Ghee Hin Kongsi

Okay kiddo, so remember how we learned about companies before? Well, Ghee Hin Kongsi is a special kind of company that was very important a long time ago in a place called Penang in Malaysia.

You see, Ghee Hin Kongsi was made up of a group of people who all had the same last name, which was Ghee Hin. They all worked together to make their company strong and successful.

But Ghee Hin Kongsi wasn't just any regular company. They did something really cool called "clan-based organization". That means that all the people who were part of Ghee Hin Kongsi were like one big family. They helped each other out and supported each other.

They also did a lot of cool stuff for their community. They built things like temples and schools to help people learn and worship. They even helped new immigrants who came to Penang by giving them jobs and places to live.

So even though Ghee Hin Kongsi wasn't around anymore, it's still important to remember because it shows us how people can work together to make things better for everyone. Pretty cool, huh?
