Joy for ex-Gatco settlers


Closure: A land recipient getting emotional after receiving his land title from Aminuddin. Also present was Ramalingam (fourth from left).

BAHAU: Give and you shall receive more in return – these words exemplify the Pillai family who are known for their philanthropic work.

The Pillai siblings are following in the footsteps of their father, N. Rengasamy Pillai, who in the 1950s donated 700ha of land to those in the then Teluk Anson in Perak to build schools, places of worship and burial grounds.
