Malaysia as their homeland. To this end, he encouraged the participation of the Chinese
community in politics. In doing so, the Chinese eventually cooperated with the Malays inorder to champion for the freedom of Malaya from the British. It was through his efforts
that the Chinese squatters were resettled in new villages where they were protected from
the threats of the communists.
Tun Tan Cheng Lok also firmly believed in the necessity of education for all
people. He felt that lives of all Malaysians would be further enriched through education.

I want clean air
For my grandchildren.I want the damned fools
To leave the forest alone.

The river run free
And the earth covered with grass.
Let the politicians plan how we may live with dignity,
Now and always.
A. Samad Said
Jamal met a friend who suggested obtaining a personal loan. Again Jamal saw a fresh hope.
Jamal went to the bank. The loan officer was most helpful and he said Jamal could borrow
RM5000. Five thousand ringgit! Jamals heart leapt sky-high. Thats it! All his problems are
solved. But, wait Jamal! Theres a catch. Look at the loan repayment scheme, its RM500
for the first month and RM400 every month henceforth. Jamals heart sank. With his
miniscule salary he couldnt even buy cucumbers with the money left over after therepayments. He cannot imagine his beautiful wife eating cucumbers everyday. Besides,
there might be little Jamal very soon and he didnt think they too, could thrive oncucumber. Jamal said goodbye to the Bank Bumiputera officer but took his RM70 out from
the savings account. He gave it to his mother.
