Talk about history, Suffolk House is rooted deep in history. Being acclaimed as the only surviving Anglo-Indian mansion and the residence of Sir Francis Light, the colonial founder of Penang in 1786, it is such a great honour to see the place restored to its former glory (winner of 2008 UNESCO Asia Pacific Heritage Award for cultural heritage conservation)
