I was in SengKang 2 for hardly a month when the White Manager transferred me out to another division,a far interior division.There I was given another new bungalow.I had hardly warmed the bed when I was forced to surrender that bungalow to the Training Manager.From then on it was a sad,sad story whereby I was victimized by a bias,corrupted and unscrupulous White Manager.
On giving up my bungalow I had to travel daily as early as 4.30 a.m.in the morning to my new division to work.That was because I had to share residence with another Assistant in his bungalow.Every morning I was told not to start my motor-cycle but to roll it down the hill to get it started without disturbing the Manager who had his bungalow on that very hill top,while we were at the half way mark,how absurd?.Nevertheless I faithfully complied.
In my Division there was a newly planted swamp and the rubber were about a year old.It was cleared of all noxious weeds and the only weed left to eradicate were the bamboo grass.This were done by repeated spraying of weedicides over them.
That was why I had to go in there almost every morning to observe the progress of our eradication work there.One thing scary about this swamp was that it was rumoured that during clearing a human skeleton was discovered in the midst of this field.However no one claimed to know who those bones belonged to.
I was still a fresh planter therefore scared of ghosts so whenever I went there the place gave me quite an eerie feelings.Mind you those days sleeping alone in that lonely bungalow really gave me many frightening moments especially at night.Well
to be continued.
