Besides that, he was also very active in scouting. He was even the camp chief for the 1st Malaysia Jamboree, which was held in Penang. He also received the "semangat padi " award!!
Gallery Tan Sri Wong Pow Nee was set up by one of his sons.
The location of the gallery is, No.1 Jalan Bawasah, Georgetown, right behind Sheraton hotel. Well it used to be Sheraton hotel, but it changed the name to "dersott hotel" ( something similar, not too sure of the new name..)The door of the gallery is always close, so you will need to enter through the restaurant.
admission to the gallery is FOC, it opens daily, from 10am to 8.30 pm.
the-used-to-be-SheratonHotelAlthough the gallery is small, but it has lots of valuable, meaningful and informative photos and items. There are quite a few scouting photos, especially on the 1st Malaysia jamboree. I even saw a really old book with " Jambori Pertama Malaysia" printed on its cover put on display, I think it is the guest book for the Jamboree. Too bad, I wasn't allowed to take photos.
For more info about the gallery, just let the founder of the gallery explain it to you ! click here
Beside the gallery is a restaurant, owned by the son.

As the name stated, Hakka Connexion is a Hakka restaurant, serving Hakka food, duh!
Ate the Hakka noodles.The food is just "ok ok", nothing very special....
Actually it is a good idea to open a restaurant, right beside the gallery
1. You can manage the restaurant and the gallery at the same time.
2. People can visit the gallery while waiting for the food to be served.
3. People will get hungry after visiting the gallery and dine in the restaurant.
4. If, they don't feel hungry, they will still dine there. Who enters a restaurant but don't order any food? Paiseh le, if you don't order!!
So, if you so happen to be in Penang, remember to drop by and visit this gallery!!
