Abstract

Chinese in Malaya: Anti-Colonialism Comes First

Tan, T. H. | December 25, 1954 issue

The article discusses Malayan Society. Time was when Malaya, southeastern appendage of the continent of Asia, was at peace-with itself and the rest of the world. Its tranquility was not disturbed even when the great revolutionary leader, Suu Yat-Sen, sought refuge and help in Singapore in the early years of this century. The first political stirrings in Singapore were expressed in anti-Japanese slogans; later, when the Japanese invaded China in 1937, there was dirt-smearing and ear-cutting. Politics in the peninsula today are concerned less with specific ideologies than with winning independence.
