Chapter 871 – Malayan Household Registration System

“Unsurprisingly, once the city construction begins, this wave can increase the colony’s income significantly.” At the Malaya Administrative Office, a group of officials gathered to discuss how this time the city construction would move forward.

West Malaysia Commissioner Alisa and the commissioners of the four major cities, including Everett, were all present to share their experiences with each other.

“The main focus is to absorb the Chinese as the population of the city, and incorporate them with a high standard of modern living, as to how to keep the Malay’s happy? The main focus is that the Chinese entering the city can reduce the competition with the Malays in terms of land.” Alan Wilson toyed with a fountain pen and gave a wink at Alisha, meaning to let her get on with this.

“Actually, according to our general survey, the Chinese do accumulate wealth much faster than the Malays.” Richard nodded his head in favor, “And from the population distribution, the Chinese in the tendency to hold together, the place of residence is also very concentrated, including Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca and Singapore, the three places that were formerly part of the Straits Settlements, the Chinese proportion degree is very high.”

“So that’s a good foundation, saving us some energy.” Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, “I don’t want to take out substandard products, it’s not impossible to get the Chinese to shell out their money, but let them feel that they get what they pay for.”

“A few of us talked it over, Commissioner.” Everard exchanged glances with a few regional commissioners before speaking, “We think that the city construction should still be predominantly British, and the people who plan and design it are all from London anyway. The remaining problem is that the construction of the subway should not be rushed, and the profit is likely to be small.”

“Good, just listen to you guys.” Alan Wilson directly recognized, he also investigated the subway facilities in detail after returning from London.

Then found out that the London subway was surprisingly losing money, this fact stimulated the memories in his head.

The only subway in the world that didn’t lose money in the latter days was in Xiangjiang. The rest of the subway facilities, whether in London, Paris or Berlin, all need the country’s financial subsidies, as for a certain infrastructure maniac is no exception, the country’s major cities run the subway, there is a count one are in the middle of the loss.

This set on the Malayan colony, the public expenditure alone will be greatly increased, probably only Singapore’s subway can lose less, the rest have to be subsidized by the colonial government. Knowing this fact, the MRT in Alan Wilson’s eyes became a face-saving project.

Anyway, there is no population pressure in the colony, he never mentioned anything about the subway again, the four regional commissioners this time denied the construction of the subway, he directly agreed.

“The Administrative Bureau side to start working on perfecting the colony’s resident identity and household registration system, mainly divided into two sets of documents, the family-based household register and the individual-oriented ID card, the latter from the age of sixteen, masking helps our management. Special attention should be paid to one point, to distinguish ethnicity, add the ethnicity column on the identity card to distinguish between Chinese and Malays, this is the approximate style.”

Alan Wilson took out the paper in a format similar to that of the latter-day ID cards, emphasizing, “Pamela has contacted the local chemical companies, and will provide samples for making ID cards.”

Several colonial government officials, who took the styles and passed them around to each other, nodded with satisfaction, “Commissioner, what a good idea.”

Britain of course had a similar household registration system, developed during the enclosure movement, but after the industrial revolution it had already existed in name only, what kind of household book, ID card and other things, at least the British could not see.

“Other civilizations have something for us to learn from.” Alan Wilson for his own again shamelessly copied East Asian characteristics, do not feel embarrassed, as we all know I Great Britain in the management of colonies, has never been into the local customs, fully learn from the experience of other civilizations, so that the long term, and even beyond.

Alan Wilson is a reference, the new China, in addition to the redistribution of land, but also carried out a strict household registration system, each farmer can only live on their own land, and can not be relocated to foreign countries, or else be repatriated back to the original place of domicile, and its purpose is also to prevent the land from being annexed again.

He is now considered to be ahead of the curve, as China is still in the pipeline and has not officially implemented it. But the same household registration system existed in previous dynasties, so he’ll say it’s okay to be a hero.

“The Chinese have such a tradition and should have no problem accepting it, the Malays will have some difficulty.”

After some discussion, the people felt that the household registration and identity system was good for the colonial government, and that it would make it easier to control the movements under their rule. The difficulty in implementing it lies above the Malays.

“Co-issued with the current year’s Immigration Control Ordinance, under the pretext that poor neighboring countries often smuggle people into the Malayan colony. Strictly regulate the entry and exit provisions, issued a decree that from now on the Malayan colony will be male stowaways all repatriated.”

Alan Wilson while thinking, “Go and discuss with the editors of the major newspapers, give me a big game of chess to analyze the perspective, the perspective includes but is not limited to, foreign stowaways take jobs from the locals, from the male perspective, you can analyze that the colonial government is to ensure the balance of the local male to female ratio, taking into account the well-being of the men’s net one side, repatriation of only the male stowaways, it’s not difficult, is it? ?”

