We had a multi-racial makeup - Ibans with Henghuas and a few families of Malays and Melanaus. Our children were happy to have friends from different backgrounds.
One very significant personnel living near us at that time was the well known Heng Hua Moo - a Chinese traditional medicine lady. As our house was the first on the lane we often had strangers coming to our gate to ask for the direction to this healer's home.
Almost every one in Sungei Merah knew her as she was so popular and so successful in her treatment of folks with twisted ankles and broken bones and other physical ailments.
But her personal life was truly dramatic and stranger than fiction.
