Sketch of the day in my Daler Rowney art journal is of a vintage chartered bank night safe on Beach street Penang.
A relic from the colonial days. It is now the Standard chartered bank. The night safe is no longer in use but still on the wall preserved as part of the heritage of the past.

Don’t know. I’ll ask my daughter if she knows. But it does sound so much like the Raffles. š

Ohhhh. What a shame. I was already thinking about a treasure hunting expedition. š

I don’t think so. The night safe doesn’t work anymore and the bank is a working standard chartered bank today

I don’t think the chartered bank has its origins here but it was the first in Malaysia. Maybe the first was in India?

Do they still keep gold coins in the safe?
For history I mean.
