关于此地
Toko Lay stands in the commercial centre as a testament to merchant resilience and civic survival.
The commercial building in downtown Dili originated as a family hardware store under Portuguese colonial rule. Members of the extended Lay family trace their ancestry to Guangdong province and have maintained continuous ownership through Portuguese administration, Indonesian occupation, and United Nations reconstruction. The façade carries an inscription documenting its commercial founding in the colonial period.

During the political turmoil before the Indonesian invasion, Chico Lay allowed civilians and regional refugees from Liquiçá, Suai, and Same to take shelter inside the store while owner Lay Tin Hsiong was abroad. When Indonesian troops entered Dili, the building came under heavy fire after a paratrooper became caught on the roof. Soldiers forced the occupants out toward the waterfront and separated the families at the harbour.
Following the raid on the premises, military forces sent the women and children to the Chinese school and detained the men under guard at the customs house. The captured civilians were assigned to forced burial details across public gardens and the port area. Diplomatic reports submitted to foreign legislative committees documented the assault, preserving the site as a focal point in accounts of wartime civilian experience.
