I never forget when I was pre U, my uncle and all the late teens in the village were arrested suspected as political prisoners. I told my Grandpa aka Ah Kung to pack some socks. Ah Kung didn't understand why as he never wore socks in tropical Sarawak. Anyway, he listened to me.
When my uncle was released as he was never a communist., he thanked me saying it was the best item. He wore it as gloves as well to repel mosquitoes. He gave the rest to those who were still kept for further interrogation.
My friend Lian Lian collected old clothes for prisoners and reminded me of this.
