My father was president and that meant I got to help my maternal grandfather ( a former president and co-founder of the gurdwara). The langar was always open to everyone, even me. Unlike some gurdwaras, we sat at tables (University of Cambridge style) to eat even during the 50s. Every Malayan who came was welcome. No one asked about race, religion religion, etc.There was and I believe is equality for all in the gurdwara. My father was very proud that our sister earned her postgraduate qualifications in Singapore before any of us boys.
