The Python's Grip
註釋In post-colonial Malaya, foreign owned plantations continue to thrive, to provide the necessary largesse for the British monarchy or Empire. Upon the invitation of one of the Malay royalties, the first British administrator for the Straits Settlement was appointed. His name was: James WW. Birch. What was expected to be a positive experiment however, turned bad instead. Quickly it ushered in a period of very difficult and tumultuous diplomacy, leading to Birch's shocking murder...the rest is history; followed by a frighful sequel of events, affecting a prosperous riverine town. Whether you live in a moral universe or a more naturalistic one, your response and conclusions would stand apart. Read and judge for yourself whether the axiom, "A Person's Character is His Destiny or Fate," is a true or false one! This may be the only bridge which can unify any fundamental disagreement existing between readers of differing times and culture.
