THE FAMILY
We are from the state of Melaka, but most of us spent about 17 years in Tuaran, Sabah when our late father was lecturing at Kent College from November, 1970 until he retired in 1987 (it was supposed to be a two-year stint), but he and we, liked the place, so...
THE HUT
Note the collage of our rented houses / Tuaran's landmarks, in Tuaran. The 1st one was situated near the college's hockey field (now occupied by a new mosque) and the 2nd one was located at the bank of Sungai Tuaran (now a 'tasik ladam'). Most of my really free times were spent at the bank of the river...fishinglah apa lagi!!! Once we went menjala n caught half a baldi of udang galah...sambal udanglah jawabnya he he. Sadly these houses are on the verge of being torn down for I don't know what. Heard from the people around there that all houses/hostels etc facing the river will be demolished for new structures. Would be nice if they can just refurbish the old buildings which have some unique architecture

You're the only ex-Sabah Collegian who approached me. Thanks for keeping me in mind. I have forgotten a lot of people and memories. I have even forgotten your looks during those days. Keep in touch.
Sorry to your friend al-fatihah..
