I've met him few times last year during his visit to our church in CAC. He's a very kind person, funny, he can talk alot & he really cared his two 'IMU' here (aunty Floria & Mum). We even talk & hugs each other every time we met. He always ask me about my workplace & the only I think about him is he always tells about mum during their younger days & how my grandpa teach them about life. (He stayed with grandpa when he's taking his primary 6 at Merapok where grandpa teach)
About his life history, I can say that I'm proud of him. He's a former state football star in the 70's. He has represent Sarawak in the Malaysia Cup for the first time in 1979 & being the only Sarawakian footballer to have won a SEA Games football medal in Bangkok in the early 1980's. He has joined the police force in 1963 and retired in July 2005.
