Wong Jelai (small town near Fraser's Hill)

Pontian Wong

who just died.  With her death, retired headmaster Wong Bentong remains the only surviving children of Wong Ah Jang and his 3 wives who named their 13 children after places in Pahang, a district in Johore and a steamship. I am not spinning a yarn in my old age, this is a true story.
