Federation of Malaya
Federation of Malaya
Federation of Malaya The Federation of Malaya (Malay: Persekutuan Tanah Melayu), was a federation of 11 states formed on January 31, 1948 from the nine Malay states and the British settlements of Penang and Malacca. From 1946 to 1948, the 11 states formed a single crown colony known as the Malayan Union. Due to opposition from Malay nationalists, the Union was disbanded and replaced by the Federation of Malaya, which restored the symbolic positions of the rulers of the Malay states. Within the Federation, while the Malay states were protectorates of the United Kingdom, Penang and Malacca remained British colonial territories. Like the Malayan Union before it, the Federation did not include Singapore, which before this time had usually been considered to be part of Malaya. The Federation achieved independence within the Commonwealth of Nations on August 31, 1957. In 1963, the federation together with Singapore, Sarawak and British North Borneo (which was renamed Sabah) formed a new federation called Malaysia. Singapore separated from Malaysia to become an independent republic on August 9, 1965. -From Wikipedia

Malayan Union
Malayan Union
The Malayan Union was a confederation of the Malay states and the Straits Settlements excluding Singapore, which was placed as a crown colony under direct British rule. It was the successor to British Malaya and was conceived to simplify the administration of British colonies in the Malay Peninsula. It was formed on April 1, 1946 by the British. Few of the key details of the Union were: Malayan citizenship that would give equal rights to all would be citizens regardless of race citizenship based on the jus soli principle the transformation of the title Sultan to President. In a way, the Sultans, the traditional rulers of the Malay states, would concede all their powers to the British Crown except in the matters of culture and religion. The Union would be ultimately placed under the rule of a British Governor. The idea of the Union was first expressed by the British on October 1945 in the aftermath of the Second World War by the British Military Administration. Sir Harold MacMichael was assigned the task of gathering the Malay state rulers' approval for the Malayan Union in the same month. In a short period of time, he managed to obtain all the Rulers' signatures through intimidation. On April 1, 1946, the Malayan Union officially came into existence with Sir Edward Gent as its first governor. The capital of the Union was Kuala Lumpur. -From Wikipedia.

Bukit Timah KTM
Bukit Timah KTM
The Bukit Timah Railway Station was opened in 1915 as part of the Singapore-Kranji Railway, also known as the Singapore Government Railway. Constructed between 1900 and 1902, the line ran from the terminal at Tank Road towards Woodlands via Cuppage Road, Newton Circus, Cluny Road (where Adam Flyover is today) and finally to Bukit Timah, before proceeding to Kranji and Woodlands where it continued to Malaysia via the former Federated Malay States Railway. Before the causeway was opened in 1923, passengers had to take a ferry across the Straits of Johor to continue their train ride. In 1918, the government of the Federated Malay States purchased all the properties and lands of Singapore Railway for $4136000 and was renamed as the Federated Malay States Railway. Today the Malayan Railway is known as Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad, a Malaysian corporation wholly-owned by the Malaysian Government. In 1932, the new Tanjong Pagar terminal station was completed and the original line from Tank Road to Bukit Timah was dismantled around seven years later due to dwindling passenger flow. Due to changes in immigration policies in 1993 when the immigration checkpoint at Tanjong Pagar was moved to Woodlands, the Bukit Timah station is now only used for crossings and there are no longer boarding of passengers or collection of cargo at this station. However, there is an interesting daily routine here where the exchanges of key tokens take place. The exchange of tokens serves as proof of <b>...</b>

