The Crucible of the Malayan Nation
Like so many features of the British Empire, policy for colonial higher education was transformed during the Second World War. In 1945 the Asquith Commission established principles for its development, and in 1948 the Carr-Saunders report recommended the immediate establishment of a university in Malaya to prepare for self-government. This institution grew at a rate that surpassed expectations, but the aspirations of its founders were challenged …
Merdeka! Looking Back at Independence Day in Malaya, 31 August 19571
This article starts by examining the ceremonies in which the transfer of power from Britain was celebrated and legitimated half a century ago. It discusses Malay traditional rites which accompanied the birth of the nation-state and the rituals which the British devised to cover their retreat from empire. Both sides worked for a cordial hand-over in order to demonstrate to the world that the process was both right and effective. Such a smooth tran…
Annual General Meeting 8th May 2008 President's Address
Fellows of the Society and guests. I thank the Honorary Treasurer for his report on the accounts and for his stewardship of the Society's finances during the year
Leaders, Dissidents and the Disappointed
After the Second World War, the British embarked on a massive programme of university development in the colonies. At the same time more colonial students than ever before pursued higher education in the United Kingdom where they were excited by political freedom but troubled by living conditions and racial discrimination. The government now faced a colonial problem on the home front. Some suspected students of fomenting unrest in the empire; oth…

Chin Peng and the Struggle for Malaya
“Fifty years ago, the name of Chin Peng was feared almost as much as Osama bin Laden is today”. So wrote the Hong Kong-based journalist, Philip Bowring, in 2003. Fifty years ago the British empire, in the view of Field Marshal Montgomery, was locked in a struggle “between the East and West, between Communism and Democracy, between evil and Christianity”. It was a time when Chin Peng was Britain's enemy number one in Southeast Asia. A measure of h…

Britain and Brunei, 1945-1963
An organizing principle of Britain's pre-war empire was collaboration with indigenous monarchies. Secure on their thrones, they legitimated British rule as well as assisting it in practical ways. While friendly princes were assets, however, uncooperative ones could be liabilities; they might obstruct attempts to exploit their resources or to modernize their governments. After the Second World War, British priorities and strategies changed. With t…
Anniversary General Meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society, Thursday 8 May 2003
I should like to start by thanking the Honorary Treasurer for presenting his report for 2002. This time last year he likened 2001 to an annus horribilis and this year has been no better for the financial markets. Notwithstanding world crisis and depression, however, the Society's performance, as the Honorary Treasurer has pointed out, has borne comparison with appropriate benchmarks. I congratulate the Honorary Treasurer on his judicious manageme…

The Royal Asiatic Society Award 2001
At the start of the millennium Council reviewed medals and prizes and decided to discontinue the Gold Medal (which had not in any case been awarded for some time) and establish in its place the Society's Award. This Award will be made every two or three years in recognition of outstanding scholarship in Asian studies. Having considered a number of tenders, Council commissioned Ms Danuta Solowiej-Wedderburn to design and cast a medal bearing versi…

Conceptions of Community in Colonial Southeast Asia
It is a commonplace that European rule contributed both to the consolidation of the nation-states of Southeast Asia and to the aggravation of disputes within them. Since their independence, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam have all faced the upheavals of secessionism or irredentism or communalism. Governments have responded to threats of fragmentation by appeals to national ideologies like Sukarno's pancasi…
The Cambridge History of Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia has long been seen as a unity, although other terms have been used to describe it: Further India, Little China, the Nanyang. The region has had a protracted maritime history. Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity are all represented. It has seen a quintet of colonial powers - Britain, France, The Netherlands, Spain, the United States. Most recently, it has become one of the fastest growing parts of the world economy…

Constitutional Change in the Colonies, 1951–64
All colonial territories contained plural societies, but some displayed greater plurality than others. Despite the varied regional loyalties and ethnic composition of those colonies considered in the last Chapter, their internal divisions in the 1950s were muted to a significant extent. Even in Malaya, an underlying relative prosperity, decisive military action, and political cunning on the part of British policy-makers and nationalist leaders, w…

Imperial Security and Moslem Militancy, With Special Reference to the Hertogh Riots in Singapore (December 1950)
In the nineteenth century the British, Dutch, French and Russians bit deep into the Islamic world. European colonial power rested on the active support of Moslem rulers who, as leaders of clearly defined and hierarchical societies possessed of laws and monarchs, were attractive collaborators in the exercise of imperialism. With a pragmatism born of frontier experience, Europeans reached agreements with Islamic regimes throughout Asia and Africa. …

The Formation and First Years of the United Malays National Organization (U.M.N.O.) 1946–1948
The United Malays National Organization has been the strongest Malay political party since its foundation in May 1946; its leaders place it pre-eminent in the history of Malay nationalism and Malayan independence. Needless to say, these claims have been disputed by its opponents and queried by its students; not only have the origins of Malay nationalism been traced to the pre-war era, but also, it can be argued, in its early years the party's lea…

The Outbreak of the Second World War and the Mobilization of Colonial Resources
The outlook for any general reshaping of colonial policy in the summer of 1939 was, however, as uncertain as the international situation was tense. Not only had the ‘moral disarmament’ of empire not reached the point where the ‘dilemmas of trusteeship’ were easily resolved; it was still far from clear whether or to what extent the banner of colonial development and welfare being embroidered in the Colonial Office would prove an acceptable standar…
The Second World War
The Second World War heightened both the harsh reality and the rhetoric of imperial commitments. On the one hand it revealed Britain’s inability to defend a two-hemisphere empire, plunged the country deeper into debt, encouraged nationalist resistance and subjected Britain to American anti-imperialism. On the other hand, the concept of ‘trusteeship’ was refurbished in the fashionable language of ‘partnership’ and the government pledged itself not…
Native Administration, Local Government, and Political Change in British Africa, 1945–51
Political changes introduced during the war in colonial territories were, as was noted above, generally of an ad hoc and unco-ordinated nature. However, late in 1945 and in the following spring, the Colonial Office began to think much more systematically about colonial political development, above all in Africa. That it should have done so is not wholly surprising. The bureaucratic momentum towards specialization in subject departments reinforced…
The Colonial Empire in the 1930s
The history of colonial policy, especially as seen from the Colonial Office, has been marked by the tension between two general considerations. The view that colonial management should contribute significantly to Britain’s strength and well-being has commonly confronted another which has emphasized Britain’s moral or humanitarian obligation to promote the material welfare and general progress of colonial subjects. Frequently, of course, colonial …
International Problems and Imperial Policies East of Suez, 1945–51
By 1945 the Empire was at full stretch. From the Mediterranean to the Pacific the British faced herculean tasks of security and rehabilitation. In addition to re-establishing control over lost territories they occupied Italian colonies in Africa, and Dutch and French empires in South-east Asia. In 1946–7 1 million Britons were still in the armed forces. Yet Britain could ill afford the expense; she was indebted not only to the USA but to her own …
