From The Back Cover:
'British Malaya' was a politico-geographical expression which embraced the Straits Settlements and those Malay States which were under the Residential system. The present study is confined to the latter-Perak, Selangor, Pahang and Negri Sembilan-which after 1895 became known as the Federated Malay States.
Studies of Malaya have hitherto been directed at constitutional or political or economic aspects of British Colonial policy to the exclusion of administrative or social problems. This work is an attempt at drawing together such apparently disparate subjects as labour and education, medical research and the rubber industry, tin mining and the development of communications, currency matters and immigration policies, and constitutional reforms. In consequence, much new and comparatively unknown material is brought to light.
Mr. Chai Hon-Chan is one of the very first Malayans to write in English about the history of his own country and this well-informed study will provide the reader accustomed to the writings of expatriates which hitherto have monopolised the field, with a fresh viewpoint, expressed dispassionately and with clarity.
