Poh Leng SEOW (1883 - 1942) Seow Poh Leng, the second son of Seow Chye Watt was born in 1883. He was for many years the cashier at John Little & Co. Ltd., from which position he later resigned to enter into the rice business. After spending two years in a Chinese school, he was sent to Eastern school and finished his schooling at the Anglo-Chinese school which had absorbed the latter institution. He competed for the Queen's Scholarships in 1902, but although he stood high among the candidates, he failed to win the much-coveted prize, and attributed his failure to the fact that he had to divide his time between his duties as a pupil teacher and preparing for the examinations. --- http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=lawrencetan&id=I55
