The Sungai Petani clock tower is situated in the city of Sungai Petani, Kuala Muda District, Kedah, Malaysia.
The clock tower was built to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee, marking 25 years on the throne, and was unveiled on 4 June 1936.[1][2] It was donated by Lim Lean Teng, a wealthy Penang businessman, and designed by architect, Chew Eng Eam.[3]
The rectangular clock tower is 60 feet high with the clock 40 feet from the ground. Built in the art deco style, it is made of concrete with a granolithic finish to improve durability, and is covered with a golden dome.[1] A bronze memorial plaque reads: "This clock tower was presented to Sungei Patani by Mr. Lim Lean Teng to commemorate the reign of His Majesty King George V. 1910 to 1936."[1]
