Guess you must be writing a book on memoirs. Interesting with details of family life and tribulations in those days (though I haven't read all postings). In the earlier posting your mentioned about Selekoh. I used to pass an old madrasah there by the very roadside when driving to work at Sg Sumun from T. Intan. Now, I know who has led his mark there. May Allah bless Siddi, a pious man.

"Bapak returned to Sitti’s hometown in Selekoh, Perak, where Siddi had set up his waqf (pious foundation) and madradasah (religious school) in 1918. Although Siddi and the rest of the family had left for Makkah once again in 1937, his former students must have kept the waqf alive and Bapak’s family may have stayed at an ancestral home or relatives on Sitti’s side."
