Chapel of St John 圣若望小堂 ( 3 )

Pahang River 彭亨河

Triang is much bigger than I expected. It is bigger than Kajang in term of area and number of streets. The section near the chapel consists of almost all new shop houses. Development has reached Triang.

Going there is rather easy by East Coast Highway. We exited at Temerloh, and another half an hour drive away along Pahang River.

There are about 30 Catholic families in Triang.

We are grateful to Mr. Tan, Mr. Jack Tan, Mr. Luke Lim, wife Cecilia and daughter Anna for their warm hospitality. They brought us for lunch after the visit to the chapel. They also took the trouble to plug some papaya and tapioca planted at the compound. We are very touched by their wonderful warm welcome extended to us.

May God bless all of you and your families, and the parishioners in Triang all the best and success in wining back the right to the land and preservation of the chapel.

Delicious lunch with fresh river fish

美味新鲜的河鱼作午餐

直凉比我想像中大的很多，它的面积和街道也比加影还大及多。在靠近教堂的部分，几乎都是全新的商店，所以，发展的脚步已经到了直凉。

使用东海岸大道很方便就可以到达直凉。到了淡马鲁，转入沿着彭亨河的道路，半个小时后就抵达目的地了。

直凉有大约三十户教友家庭。

我们非常感谢陈主席，还有陈根国兄弟，林华本兄弟及太太细叶姐妹，及女儿宜薇的接待及破费请吃午餐。他们还热情的采摘了种在教堂周围的木瓜及木薯，送给我们。这份温暖之情，使我们感动不已。

愿主保佑你们及家庭，也保佑直凉的教友们，成功的争取回这个历史性的小教堂及土地的拥有权。
