  1. Hi Dickson,
    Yes, the Pictorial guide book to grading which is with us shows the earliest photograph of Mr. Saran like the one shown here.
    The only difference is that the blank and white photo here shows Mr. Saran looking to the left while the one in the book shows he is looking to the right.
    It will be great if we could get all his book listed here.
    Thank you so much, Dickson :)

  2. Hi Mr.Dickson,
    Sesuai dengan pengorbanan dan jasa beliau kepada Malaysia,bidang sains Numismatik khususnya. Selayaknya beliau menerima anugerah yg lebih tinggi sebagaimana dianugerah kepada ahli sukan dan hiburan.
    Dengan penglibatan yg begitu lama dibidang numismatik dan perbagai buku yg di tulis tentu beliau telah banyak memperkenalkan negara Malaysia kepada dunia disudut yang jarang diceburi oleh rakyat Malaysia ini.
    Terima kasih banyak-banyak Mr.Niew

  3. Dear whycollect,
    He left only a few copies intended for his children and grad children.
    Couple of his books are no more in circulation, you need to get them from other collectors if you are lucky!

  5. Hi Dickson.
    Send our thanks to Saran Singh for sharing his story. I had been the fan of his writing since I start blogging in 2008. Wish all his book will be republish by MNS in the near future. Its hard to find publication about Malaysia Numismatic compare to other country.

    When you told me that you want to write a blog, I feel glad that a sifu like you will add something for us to read. Wish you too will write your own book one day. Especially about Malaysia error coins, not everyone have the knowledge like yours.

    Keep on writing.

    Thank you very much and needed your guidance to better my Blog!
