Who? Lky ancestors from Guangdong not Fujian.He is from the same village as LKY so not hokkien. Who is he trying to fool.
Really? That’s interesting to know. But nothing surprising. All these fights happened between different surnames too.So William Lai from Zhangzhou group which historically he will not be well received by members of the other bigger hokkien Quanzhou group. These two groups at loggerheads in Taiwan for 300 years and often fought over land and water disputes. They settled down and inhabited different parts of the island with members of their own kinship. Little intermarriage between the groups and a Zhangzhou person will not step into a temple built by Quanzhou people. Of course all this is history now lah.
The point is he is hokkien from Fujian Nan an. Not batu gajah.I am familiar with batu gajah. Its a dead town.its tin mine era ended decaes ago. Shophouses lay waisted and abandoned
Who betrayed him in Perak? Majority Hakka Cantonese there.The point is he is hokkien from Fujian Nan an. Not batu gajah.
“Lim was captured by the Kempeitai under Major Ōnishi Satoru (大西覺) at a roadblock in Gopeng, Perak around March or April 1944, and taken to the Kempeitai headquarters for interrogation. He refused to provide the Japanese with any information about Force 136 despite being subjected to torture, and protested against the ill treatment of his comrades in prison. He fell ill with dysentery and was bedridden by the end of May 1944. Lim died in the early hours of 29 June 1944 at the age of 35,[10] and was buried behind the Batu Gajah prison compound in an unmarked spot. After the Japanese surrender, Gan Choo Neo was informed of her husband's death by the priest of St. Andrew's School. She went to Batu Gajah with her eldest son to bring her husband's remains home.”
Btw Lky mother is Peranakan aka hokkien blood.
Oh my bad translation, should be he stick his head out to protect other people and got hit.Sure sound like a silly hokkien hero according to his wife to stick his head out to protect other people and stop fighting caused by traffic accident.
