Not legally a colony =/= full sovereignty
as a protectorate,we listened to what big brother say but we regained our full sovereignty from the brits at independence.
some might argue tat already means we r colony.. but as I said both opinions are accurate depending on ur definition of colony.
They may be freedom fighters but they killed civilians and police personnel who was just keeping the peace (ie not fighting communists). So hard to see them as national heros in the same way as tunku abd rahman.. tats how i see it..
Simplely put...the police tu at the time on who's payroll?as a protectorate,we listened to what big brother say but we regained our full sovereignty from the brits at independence.

if Sultan then you can say they serve the Sultan..but if they are on brits payroll then...well....means they work for brits
Apparently..everyone is missing the point that Rachel put..if Khoo Kay Kim's view is taken true..it would also mean that countries like India or Burma was never colonized..
I shudder to think what the Indians will say if you tell them that...
