A Farmer’s Son Uncharted Life

About the Book

This book is meant to relate my life long path and it is merely the experiences, the stages of development and growth and above all the real life faced by a child of a farmer who through grit and determination was able to come up to become someone in a society. Carl Jung stated life began at 40 and indeed my real potential was shown when I reached that age. I was promoted for the first time in my service in Department of Education Sarawak as Deputy Principle Assistant Director of Education. Then I was again promoted to become Principal of Secondary Schools which were higher in grade in the department hierarchy and brought that grade to become the Divisional Education Officer which was my last post in the service of Sarawak Education Department and  Ministry of Education, Malaysia.
