Reference excerpt

The Yeap Chor Ee statue is a memorial to the towkay (businessman) Yeap Chor Ee (1867–1952). It is situated in front of his former residence named 'Homestead', now part of the main campus of Wawasan Open University, at Northam Road in George Town, Penang, Malaysia.

Background Yeap Chor Ee was a migrant from Fujian, China who, after arriving almost penniless in Penang in the 1880s, went on to create a successful business empire, becoming the wealthiest man in Penang and one of the richest men in Asia. During his lifetime he was famous for his philanthropic work, and in later life became known as "the Grand Old Man of Penang". The copper statue is 2.5 metres tall, and was unveiled by his grandson, Dato' Seri Stephen Yeap Leong Huat, Chairman of the Wawasan Education Foundation, at a ceremony held on 28 November 2007. On the memorial plaque the following words are inscribed:

Towkay Yeap Chor Ee. 1867–1952. Inspiration to Succeed. Trader, banker and philanthropist. A native son of Nam Aun, Fukien, China. This statue is donated by Trustees of the Estate of Yeap Chor Ee in celebration of their grandfather/great-father's fortitude and foresight. Dedicated November 28th, 2007.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Statue of Yeap Chor Ee

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Statue of Yeap Chor Ee claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Statue of Yeap Chor Ee before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Statue of Yeap Chor Ee ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Statue of Yeap Chor Ee

In research: Statue of Yeap Chor Ee appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Statue of Yeap Chor Ee in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Statue of Yeap Chor Ee is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2007 establishments in Malaysia, 2007 sculptures, Buildings and structures completed in 2007, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Statue of Yeap Chor Ee outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
