註釋The Fork Once Taken is a collection of memoriesavignettesaof an experience that took place forty-two years agoabetween 1963 and 1965. It is about a place, its flora, fauna and peoplesatheir lives and customs; and a time of political change; the shedding of its British colonial rule, the becoming of the independent State of Sabah; and a few weeks later, becoming incorporated within the Federated States of the nation of Malaysia. Sabah is a place, a state of great beauty in her jungles, mountains, rivers. It was a place of terror for those who lived there during the years of World War II, and a place of rapid recovery and sky-rocketing economic growth in the post-war period of neo-colonial development. Through a glimpse of the past, the author hopes the reader will gain some better understanding of this wonderful corner of Southeast Asia.
