>>217650862Failed cop turned security guard (although he preferred to think of himself as/call himself a ‘security officer’) on one side… he also did some kind of work for a company that manufactured rubber stamps for a while when I was a small child. He was somewhat belligerent towards most people (although extremely kind to animals) and startlingly stupid, which was hard for me to relate to, as both of my parents were fairly brainy (one teacher, one professor). He lived with my parents for the last few years of his life after getting cheated out of his house and all his money by his stepchildren after his second wife died (his first wife, my dad’s mom, died young; both she and the second wife were much nicer than he was… I don’t know what women saw in him).My mother’s father worked in a cotton mill/textile factory and died young—I don’t remember him at all, although I have been told I attended his funeral as a baby. I gather that he wasn’t a great father or husband.

>>217650862My matrilinial side is from Thailand. My great grandfather was Thai and migrated south. He converted to Islam and married a local. His son fell out with him and ran away even further south. He became my grandfather and started a house building company. That company grew until he became the richest man in the district. He could even pay for my mum to study in the UK in the 1970s. My father's side is a mystery to me. My patrilineal grandfather migrated from Aceh, Indonesia to Pulau Pinang but died when my father was a child. Other than that I don't know anything about him. Though an orphan, my father was very smart and managed to enter a prestigious boarding school in the 60s and got a scholarship to study in the UK in the 70s. That's where he met my mum and they got married when they got back to Malaysia.