HM King Chulalongkorn RAMA V the Great of Siam [ Thailand ]
KING CHULALONGKORN [ RAMA V ] 1868 -1910 Also known as Phra Chula Chomklao Chaoyuhua, and the eldest son of King Rama IV, he was born in Bangkok on September 20, 1853 and was crowned King on October 1, 1868, following the death of his father. The first few years of his reign were under a regency. King Chulalongkorn is perhaps the most revered of all the Chakri Kings--during his long reign of 42 years 23 days great advances were achieved for the country. The King actively pursued a policy of "modernizing" the country and had a number of Europeans in his service to oversee such projects as the building of the first railway in Thailand. He himself made two visits to Europe, one in 1897 and another in 1907, during which he became acquainted with most of the rulers of Europe. Bonds of friendship between himself and the various European royal families were formed which exist to the present day. Not only was he the first Thai king to travel abroad [ he made several visits to the Straits Settlements, the Malay States and the Dutch East Indies ] but he also sent his sons to study in Europe [ to school in England and later for military training to Denmark, Germany and Russia ]. He successfully managed to cultivate the idea of Siam as a buffer state between the colonial possessions of the European powers in South-East Asia. The price he paid of losing certain border territories was amply rewarded, for Siam was never colonized - the only country in the region to maintain its <b>...</b>

SIAMESE and Yuonese imperialists who have the same ambitious gaols are trying every means to wipe out Khmer race on the World Map once and for all since they were both brutally forced out of China. And the ambitions of expanding Thai to conquer its neighbours are so great worried for Kampuchean people. Siamese population are growing so fast, which there is no a green sign that can be stopped in the future. Khmer will surely face the great danger to the fast-growing population of Siamese, eventually. Is Siam really great danger to the future of Kampuchea? Once the Siamese populations are growing so fast like that; the ambitious goals also grow into the hearts of Siamese imperialist leaders who would/will have a wild daydream of plundering more lands of Cambodians both in the past and present days. So they would/will have become the wicked imperial expansionism and ultra-nationalism/chauvinism and fascism. All Siamese students and intellectuals who are always brainwashed that Kampuchea is still belong to them in their wild day dream. Very long, long time ago, Siam used to be the Hereditary Enemy of Khmer. This evidently adversary is still in radical of the two nations history. Its quite right about the problem, which is asked of how the fate of Khmer and Siam are going to be in the future?

While seeking close economic links with Japan, Germany and Italy, Siam did not wish to do so at the cost of older ties with countries such as Britain. At the end of 1938, however, when the pro-Japanese Phibun Songkhram became prime minister, the country embarked upon a short-lived experiment in fascism. In 1939 and 1940 political tension was high in Europe and the Thais seized the opportunity to confront the French. A series of border incidents were sufficient to raise patriotic fervour among the public, and early in 1941 a Thai army invaded Cambodia and Laos. The Japanese brought pressure upon both the agreement was reached. The French ceded Laotian and Cambodian territory which they had obtained in 1907, and the Thais were elated that they had so rapidly satisfied their revanchist aims at the expense of a great colonial empire. In 1940, the Second World War initially seemed destined, like the 1914 war, to be fought out largely on European soil, and the Thais once more stressed their neutrality. However, in 1941 tensions rose in Asia, and in December the Japanese entered the conflict in spectacular fashion. On 7 December, the same day as Pearl Harbour, Japanese troops invaded Thailand, and a few hours later the Thai government announced a cease fire. Within a fortnight Japan and Thailand had singed a formal treaty of alliance, and soon after that, repudiating recently-signed non-aggression pacts; Thailand declared war against Britain and the United States.

Forced labour was used in its construction. About 180000 Asian labourers and 60000 Allied prisoners of war (POWs) worked on the railway. Of these, around 90000 Asian labourers and 16000 Allied POWs died as a direct result of the project. The dead POWs included 6318 British personnel, 2815 Australians, 2490 Dutch, about 356 Americans and a smaller number of Canadians. A railway route between Thailand and Burma had been surveyed at the beginning of the 20th century, by the British government of Burma, but the proposed course of the line — through hilly jungle terrain divided by many rivers — was considered too difficult to complete. In 1942, Japanese forces invaded Burma from Thailand and seized it from British control. To maintain their forces in Burma, the Japanese had to bring supplies and troops to Burma by sea, through the Strait of Malacca and the Andaman Sea. This route was vulnerable to attack by Allied submarines, and a different means of transport was needed. The obvious alternative was a railway. The Japanese started the project in June 1942.
