the Koh Seang Tat Fountain was donated by its namesake local luminary in 1883 in conjunction with the opening of the Penang Town Hall in 1883. Koh Seang Tat was the first Chinese to be appointed Justice of the Peace. Together with Cheah Chen Eok and Dr. W.C. Brown, Koh Seang Tat was among the first elected members of the Penang Municipal Commission in 1887. Koh Seang Tat donated the fountain which is still functioning today beside the recently restored Town Hall building.
