The article discusses Malayan society. For over twenty-five years, the author was a professional "imperialist," which is merely to say that, happening to be British and anxious to see the world, he gravitated into one of those nice, sheltered, proconsular jobs open to young men of his particular background. Malaya was small and only just beginning to be opened up on a considerable scale, and although already a "plural" society consisting of Malay, Chinese, and Indian communities as yet unfused, it was peaceful and prosperous and had no domestic politics worthy of the name. |
