The Secrets of Arab Street

My father was a sales manager for Fraser and Neave (F&N), then bottlers of Coca-Cola and producers of the local Tiger beer. He was offered the desirable job at a young age because of his soccer skills.

My father was recruited to play for the company team against the various trading houses established by the British. At F&N, as it was usually called, he handled several accounts and forged close friendships with many of his restaurant clients, including a famous Indian-Muslim restaurant called Jubilee.
