single most visible aspect of the history and culture.

Lee Rubber building has its own history during Second World War and after the war.

During Second World War, Kuala Lumpur was captured by the Japanese Army on 11

January 1942. Second World War was a global military conflict which involved a

majority of the world’s nations, including all the great powers, organized into two

opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. The war involved the mobilization

of over 100 million military personnel, making it the most war in history. They

remained in occupation until 15 August 1945, when the commander in chief of the

Japanese Seventh Area Army in Singapore and Malaya, Seishiro Itagaki, surrender

to the British administration following the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and

Nagasaki.

The Japanese surrender at Lee Rubber Building. The Lee Rubber building was used

as the Kempetai headquarters and the present War Museum nearby was a bank

(called Bank Kerapu by locals) that was used by the Kempetai as a detention and

torture house. Thousand cheered the military police, mostly Koreans and Taiwanese

were driven by open Army Trucks to M.P. headquarters, the Lee Rubber Building.

The Kempeitai (Japanese Secret Police) Headquarters in Kuala Lumpur (Lee Rubber

Building) still stands at the corner of Jalan Hang Lekir and Jalan Tun H.S. Lee. Kuala

Lumpur grew through the war, the rubber and tin commodity crashes and the

Malayan Emergency, during which Malaya was preoccupied with the communist



insurgency.

2.2 Bibliography of Lee Kong Chian

Figure: Photo of Lee Kong Chian



Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Kong_Chian

A philanthropist and multi-millionaire businessman, the late Lee Kong Chian was the

son of an immigrant from Fujian who made the journey to Singapore in 1903 with his

father. His intelligence and talents attracted tycoons Cheng Hee Chuan and Tan Kah

Kee who were responsible for his early start in business. Lee made his mark in

rubber and later expanded into pineapple, coconut oil and sawmills among others.

Lee also invested large capitals in big enterprises like the Overseas-Chinese Banking

Corporation, Great Eastern Life, Sime Darby (Singapore), Singapore Cold Storage

and the Straits Tradings Company. The last fifteen years of his life was devoted to

charity work under the Lee Foundation of which the beneficiaries included the

Singapore Chinese High School, Nanyang University, University of Malaya, and the

National Library. Though a corporate magnate, Lee led a simple life and was known

to be humble. His legacy lives on, with landmark institutions named after him,

including the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library (National Library Board), the Lee

Kong Chian School of Business and the Lee Kong Chian Building (Singapore

Management University).

Lee Kong Chian was born in the village of Nan Ann city in Fujian province on 18

October 1893. Back in his hometown, Lee received his early education in a private

school. Lee's father, Lee Kuo Chuan, was a poor tailor and like many other Fujian

natives, turned to Singapore to make a better living. Father and son arrived in

Singapore in 1903. Lee was only 10 then and he went to the Anglo-Indian School at Faculty of Built Environment,University of Malaya

Serangoon. The fees were cheap and though it was a Tamil school, Lee learnt

English. He then enrolled into Yeung Chia School (predecessor of Chung Cheng

School) at Aliwal Street to continue with his Chinese education. A hardworking and

excellent student, he topped his classes. In 1908, the 15 year-old Lee was among

15 overseas students armed with a Manchu government scholarship to study in Chi

Nan school in Nanjing. He continued his excellent streak and graduated as the top

student two years later. Ching Hwa High School in Peking was his next destination

for advanced study (a two-year course which was equivalent to pre-university

standard). Lee subsequently went to the College of Mining and Communication in

Tang Shan to study engineering. But China's political development and internal

turmoil as the country headed towards a Republic put a stop to Lee's educational

pursuit in China and he came back to Singapore in 1912.

Lee's break at business came in 1915 when, upon noticing Lee's talent, Cheng Hee

Chuan invited Lee to join China National Products Company. The company was

formed to import goods from Malaya into China as European merchandise during

WWI was in shortage. When Chee invited public investments, Lee subscribed to a

number of shares and was appointed assistant English Secretary to the company.

The venture did not take off but another opportunity came knocking two years later.

Rubber tycoon Tan Kah Kee offered Lee to manage his rubber company at a time

when Tan was planning to expand his rubber business to America and Europe.

Tan's rubber company, Khiam Aik, grew by leaps and bounds under Lee's capable

management and Tan took Lee to be part of his family by marrying him to his eldest

daughter, Tan Ai Leh. Lee's leadership graced important organization like the

Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce to which he was twice elected as

President. Lee also headed the Rubber Trade Association of Singapore, and as

President, he represented the association in various rubber conferences. At the end

of 1941, he was attending one of these conferences in Washington D.C. when the

Japanese descended on Malaya. He stayed in New York during the Pacific War and

British government


was appointed as a lecturer for Columbia University, educating the US military and

civil officers on Southeast Asia.

