Question

mengapakah british memberi tumpuan kepada kegiatan ekonomi moden di tanah melayu?

Answer 1

English Translation:

Why did the British focus on modern economic activities in Malay land?

Foreign investments in the rubber and tin industries occurred throughout the colonial era. The majority of capital investments came from the British. Although the specific allocation of money by foreign nationals cannot be calculated, it may be said that British investments make up more than 70% of all foreign investments in Malaya. British investments were reportedly worth 33 million pounds in 1913 and 108 million pounds in 1930.

• Because the production of primary commodities and minerals at the time was what drove Malaya's economy, the effort was concentrated on the extraction and manufacture of raw materials and primary commodities.
• Between 1909 and 1911, British involvement in Malaya's rubber industry was hinted at.
• The formation of the Currency Board in 1899 and the Currency Reform of 1903–1906—among other factors—have supported economic, trade, and development growth, as evidenced by commerce and foreign investment in Malaya at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
• Additional factors include the rising global demand for rubber and tin, British dominance over the Federated Malay States, which produce tin, worsening working conditions, and British land mine policy.
