He reached Malaysia around or before 1918 to work in railways. and later on his wife rattan kaur and elder son Niranjan singh joined him in feb 1918.He took early retirement and came to settled in Sangatpur earlier named khusrapur.He used to write a lot not only to relations but govt., radio stations, and Gurudwara committee. And each letter was copied and documented. In the room on the first floor these letters filed a wire witha hook used to be hanging from the walls. All I did was look for stamps in these letters.Unfortunately we didn't realise what a treasure of history we were throwing away when we did away with most of the correspondence. All this information is from bits and pieces whioch we had kept. Also a lot of it was destroyed when the house was locked for a long time. More later..........
