1985年,余國隆在開拓棕油新產品和新用途事業上又跨前一步,他被派往掌管由南順與德國人合作創辦聯洲特別油脂公司(Intercontinental Specialty Fats Sdn Bhd)。這家公司生產高檔的棕油中間部份油脂(POP),製成類可可油,以取代價格昂貴的可可油(CBE),打進世界巧克力糖果市場。
The presence of another guest at the lunch, Soon Ren Long, from Kuala Trengganu, made our gathering more precious. Remember him? He is the younger brother of Soon Ren Fong, another member of Class '61 who has now settled down in Johore Bharu. Ren Long was one year our junior at CHHS.
Ren Long is now the State scretary of Trengganu mCA, he had come all the way to attend the MCA's emergency general assembly the day before which produced some upsets.
He also brought along his distinguished son, who is the confidential secretary to the Speaker of Upper House, Senate, YB Wong Fook Ming(王茀明).
Fresh from the highly controversial MCA assembly, Ren Long was busy answering questions from around the table.
I was seated at the other table and when I was asked to move over to make room for Mr.Cheng so he could chat with more the conversation at Ren Long's table was still over MCA and politics.
I think Ren Long answered all the questions as honestly as possible, he did not treat us like strangers or laymen,but rather like old friends.
At the other table, I could hear old teacher Mr.Cheng 曾鳳相老師 was also busy and happily giving tips on his health to the many wide-eyeed listeners around him..
What a reunion after nearly 50 years, we were not like stangers, but old friends who never parted!
