The local company was first incorporated on 30th Dec 1957 as GREEN SPOT (BORNEO) BHD.frightricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053251191182368839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546144304817504265.post-63652725234909274512009-12-05T01:22:29.845+08:002009-12-05T01:22:29.845+08:00May i know the exact location of the old/original ...May i know the exact location of the old/original F&N factory in Kuching, Sarawak?frightricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053251191182368839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546144304817504265.post-71201606070163505312008-12-14T22:08:00.000+08:002008-12-14T22:08:00.000+08:00Dear YThank you for visiting.

There in their rooms, we would find bottles of Green Spot in the fridge. Occasionally, my mother would allow me to take out one bottle and drink it. What luxury and bliss! And what childhood memories! :)YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546144304817504265.post-15335302190768218842008-12-11T05:18:00.000+08:002008-12-11T05:18:00.000+08:00Hi DCNice to remember Fraser and Neave.

Is the old building still there?<BR/><BR/>I still remember that there was one General Question which was "What does F and N stand for?" And those of us who had some F and N could answer the question and spell the words Fraser and Neave!! Check the bottom of the bottle if you have it in your collection. In our plastic throw away age glass bottles are very rare and people have forgotten how proud tradespeople were of their brands. They carved their names in and their products 50 years ago. Although some still do.I Am Sarawakianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200800879915444217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546144304817504265.post-65016550295584729442008-12-10T19:51:00.000+08:002008-12-10T19:51:00.000+08:00Hi Abana...I must be your super senior at school?N...Hi Abana...I must be your super senior at school?<BR/><BR/>Nice of you to drop by my blog...each article is like a preparation for a class...it is always nice to be able to explain things.<BR/><BR/>Hope to hear from you too.I Am Sarawakianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200800879915444217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546144304817504265.post-69364521249119248412008-12-10T19:50:00.000+08:002008-12-10T19:50:00.000+08:00Hi SL ..how are you?
