Here is the English translation of the Chinese text:
Zhang Jiaren, resident here who hailed from Hainan, with the courtesy name Shoushan and the alias Wenxian, was a passionate advocate for national and social causes. He graduated eighth in his class in English school and was proficient in Chinese. He worked as a manager at 日理 bank and was a member of the Tongmenghui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance) . Currently, he is a correspondent for the United Chinese Library (Thong Tek Che Poh Soh) and the director of the Zhang's Press.
Known for his diligence and frugality, Zhang owns a rubber plantation of about 100 acres in Rengam area , employing more than ten workers. He personally visits the plantation every week for inspection. Recently, due to the low rubber prices, he planned to reduce the some of the workers. On the 23rd, he went to the plantation in the afternoon to handle this matter, but unexpectedly got into a dispute with the workers and was stabbed.
Initially, he was sent to a local hospital, but Zhang felt it was inappropriate and hired a car to transfer him to the hospital in Johor Bahru. Due to the long distance and time, he was extremely exhausted and in a critical condition when he arrived at the hospital. Upon receiving the news, Zhang's wife rushed to the hospital with their children, only to hear his groans, as he was unable to speak. The doctor had long anticipated no hope for recovery.
Zhang passed away at 6 a.m. this morning at the hospital. Due to the procedures related to his remains, his body was only transported back to his residence at No. 2, 26th Lor, Geylang , at 4 p.m. He was 59 years old and is survived by four sons and three daughters.
The funeral is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, the 25th, in the morning, with the burial taking place at the Municipal Council Cemetery.
