註釋

When George L. Peet arrived in Kuala Lumpur as the first correspondent for the Straits Times newspaper based in the city, the Federal capital was barely half a century old. Within living memory, it had been a Chinese mining village, but as the administrative headquarters of the Federated Malay States it had become a vibrant administrative and economic centre. Peet travelled throughout the peninsula gathering material for his newspaper columns, some of which are presented in this volume. An astute observer, he came to know Malaya well, but as a journalist he was detached not only from the societies and cultures of the Asian residents but also from the colonial establishment and expatriate society -- BACK COVER.
