As a matter of fact I know where Lanadron Estate is. I gre up during my childhood on the rubber plantation on the opposite side of Lanadron in Nordal Estate. Nordanal spelt backwards reads Lanadron...it was owned by Boustead and Company at the time. Welcome to Malaysia. You may contact me at njec@tm.net.my or joechelliah@gmail.com should you decide to come here. I live near Kuala Lumpur now.JOE CHELLIAH @ JOHAMI ABDULLAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07626996500926105851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3317661989996921078.post-23603416271029469792011-08-14T05:47:20.286+08:002011-08-14T05:47:20.286+08:00My father fought in Royal Engineers in the second ...My father fought in Royal Engineers in the second world war in Malaysia at the age of 17 and witnessed first hand the cruelty of the Japanese there, he loved the country and its people so much he became fluent in Malay and after the war returned with a chance to manage Lanadron Estate Johor in the time of the communists. He is 87 now but still speaks the language, remembers the people (chinese Indian and muslim) with great affection (and the post war British army presence with a little humour!).<br />My father cried the day he had to leave through illness and so we now have many of his stories, anecdotes, memories, photographs and some film from those times and I would love my children to one day visit the beautiful country he still thinks of as home.<br />Pippa Wade<br />England.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3317661989996921078.post-6139799464770855542011-08-05T15:18:49.440+08:002011-08-05T15:18:49.440+08:00You got great points there, so I always visit your...You got great points there, so I always visit your site, it looks like you are an expert in this field. keep up the good work, My friend recommends your blog. <br /> <br />My blog: <br />rachat credit immobilier simulation <a href="http://www.rachatdecredit.net" rel="nofollow">www.rachatdecredit.net</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
