My grandfather's last business venture was starting a brickyard in Sg. Aup. He purchased 30 acres of land from the Ibans, having thought that the hill would be able to supply enough clay for brick making.
He then discussed with his sons to purchase brick making machinery from the UK. When the business started the British government was most interested and many officers came to visit it. Grandfather was delighted with the success of the brickyard as it was able to supply the best of bricks to the local housing industry which was booming at that time.
The company also acquired one of the biggest lorries to transport the kiln fired bricks, known to be the best in Sarawak.
