Speaking for myself, my earliest recollection was being carried by my Dad who was standing on a road and seeing ships passing in the horizon. I knew that I used to stay at a single-story house in Choong Lye Hock Road, Penang and some years ago, I actually stopped by at this very house.
Guess what ? Standing on Hock Hin Terrace, just beside my house, I could see ships passing by in the horizon !
Now, when was that ? Well, I remembered seeing cars plastered with pictures of sailing ships going around. Now what does that mean ? Well, in August 1959, there was a Malayan General Election and the symbol of the Alliance Party was the Sailing ship ! Given that I was born in 1957, my earliest recollection was at 2.25 years old :-)
It may be relevant to note that the next Malaysian General Election was in 1964 and by then I was already in Standard One and living at Immigration Road in Georgetown.
