The Tiong or Zhang surname is one of the biggest Chinese surnames in the world. In the Chinese language Zhang is therefore ranked as a Big Surname. The word Zhang is made up of two Chinese characters "Bow" (on the left) and "Long" (on the right).
Sibu has a large population of the Tiong family. And recently the Tiong leaders established a Zhang Clan Building which also houses a History Gallery.
These photos will tell you all about it.

Hi Anonymous...thank you for your comments. So you were one of my students in MSS? Thanks again for visiting the blog!!
No, I was your student when you were still in Univ. time. After that, I was not taught by you but I always remembered you indeed liked me in the class as me always the No. 1 or No. 2 lol.. hahahah..
Not MSS but guess lol? :)
Anonymoud..you were in Chung Hua School?
I did like all my students. A classroom has a life..and it should be populated by great souls which were thirsty to learn...and as a teacher I have to ensure that the spirit of learning is always moving and active!!
You can remember the short time I was there?
I also taught in Sedaya during one Semester break/long holidays when Madam Tan took leave...were you there?
