Participants included followers of Sun Yat-sen such as
Huang Xing,
Hu Hanmin, Zhao Sheng,
Sun Mei,
Dai Jitao, and Ooi Kim Kheng from
Penang; from
Seremban; and from Indonesia. In total, 53 people participated. The meeting planned the revolt to take place at
Guangzhou. A financial goal was set to raise at least
$100,000 among the overseas Chinese in
Southeast Asia Nanyang. The
new army of
Guangdong was to be the main force of the revolt. The Tongmenhui headquarters in Tokyo was not told of this meeting, and party leaders who opposed or doubted him were not invited. After this meeting Sun would leave Penang for
North America,
United States. There are multiple possible causes on why he was banned. One reason was that he was ordered by the
British colonial authorities to leave Penang because of his public criticism of
British colonial rule. Another reason was that
Straits administrator
John Anderson ordered him to be banned because of inflammatory speech to incite support for his anti-Manchu revolutions on 26 November 1910, at a Chinese club. The 1910 Penang Conference was re-enacted in the Chinese movie
Road To Dawn (2007). == See also ==
