向表兄德聰求幫助

My father 1955 letter to my mother. Instruct her to pladge for help from him

父親1955年5月9日給母親信。以責備的語氣指示她向"表兄德聰"求幫助.

婚前失業的父親, 婚後獨自離家投靠在沙撈越姐姐。終於找到了一份工作. 這時我已經2歲了.
母親為了從北婆羅洲(今沙巴)遷移到沙撈越，無助的她沒法自己辦好護照..........

My young generation know very little about Pang Tet Tshung and his Pang family.

Even what we know are just legent. with no written recors

我這年輕一代對彭德聰和彭氏家族知之甚少。即使所知道的家史也只是傳說,沒有準確書面記錄.
父母過世幾年後的2013, 我幸運的發現了父親遺留的日記和信件.

那些年代, 黃氏家族男丁不旺, 貧窮潦倒。
從這些可靠的記錄中，彭德聰這位表戚當時曾經幫助過我家人.

Pang family is dignitary in the society. But my Wong family is poor and desperate.

Grand father family live in the same town. But later generation started to separated to different cities and countries.

After my parents after RIP several years, 2013 I took care of father's diary and letters. From this records, several times mentioned the help from Pang Tet Tshung.

Luckly discovery my father's diary and letters

From these reliable records, he once helped our family

Those years our wong family were poor and desperate.

Kota Kinabalu: Datuk Pang Tet Tshung (pic), former Sabah Chinese Association (SCA) leader and Minister in the late former Chief Minister Tun Datu Mustapha Harun's Cabinet, has passed away in the United States.
He was 94.

An obituary of Pang's passing was published in the Daily Express on Tuesday.

Pang, of Phoenix, Arizona, died peacefully on July 30, surrounded by his family members.

Pang was born in 1923 in Jesselton, North Borneo, in what is now known as Kota Kinabalu.

He attended secondary school in Singapore where in 1942 he and his classmates were forced to flee for months into the jungle following the Japanese invasion of World War II (WWII).

He inherited a legacy of public service from his father, Pang Vui Chau, who was named a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his medical care of Australian troops in North Borneo during the war. Vui Chau was also invited by the Kinabalu Guerrillas to treat their wounded during the 1943 uprising during WWII.

After the war, Tet Tshung became active in world politics and was among a handful of men responsible to strive for independence from Great Britain of North Borneo to form Malaysia in 1963.

For his service and founding contributions to the nation, he was bestowed the honorific title of "Datuk".

Tet Tshung was a Member of Parliament, Cabinet Minister of Finance and Minister of Communications and Public Works for Sabah. He was also the founding Chairman of a committee to create a secondary school for delinquent dropout students in Sabah, which opened in 1965 as the Sabah Tshung Tsin Secondary School.

Tet Tshung is survived by his wife of 67 years, Nyuk Kong Chin; six children – sons Pang Yin Ka, Terence Pang, Nicholas Pang, daughters Pang Li Jin, Pang Li Chu, Pang Li Kiun son (Sophie), and son (Veronica) and 11 grandchildren.

A private visitation and private services will be held on Aug 11 at Green Acres Mortuary & Cemetery, 401 North Hayden Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85257.

上月美國亞利桑那州辭世 立國元老彭德聰享年94
Asia Times 亞洲時報 Phin Hung Wong - 2018年8月9日2

http://www.asiatimes.com.my/2018/08/09/

（亞洲時報訊）來自沙巴的馬來西亞立國元老之拿督彭德聰已於上個月卅日在美國的亞利桑那州鳳凰城與世長辭，享年九十四歲。

根據家屬在美國紀念網站發布的訃聞，死者辭世時家屬陪伴在側，瞻仰遺容儀式訂於本月十一日在亞利桑那州斯科茨代爾的Green Acres墳場舉行。

死者於一九二三年十二月九日出生於亞庇，當時還是北婆渣打公司殖民地時代，並在新加坡接受中學教育，惟因日本侵略而失學；日本投降後，他重返沙巴積極參政，並參與爭取沙巴脫離英殖民地統治，及推動成立馬來西亞。

他是調查及聽取民眾有關成立大馬的意見之政府際委員會成員之一，該委員會過後擬定廣為後人所傳的一九六二年政府際委員會報告，該報告也成為一九六三年馬來西亞協議的附錄文件。

大馬成立後，為執政黨之一的沙巴華人公會領袖之一的他，先後擔任國州議員及州內閣重要部長之職，包括財政部長、交通及工程部長。死者也參與成立如今聞名全國的獨中沙巴崇正中學。

無論如何，在聯盟政府於一九七六年遭人民黨推翻後，他就淡出政壇與社團工作，一直保持低調，並大部份時間留在美國生活。

死者遺下現年六十七歲的妻子陳玉光及六名子女。
