1945, as nations were piecing themselves back together after World War II, a young man from Rembau, Negeri Sembilan, embarked on a steamship journey across the South China Sea to an unfamiliar land in Borneo.) had one profound ambition: to help rebuild Sarawak after the devastation of the Japanese occupation.
Sarawak has always been a land where the indigenous communities share a deep bond with nature, and are passionately committed to sustainable living and preserving its rich resources. “I would like to believe that my father, Ujang Malik, was one of the first Malayans to have ventured out to far-flung Sarawak as early as almost 80 years ago. I was told that it was ‘customary’ for a male from Rembau to be footloose, so to speak, to seek fortunes outside of his birthplace,” Azman sums up the matriarchal bias of Minangkabau.
For Ujang, every posting was an opportunity to embrace new challenges – a fresh chapter waiting to be written. With unwavering dedication, he turned each venture into a remarkable success story. It is evident that much of Azman’s poise and determination were inherited from his father, Ujang, whose unshakeable calm earned him the affectionate title of “Mr Cool” among his children.
By the 1990s, Vision 2020 set forth the ambition to fully industrialise, further sidelining traditional agriculture in favour of sectors with quicker returns. Cash crops like palm oil became dominant in the 2000s, overshadowing investments crucial for local food production.
