Sports
Eu took a keen interest in horse-racing, motoring and rifle-shooting. He imported the first motor car into Perak.
Eu was also the pioneer of Singapore to bring in calf racing. Calf racing evolves around two men and two calfs. Then, they will ride the calf through a series of obstacles before finally falling into pool of water. The men then will have to finally swim to land and run back to the starting point, the first becoming the winner.
