SEREMBAN: Nadarajah Krishnapillai vividly remembers the call he got over a year ago from his brother Chris when the latter was appointed the first Malaysian-born Mayor of a town in West Yorkshire, England. It was Chris calling to inform his 'anne' (big brother) that he had just been elected mayor of Calderdale. "My brother had been a councillor for several terms, but who would have dreamt that he would be mayor one day?" Nadarajah said that his brother truly deserved the appointment as he was a hardworking and helpful person by nature. Chris' parents pooled their savings together to fund their son's journey to the United Kingdom.
