Book Description
This important study describes the origins and development of Malay secret societies in the northern states of the Malay peninsula between 1821 and 1941. The author focuses on the activities of several organizations, including the Red Flags and White Flags in Penang, Perak and Kedah. These societies had their beginnings as welfare and religious associations, but often degenerated into criminal activities. Their involvement often led to disturbances at Boria musical performances, the Muharam celebrations and soccer matches.

Book Description
This book examines how Chinese family and business networks, focused around activities such as revenue farming, including opium, the rice trade, and pawnbroking, and related legal and labour organization activities, were highly influential in the process of state formation in Malaya. It shows how Chinese family and business networks were flexible and dynamic, and were closely interlocked with economic and social structures, around which government, and states, developed. It considers the crucial role of wealth and power in the process of state formation, and challenges accepted views of Chinese ethnicity and migration.
