Chew Boon San: The Third Brother of Boon Juan.


Chew Boon San was the third brother. He came to Malaya after their mother passed away in China.


His wife was Toh Bok Wai. He was known to be quiet but a faithful person.

The shophouse at Gopeng which was formerly Ban Chin Hoe Tin Ore Shop opened by Chew Boon San in 1909 and was used as his residence.
He had several homes. First was the Ban Chin Hoe Tin Ore Shop in Gopeng which was also his residence. Later he built his own bungalow also in Gopeng.
