My First Exploration
My visit to Lintang, an estate in Sungai Siput in 1983 year end.This was an estate in where my uncle Mahalingham was working in the Oil palm factory as a wireman. Mympurpose of visit was, uncle told me it was an oil palm plantation, which has its own processing factory. I was curious to see n observe how Oil papam is extracted from the tiny outer layer of those fruits.
Fro Sitiawan I took a bus n went to Ipoh. From Ipoh, I took a bus to Sungai Siput, and frm Sungai Siput Bus station, I took the bus going to Lintang n other estate s. It was a vv long journey whole day journey. By the time I reach Lintang it was going to be dark, uncle was in his house, hi is wife chitti Akka was preparing dinner. Akka was thrifty, since her hubby only works n need to feed all their 4 kids n 3 other kids of her brother n his wife n his assistant a young man who has been his assistant learning wiring frm him. That night this akka cooked milaghu rasam, injipuli chuttni n rice. His wife said now her husband need to bear the burden of taking care of her brother's family after her brother past away.The youngest n and the secound yougest were still in Primary school the eldest was in Secoundry. Those day mama was a vv happy man, vv jovial. He never get angry , shouted or scold his wife or anyone..
The next day morning mama gave lift in his bike, to the Palm oil factory n explained to me the process of making oil palm n the husk as burner n the inner white tiny copra as the most expensive oil. The raw Oilpalm was not refined, n it was golden yellow and looked like ghee. This raw Oil is e ported to 3 Rd world Nations as a cooking oil n the Cheapest of all. Malaysia use the barter way of bisness with India, where the experts in Constrution of Buildings n railways treks are sent to Malaysia and Malaysian Government exchange Oil palm with India's man power, no money goes out ,only raw Oil palm with Experts in Contractions n buildings n rail trek experts.
My personal experience when I toured TamilNafu Villages n towns, I found out Oiln palm is the cheapest cooking oil which is raw n everyone can buy it.The locally produced seed oils seemed to be far expensive compared to oil palm, whichnisnot heart healthy...
