Wong Nai Siong
The second batch of immigrants was led by Wong Nai Song personally from Fujian. However, during their stop in Singapore, rumours of the villagers being sold as coolies resulted in a riot. Wong Nai Siong, with the help of the priest from the Methodist Episcopal Church, was able to stop the rioting. On 5 March 1901, the immigrants left Singapore; they reached Sibu eleven days later.
