If you entered yours as Tengah I'm sure you would be obliged. Tengah was of course a far off place of which we then knew little. It was rumoured they had some new fangled gubbings there called 'air conditioning'.
Those of us who spent a month there before going on to 11 months in Kuching or Labuan knew nothing of AirCon. We lived in the 'stables' near JC's curry stall outside the main gate. The best feature was close proximity to the swimming pool. Re accomodation, I must dig out and post pics of the Kuching basha hut accomodation. The palm-leaf thatch was much better insulation than more modern materials used on the later ones, and contained an interesting variety of insect population.
