SynopsisThe discovery of tin in Kuala Lumpur in the late 19th century spurred a rush of miners from China to the burgeoning mining town. In 1855 a young pewtersmith named Yong Koon Seong sailed from the southeastern Chinese port of Guandong to Malaya. His journey led ultimately to the founding of one of the best-known pewter companies in the world, now known as Royal Selangor. This is a fascinating record of events in the history of Royal Selangor including the evolution and style of pewter products over the last 125 years., The story of Royal Selangor is no ordinary corporate history. It's humble beginnings and complicated evolution are closely entwined with Malaysia's remarkable social and economic transformation from British colonial days to the modern era.
