-//"Pengarah Pusat Warisan Komuniti Kajang Lee Kim Sin berkata, Ah Ngee adalah pemilik lombong di Kajang kerana mendiang membuka lombong bijih timah dan estet getah di Lembah Balau di daerah berkenaan pada 1980-an. “Mendiang juga membina jalan daripada estet di Lembah Balau menghala ke Broga hingga ke Semenyih. “Ah Ngee juga sanggup membelanjakan sejumlah wang untuk membuka jalan itu bagi memudahkan mengeluarkan hasil bijih timah dan getah sebelum dijual,” katanya kepada Nuansa. Katanya, mendiang yang beragama Katolik bermurah hati apabila sanggup memberi tanah di pekan Kajang untuk dijadikan tapak gereja dan tanah perkuburan. “Terdapat jalan di Kampung Baru Sungai Chua, Kajang dinamakan Jalan Goh Ah Ngee oleh British bagi mengenang sumbangan mendiang,” katanya."//  +

-//"Towkay Goh Ah Ngee was the person credited for the start of tin mining in the district of Ulu Semenyih. Towkay Goh started as a businessman and contractor, and later put his faith in tin mining. He was successful in his first ventures at Rawang and Serendah in the 1880’s. He then moved to the Broga district and he was again successful in opening up a highly profitable mine. To reach his mine, he made an extension of a branch cart road from Semenyih and it was to be the very first road to Broga. Unlike many of his peers, Goh Ah Ngee was a Catholic convert. One of the important innovations that he brought to the mining industry was direct employment of labour. When British Resident W.H. Treacher made a tour of the area, he reported that it was a Chinese Catholic Settlement. Goh Ah Ngee later moved to Kajang to embark on coffee planting. He left the operation of the mines in Broga in the hands of his son-in-law, Lai Tet Loke."// (Eric Lim @ Museum Volunteers (JMM), 8 Mac 2021: {{ ::laman:a_very_rough_guide_to_broga_museum_volunteers_jmm.pdf ||}}[[https://museumvolunteersjmm.com/2021/03/08/a-very-rough-guide-to-broga/|"A Very Rough Guide To BROGA"]]). +

-//"The tin boom in the district occurred in the middle of 1890’s, when Chinese businessmen made huge investments in the district. One of the Chinese miners was Goh Ah Ngee,who was active in Balau (Broga today). He even built a church for a small group of Chinese Christians in the area. ... Goh Ah Ngee, who had tin mines in Balau, also ventured into rubber plantation in Semenyih after his failed ventures in coffee planting. The development of the rubber industry was also helped by the extension of the railway track southwards from Kuala Lumpur to Kajang in 1897. Before that, Kajang was connected to Kuala Lumpur via a cart road built in 1888."// (Eric Lim @ Museum Volunteers (JMM), 15 Julai 2020: {{ :laman:history_of_kajang_museum_volunteers_jmm.pdf ||}}[[https://museumvolunteersjmm.com/2020/07/15/history-of-kajang/|"History of Kajang"]]). +

Established by Reverend Father Charles Hector Letessier in 1883, the church was built with financial assistance from rich Chinese Catholic merchant Goh Ah Ngee."// (Loong Wai Ting @ New Straits Times, 4 Oktober 2018: {{ :akhbar:on_a_kl_heritage_walk.pdf ||}}[[https://www.nst.com.my/lifestyle/jom/2018/10/417941/kl-heritage-walk|"On a KL heritage walk"]]).+
