I still don't understand why the old days foochow selected to come to sibu for a tougher life than in china. i afraid they were misled.
Dear Anonymous,
The Pioneering Foochows of Sibu felt that it was their destiny to be in Sibu to enjoy the life with dignity, a life of religious freedom and a life of less intensity and political pressure. They were then tired of the Qing oppression....and they believed in Wong Nai Siong...They were also Methodists. In the third year of settling down in Sibu God sent them Rev James Hoover who managed them very well for 35 years!! That is the History of Sibu Foochows. It is up to you to judge them in the 21st Century. 110 years alter. I am a descendant. I have to live out my own destiny.

It is very intriguing to read about my own ancestor (Ling Ming Lok) in here. He is my great grandfather. Thanks for the information I do not even know about my own family until I stumbled upon this blog.
