You are right. I doubt he was ado...Dear Anonymous,<br /><br />You are right. I doubt he was adopted in 1943, when the Japs were occupying Sarawak. It has to be before the War. If it was before the War, then it will make sense that he came to Singapore and Malaya with the NZ Army in the mid / late 50s.<br /><br />I have inquired from an NZ authority and they confirmed there was no person by that name in the NZ Army. He could have taken a different name when he was adopted. Am still awaiting for the answers to some of my querries to the family members.Robert Rizal Abdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520830733695053151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587173796684748615.post-23630792276226774112011-09-02T07:19:47.657-07:002011-09-02T07:19:47.657-07:00Sarawak was under Japanese Occupation in 1943, so ...Sarawak was under Japanese Occupation in 1943, so I doubt that the date is correct.
