Today is the Sarawak Governor's birthday. Often on this occasion he would give honours to prominent people in the society. Margaret is to be awarded with a Pingat Bintang Kenyalang (Gold) on the occasion of the Governor's (TYT) birthday. This is the highest level for a government servant for that level. The next level is the Datuk category.
Our parents have died, otherwise, I am sure they would be very proud of her. The siblings rejoice with her achievement.
This was when Margaret was awarded with her PhD from the University of Christchurch. She did her studies in Lincoln College.
Last December, she visited New Zealand with her family. ( Sam is with them in the photo.) Her Alma mater welcomed her in Lincoln.
Margaret is an expert in plants, especially tropical plants. She conducts workshop for tour guides imparting her knowledge of Sarawak plants. I choose this native of Sarawak, the ginger flower to present to her. This is grown in the tropical green house in the Winter garden of the Auckland Domain.

Your sister is so beautiful, and smart as well. I know you are so proud of her. It is sad that your parents can't share in this great honor. The ginger flower, is that the same plant that ginger comes from? I have never seen one, it's beautiful.
