1918

Datuk Basil Temenggong (11 October 1918 – 22 September 1984) was a Malaysian clergyman in the Anglican Church.

Temenggong was born in 1918 at Pasa, an Iban longhouse a mile downriver from Betong, in what was then the Raj of Sarawak.

He was educated at St Augustine's mission school in Betong and, after completing Standard 6, at St Thomas's School in Kuching.

He returned to Betong, and for a short while he taught, before seeking ordination.

1939

In 1939 he went to Bishop's College, Calcutta, for training for ordination.

1941

He was ordained deacon in 1941 and priest in 1943.

He was an assistant chaplain at St Thomas's, Calcutta (1941–43) and at Asansol (1943–46).

In the latter post, he found himself ministering to allied soldiers massing at the border, waiting to fight the Japanese.

1946

1968
