After Gaile married in 1979 Michael & Mai  returned to S.E.Asia to 
Bandar Sei Begawan, Brunei      
where Michael joined a small team (an administrator and an engineer) to commission the 
new hospital. After the Declaration of Independence he formed a local company to complete
 the hospital project and two private clinics in the Sultan's palace. 
 Mai's paintings were in demand (see Gallery) and they were very happy there for four and a half years. 

 

With our boat moored at the bottom of the garden it was easy to explore islands at sea, rivers and swamps. Since 1962, in Singapore, boating has been a family passion.
