The boy that walked thousand miles journey...


Once upon a time…there was a boy who sailed from his kampong to unknown place, with a hope of making a new better life. Moving to a strange territory, meeting new faces, leaving home, family and friends… and the worst is anxiety about the future is too horrified to be grasped by a lad. Life at the beginning of the new land wasn’t a pleasant experience..But he was a strong and flamboyant boy... whom talked loud about his dreams regardless all the scrutinizes of others.
At wee hour..he woke up and starts walking to nearby town to sell local fruit, mostly guavas.  Placing the fruits on a piece old cloth..he starts his routine gingerly, call out passerby to buy his fruits. He did this with no complaint and fuss even though the profit wasn’t much. he save bit of his meager earnings daily without failed..he was a very determined boy.. food never wasted.. leftover consumed even when the leftover rice was full of ants. Some leftover will be eaten in dark, purposely to avoid seeing the numerous ants in the food.
Little by little he managed to save and enlarged his roadside stall. Until one day he told friend that he wants to buy a bullock cart and venture rubber trading..buying from kampong people and becoming middle man. This too has been scrutinized by most..at that time there were no Malay people becoming middle man..what more owned a bullock cart. But he didn’t flinch from his decision and moved ahead with the plan.
The rubber trading went so well and that point of juncture he had to employed many assistant to assist his business. The flamboyant boy was no more boy anymore..he is one of the rich man in kajang. By virtue of having so much money has had opened up other opportunity..there were so many people whom came to borrow money from him. In return, these people had mortgaged the land title to him..and most of them had failed to payback which eventually has made him the new owner of these lands… and he became Orang Kaya Kajang……… Gen 3 Orang Kaya Kajang are on the way...to becoming one!!!!
