- Title
Discipline and delegation: colonial governance in Malayan towns, 1880–1930.
- Authors
LEES, LYNN HOLLEN
- Abstract
British colonial administrators had two strategies for governing towns in Malaya during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They used Sanitary Boards to improve public health and to control populations indirectly, and they relied on police forces for direct forms of discipline. Both strategies reveal the overall weakness of the British colonial regime in that region.
