In Search of Burgess: Kuala Kangsar clocktower to King's Pavilion
Burgess's daily commute, which he undertook on foot, took him down the steps in front of King's Pavilion and along the road to the clocktower, thence via the 'oldest rubber tree' across the playing field to Malay College. He arrived at the college drenched in sweat. He, like Crabbe, would not drive. He was never to learn to drive. This explains why so many of his homes are within very easy walking distance of railway stations: Etchingham, Chiswick, St Margarets, Marylebone, the Condamine. The chief exceptions are the houses at Callian (a fifteen-mile drive away from the station at Grasse) and Savosa (a couple of miles from the station), but by that time he had his second wife to ferry him around in a second-hand Mercedes.
Visiting Historical Site, Kuala Kangsar, Perak, Malaysia. Part 3 of 3 (Eng Sub)
The term British Malaya loosely describes a set of states on the Malay Peninsula and the island of Singapore that were brought under British control between the 18th and the 20th centuries.
British Malaya comprised the Straits Settlements, the Federated Malay States and the Unfederated Malay States. Under British rule, Malaya was one of the most profitable territories of the Empire, being the world's largest producer of tin and later rubber.
The Pangkor Treaty of 1874 was a treaty signed between the British and the Sultan of Perak. Signed on 20 January 1874, on HMS Pluto, anchored off the island of Pangkor (off the coast of Perak), the treaty is significant in the history of the Malay states as it legitimised British control of the Malay rulers and paved the way for British imperialism in Malaya. (Wikipedia)
Since Kuala Kangsar is the Royal town of Perak, there’s a lot of British influence buildings and traditional Royal houses. In this video I highlighted a few that have significant impact on Malaysia, there are more significant sites that I did not show in this video.
Even though Malaya got her independence in 1957, later joined by Sabah and Sarawak in 1963 and rename to Malaysia, the positive impact of British rule is apparent in:-
1) 60% of Malaysia population can speak English
2) Rubber – Malaysia produces a vast amount of rubber product.
3) Tin – the British turned it into a huge industry. Mining Industry attracted many Chinese immigrant in the 18th and 19th centuries to work and develop the mine fields.
4) Multiculturalism – Malaysia can boast a vast number of ethnicities.
5) The food – The British did not change the local palate but the waves of migration, especially the Chinese, Indian and Eurasian (mixed of Europe and Asia parentage). With the local Malay and other local Ethnic minorities developed many fusions cuisines.
6) Infrastructure – Railways system were built for growing exports.
7) Architecture – When Malaya getting prosperous, many buildings and Infrastructures have been built. All these buildings funded from State Government or British Individual who became rich who had invested in rubber and tin.
8) Education – The most important heritage – in a way influence the Malaysia education system.
In search of a used car deal: Kuala Kangsar — Adams, Rivers, Crabbe and an Abelard
This rubber tree, in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, is one of the oldest in Malaya. Extract from 'Time for a Tiger' (1956): Listen. Nabby Adams returned to Urdu. We are going to injure a car. We then shall buy it. Then we shall sell it. We shall buy it cheap and sell it dear, as is the way of merchants.
I have no money to buy a car. Nor, I think, have you.
That is no matter. First we must get the car away from here. It is at the front of the Club. It is an Abelard. Then we shall do what things are meet to be done.
Nabby Adams and Alladad Khan walked quietly through the dark to the parking area of the Club. The polished Abelard shone ghostly, a vision of the future, in the faint street-lamp. From within the Club came ball-clicks and happy cries. Alladad Khan evinced little enthusiasm for Nabby Adams's plan.It is a simple matter of making the engine seem hard to start and to knock violently also. Wait here.
Nabby Adams entered the Club again. There were only a few colours left on the table.Dalam the hole.
Into the lobang.
The neat Malay major, cat-graceful, sleek with toothed charm, sank the blue.
Nabby Adams said to Rivers, Can I just try it out?
Are you going to buy it?
I think I can raise the money.
Rivers fumbled in his pocket, found the ignition-key and threw it over. It was fixed by a ring to a tiny model of a bulldog. Nabby Adams caught it in huge fielding paws.
Look after it. Don't be too long.
Outside the Club Nabby Adams said to Alladad Khan, First you shall drive to the Paradise Cabaret.
Why?
To sell the car to Mr. Crabbe.
You promised you would introduce me to the memsahib.
One thing at a time. There is no call for impatience.
How can we sell the car when we have not yet bought it?
I will take charge of all that aspect of the matter.
10 Interesting Facts about Malaysia
1. One of Malaysia’s oldest names, Aurea Chersonesus, means “peninsula of gold.” It was given by Greco-Roman geographer Ptolemy in his book Geographia, written about A.D. 150. Malaysia is actually more famous as the world’s second largest producer of refined tin.
2. The name Malaysia may derive from the word Melayu, or Malay, that could come from the Sungai Melayu (Melayu River) in Sumatra. The river’s name is derived from the Dravidian (Tamil) word malai, or “hill.”
3. Malaysia is the only country that includes territory both on the mainland of Southeast Asia and in the islands that stretch between the Asian continental mass and Oceania.
4. Borneo is the third largest island in the world, after Greenland and New Guinea. Three countries share the island: the Independent Sultanate of Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
5. Malaysia’s Kuala Kangsar district office is the home of the last surviving rubber tree from the original batch brought by Englishman H.N. Ridley from London’s Kew Gardens in 1877.
6. Local time has been adjusted in peninsular Malaysia a total of eight times. The last adjustment happened on January 1, 1982, when Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, then prime minister, decided that the entire country would follow the time in Sabah and Sarawak. Before that, both islands were 30 minutes ahead of peninsular Malaysia.
