From Bapak:
Tok Zainal lived in Klang and was therefore called Datuk Zainal Klang. Actually, he was not the Sultan's private tutor as many had believed.
According to his grandson, Dato' Zainal Abidin bin Ismail Alyamani @ Songkok Tinggi, Tok Zainal Klang was Headmaster of ACS Klang when Tan Sri Manickavasagam was a student there. As HM, he assisted a British Officer who worked with Sultan Abdul Samad.
Tok Zainal Klang married Nek Klang. Both were Malay, and originally from Banda Hilir, Melaka.
Tok Zainal Klang married Nek Klang. Both were Malay, and originally from Banda Hilir, Melaka.
Their 2 daughters (Nya Intan and Nya Elok) looked Chinese, were thin and tall, and wore kebaya panjang. "Nya" refers to Nyonya, meaning Chinese ladies. Nya Intan was older than Nya Elok. Nya Intan was Tok Zainal Klang's daughter. Nya Elok was Tok Zainal Klang's adopted daughter.
The relatives in Klang knew about an incident when Nek Inchek hit her first child's head (Mak Ainon's head) and it bled. It became a criminal case. At the court hearing Walid said he did it (and Nenek Inchek went scot-free). Walid underwent rigorous imprisonment (RI) for 2 months (60 days) for a crime which he did not commit. Walid lost his government job as an entomologist but some relative got him his previous job (reinstated). Walid was very brave to stand in for his beloved Nek Inchek whom he loved dearly. Nek Inchek went on to have 14 more children! Bapak still respects his mother despite the incident.
