Beng Boon Yeow: I remember one day seeing big lorries coming to clear the foothills. Then they dug big holes for the foundations and built big efficient drains. In the daytime the construction site belonged to the construction workers but in the evenings it belonged to us. It was our playground.

Todays’s guest piece is from a comment written by Sarawakiana She is one of my favorite writers and knowledgeable about a lot of stuff. She is what my late dad would have described as eaten more salt than I have eaten rice I write posts. She writes beautiful compositions. Sometimes a little lengthy but like a good boy I would read until the very end.

She describes herself as a journeywoman traveling paths in Sarawak and other parts of the world to write and to photograph scenes which may be too common and forgettable to some but are treasures to her children and her.

Malaysia is too young to have private pensioners.but if there are private pensioners i stand corrected.

When I was a kid I used to join my Catholic friends in a church next to our school. They asked me why I did that. I said I wanted to learn about their religion because they gave me an impression that it’s better than mine. No, I didn’t say that actually. I remember vaguely that was what went on in my mind, but I couldn’t articulate it that eloquently at that age. I was in Form One. I was thirteen. I was just curious and I loved singing along with everybody those soothing hymns that tell about love, goodness, charity and bliss in heaven. And that we’re all sinners hoping to get saved.