Lee's trademark was his progressive business style, exemplified by his success in

transforming a traditional rubber business into a modern corporation, thus earning

him the title, "the first modern towkay in Singapore". His simplicity and humility often

impressed his peers. By 1952, through the Lee Foundation which he established with

a capital sum of $3.5 million, Lee began using his wealth to sponsor his strong belief

in education. Generous donations to school-building funds and charities started and

have continued since. Lee's health deteriorated in 1964 and he was admitted to

Queen Mary's Hospital in Hong Kong for treatment of liver cancer. He made a

recovery after an operation, and in 1965, he proceeded to Shanghai for further

examination by Chinese physicians. He came back to Singapore three months later

and following months of rest, his health improved. However, his conditions took for

the worst and he passed away peacefully on Friday 2 June 1967 at 7 pm at his

mansion in Mount Rosie. His funeral service was held at Mount Vernon

Crematorium, and people from many walks of life from millionaires to rubber tappers

paid their last respect. The funeral procession was one of the biggest seen in

Singapore but was kept simple despite Lee's millionaire status. He was survived by

his wife, three sons, three daughters and several grandchildren.

3.0 Construction & Conservation Chronology

Figure: Chronology for construction and conservation at Lee Rubber Building


1930 – The building was built by architect A.O. Coltman

1949 – The 5th storey had been added when the Lee Rubber Company moved back in. Later it has been a residential house

for the Lee Rubber founder, Tan Sri Lee Kong Chian.

2002 – Restoration project that cost RM2.3 million started. Involved massive work from top to bottom of the building.

Early 2003 – The restoration project finished successfully.

According to the staff from Unit Rekabentuk Bndr & Warisan, DBKL), the Lee Rubber

building that has been constructed during the 1930 by A.O. Coltman shows the great

characters of the Art Deco architectural styles. It is due to the great era where these

architectural styles had made its appearance in the mid-1930s and finally extended

to the 1950s. Most of the buildings that adapt this designs is the building that

previously need to be construct in a limited period of time, commonly comes from the

post-war era

Source: Case study, 2009

During 1949, it’s when the building had been changing hand from the British authority



to the Lee Rubber Company back; it’s where the first addition in the building had

been carried out. The building that is previously was a four-storey high has been

added with one more storey, the fifth storey. It has been constructed to be like a

house, where it’s later has been a residential house for the Lee Rubber founder, Tan

Sri Lee Kong Chian. Later it has been use as quarters for the company’s employee.

Later, the restoration in 2002 has taken place. The main reason for the Lee Rubber

Company to come out with these initiatives was for the economic reason, to generate

more incomes. Other than that, the building also has been listed as a Category 2 by

the Kuala Lumpur City Council (DBKL), which means that the building can be

renovate totally in the interior side and some of the exterior side. Seems that the

building has been considered as one of the heritage building in Kuala Lumpur, so the

planning approval to make a restoration for this building has been a lot more easier,

that have give great pleasure to the building owner to make the preservation process.

This restoration process who has started in year 2002 and ended in the early of 2003

has involved a massive work from top to bottom of the building. The work that had

been carried out was;

Figure: The foyer – has a retro feels with its bold use of color.




Interior walls – all had been torn down, to create open floor space for a rental

purpose. It also has been replastered and repainting in white in color.

Facade/exterior walls – it has been repainting in yellow in colour. The colour

was selected by the Lee Rubbers’ family in Singapore, from a 3 proposed

colours. They always are adventurous with the building colours, like what they

had made to their Batu Pahat branches, where the bldg was painted in pink

(Ng Wai Hung, 2003).

Windows – added with a new grills and glass panes.

Mosaic tiles on the stairs – it has been stripped and retiles to retain its

aesthetic value.

Stairway – it has been lit up.

Other than to repair or retain the old materials, they also have made some

new addition to the building to expose its retro styles. The new addition that



had been identified is;

Sunroof – it’s built above the air well and adjacent to the stairwell. The main

reason to build it is to allow a natural light and to brighten up the building

during the day. It also covers with a solar heat filter film, which lets in ample

light but not the intense heat from the sunshine.

Source: Field study, 2009

Horizontal timber bars – this new addition frame the corridors fronting the air well, to

give the passageways more light and space. The use of the timber bars are just with

one reason, to lend a contemporary feels to the building. These designs also are

complements with the Art Deco detail graphic patterns.

Figure: Views of the timber bars from top to bottom

Figure: Timber bars that frame the corridors.


Although the restoration had been carried out, but the Art Deco motifs can still be

seen there in the building. It’s always has been protected to be in its pristine

condition. It can be seen on the pillars, beams (who has been with embossed

squares) and at the ceilings (who has showcase the fine details). Due to its clean



lines, the Art Deco design has remain contemporary even the thick solid walls hint at

their age (Ivy Soon, 2003).

To support the initiatives that have been carried out by the building owner, the

Popular Bookstores & Peter Hoe Beyond have left the ceiling bare, allowing the Art

Deco design to be appreciated. However the Kasturi tuition centre owners have

boarded up the ceiling for acoustic & air-cond purposes.

4.0 Legislation

Currently, there are three legislations that have been identified related to the Lee

Rubber Building in terms of the conservation affair. That is;



Federal Territory Planning Act 1982 (Act 267)

Local Government Act 1976 (Act 171)

National Heritage Act 2005 (Act 645).

These three different acts have a different power regarding to the Lee Rubber

building. But all of these three acts must be use together when it comes to

conservation things. All the limitation must be followed by the owner and the

occupant to make sure the building got what it deserves to got, a protections from

being demolish and etcetera.