“Of course it’s not difficult!” Richard and others in their hearts, nothing more than Malaya won hemp again, what is the difficulty.

Alan Wilson incidentally did not change his Saigon Boxing Champion style, and made a wave of benefits for the male residents of the Malayan colony.

It can’t be helped, all generations of rebels have been dominated by men, and he must prioritize the interests of men. Who let him still be prepared to use men as livestock.

This was the case in the Malayan colonies, Malays were allowed to marry four under the Shariah and Chinese were allowed to have concubines under the Qing law, the size of which depended on the number of rich men, so what could he do?

Most places in this world have a little higher birth rate for boys than girls, Eastern Europe is an exception somehow.

Malaya also has a higher birth rate of boys than girls as does most of the world, with the addition of the Great Ching Laws and teachings. There is a subset of men who are destined to have a hard time settling for life.

These men were a destabilizing factor, and even if there was no way to overthrow British colonial rule, it was annoying to have Jack the Ripper all the time.

This problem can not be solved by conventional means, so we can only think of ways to solve the problem from the surrounding poor countries, as long as the other countries are worse off than me, I win, let the surrounding neighbors to solve the problem of the shortage of women.

“Just like in New Delhi, first mobilize the atmosphere to me, this year will be the year of change in Malaya.” Alan Wilson set a tone, the crowd nodded and left the administration office to split up and get ready.

Public opinion preparation, about the Indonesians say no, the body is very honest, and when and stand to smuggle Malaya’s behavior. First on the major newspapers to be verbally attacked. This is considered to provide public opinion for the immigration regulations and household identity cards established.

It did not require his special concern to continue to surround himself with ladies of equal status with his wife. It wasn’t easy for Bokina to come here once, and he couldn’t let people down who had traveled a long way to get here.

Admittedly, there had been some unpleasantness in the past, but her help might be needed in the future, and it was important to look at things with a developmental eye; changes were always occurring in the world situation.

“Look!” Anna boasted, pointing to her abdomen, “I couldn’t tell for the first few months even if I had. Mainly because of the large capacity of the production plant, it looks much more hidden than other women.”

“Hmph!” Bokina was unmoved, not even bothering with the sister who was full of wanting to take the easy way out, “Having child after child, that’s all you’re worth in this world.”

“How am I considered a heroic mother in this country? I can’t even say that without a year of maternity leave. Like you?” Anna was old-fashioned and shaking on her feet, “It’s all about creating value, and work doesn’t discriminate between high and low ……”

She felt that Bogina’s coldness could be attributed to jealousy, posing what strong woman’s demeanor, have the ability not to come over, but also across 10,000 kilometers, specifically come over to let their own men whoring for nothing.

Allen Wilson is to twelve hundred thousand energy into the work, which have time to think of children’s private love here, nothing to hang the camera, invited the Great British treasure and her friends, for the city of Malaya to take publicity photos.

And the discussion about the stowaways taking jobs and women is getting better by the day.

All the major newspapers called on the colonial government to make sure that local employment was safeguarded, and the estimates of folk who were not originally residents of the colony were exaggerated one by one, ranging from two hundred thousand to a million.

The Star exclaimed, “The succession of stowaways has become the main problem Malaya will have to face. Commissioner Wilson should pay more attention to this problem.”

This appeal for the attention of the Lt. Governor finally brought Alan Wilson’s attention back from the Golden Twelve.

The Malayan Immigration Regulations and the Household Identity Card System were proposed at the same time, accompanied by the documents on the clearance of black households and the repatriation of stowaways were published, and a spokesman for the Executive Office said to the public, “This will be the main focus of the Anglo-Malayan Government in 1956, and a heavy-handed action will be taken against all stowaways.”

“But? The exception is women, although this is a strong statement from the Anglo-Malaysian government to curb the tide of stowaways. But a woman risking her life to come to Malaya in pursuit of a better life, and for us to repatriate her back, and perhaps persecute her, may not be justifiable on a moral level, is neither ethical nor gentlemanly, and is not an option for the UK.”

The words of the spokesman for the …… Executive Office drew a round of applause, and the big flag party reappeared, as the whispers about women staying to keep the men happy began to circulate again amongst the population.

“So what’s so hard about it, the commissioners around the country count the population to establish a household register, and the ID card thing starts in a few months.” Alan Wilson picked up the phone and asked Richard to inform the local commissioners to implement the household registration system.
