HAND DREW 10 CENTS JIM PAPER BANKNOTE
A Hand Drew Malaya Japanese Occupation 10 Cents Paper Banknote.
Among the numismatists visited my Dickson Niew Collection shop at Subang Jaya recently, Mr. Loh Kai Lin, a 68 years old man came to visit me with his family. He showed me his collection of coins and banknotes.
While going through his collections , one particular paper banknote caught my attention is a Malaya Japanese Occupation 10 cents paper banknote. It is a weird colored 10 cents banknote.
Mr Loh Kai Lin told me this 10 cents JIM note was drew by his uncle Mr. Loh Weng Kuan during the period of Japanese invasion of Malaya from 1942 to 1945. During then he was only 3 years old. He said his uncle had drew a couple of pieces. But he was caught and brought away by the Japanese army when a "Japanese Running Dog" (Informer) reported to the Japanese authority about his uncle activity. Since then, they have never seen his uncle again.
This piece of "priceless artwork" was given to him by his uncle's family in the later year. He has been keeping it until now, he said he will not parts away this JIM notes because it has a very special sentimental value to him. He hopes his children will inherit this note for many generation.
I am very amazed with his uncle's fine artwork.
