Netherton House
At this time I was staying at a holiday home between Newton Abbott and Teignmouth in
South Devon. The reference is interesting because of our family's connection with the Beach of Passionate Love.
After that, I read “The beach of Passionate love” by G. M. Glaskin, about
Pantai Chinta Berahi. It is exceptionally good, and he even mentions the Odeon [cinema],
which belongs to Pui Tiong Yeong, and was designed by Dad, twice.
The name Pui Tiong Yeong was crossed out and replaced by “Dr. Arulampulam”.
This was obviously after my parents had corrected me. Pui Tiong Yeong lived just round the
corner (he runs the Ford dealership), but had nothing to do with the cinema, which now has
been closed down by the state government.
