Add Tag | Summary: | A historical saga that brings back the past for those who still remember and for the young who wish to know how things used to be in the years between 1922 and 1982. This story revolves around the life of a boy as he grows to manhood and traces the migration of his family from South Thailand to Penang after his father passes away. He survived the bloody days of the Japanese Occupation, emerged as a Taikor (big brother) in Penang's chaotic underworld when Communist insurgents tried to destabilize the country's development. Finally, when Malaya became an independent sovereign State, the Taikor sought to break away from his past involvement in triad activities to build a new life for himself and his family. |
