High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yeap Chor Ee was a businessman and philanthropist. He was born in the village of Nam Aun, China, in 1867. Armed only with indefatigable energy and strong business acumen, he came to Penang at a mere age of 17 in the 1890s and grew to become Penang's richest man of his time and one of the State's greatest philanthropists. Chor Ee passed on in 1952 at the ripe old age of 85. By then, he was known as The Grand Old Man of Penang, well loved for his old world courtesy, humility, generosity and integrity. He had arrived in Penang, Malaysia, from China, virtually penniless, but left a vast empire after his death. As a result of hard work he rose to become one of the richest men in Penang. He married a local girl, Lee Cheng Kin, by whom he had two sons, Datuk Yeap Hock Hoe and Yeap Hock Hin. They lived in a mansion called Homestead' at No 54 Northam Road which was their family house. He founded the Ban Hin Lee Bank and many other companies. Therefore his life epitomizes the true rags to riches story
