61 Meyer Road

"[3] In February 1948, a civil suit was filed by Yeap Lian Seng and three others for the possession of the property, then occupied by Air Marshal Sir Hugh Pughe Lloyd.

The plaintiffs alleged that they had acquired the house from the Meyer's estate in September of the previous year for $400,000 when it was occupied by Air Marshal Sir George Clark Pirie.

However, when Lloyd replaced Pirie as its resident, the plaintiffs wrote to him, telling him that he did not have their consent to stay at the house and asking him to vacate the property.

[4] Judge W. J. Thorogood decided in the plaintiffs' favour, giving Lloyd until 1 March to vacate the premises and ordering him to pay $900, the rent for December to February.

[7] The building later became the residence of Yeap Teik Leong, the chairman of the Ban Hin Lee Bank in Penang and the developer of The Adelphi.
