Diem Bakery Building

The Royal Room / Red Room

 

This Red Room was built new at the back of the building overlooking Anak Bukit River on the first floor. The previously shoddy extension was used as bird nest house and was in total disrepair with the ground floor totally dismantled. A contemporary double storey building with ceiling height windows to maximize the view of the river and Jetty Pekan Cina was constructed on the original site.

 

The Royal Room is in memory of the late Sultan of Kedah, Tuanku Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah (1927-2017), the 28th monarch of Kedah state from 1958 to 2017. His Majesty served as the 5th Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia from 1970 to 1975 and also the 14th Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia from 2011 to 2016.
