He's the only one got assassinated. Other residents no problem at all.

The problem is good intention, but bad execution. Just like DAP leaders.
It takes a good understanding on social and psychology of targeted community and calculate the best way to execute the plan.

You try advice or even ask old timers to change something obsolete that they used to for decades. They wont budge bcoz of ego.
But if you tell a (made up) story about the benefits of new way experienced by others (trying not to sounds like giving advice), some of them would accept.

stop getting your worldview from wikipedia, the one-stop site for white imperialism

yup.....he wanted to "modernise" Perak.....one of the steps taken was to abolish slavery....but this wiill destroy the livelihoods of the orang besar.......You do know, that malays go into the jungle to enslave jakuns and negritos and whatever orang asli you can find inside....

Birch could have done better, be more diplomatic in modernising Perak...but of course, abrasive.

It's inaccurate to portray some anti-british malay figures as heros......because they have got their own agenda to go against the british....also, the british did not attack the Malay states per se, they were invited by the elites themselves to get involved in malay political struggles.

Lu sendiri tak sayang negeri sendiri, cari orang putih kasi campur tangan, maka lu gadai/khianat tanahair sendiri. Mau tuduh, tuduhlah orang sendiri, orang yang gadai negara, bukan british. Very true is today's UMNO vs PPBM VS PAS struggle, anything also can jual, anything also can gadai and compromise for the sake of power. No spine, no values, no virtues.....all orang kecil

wow.. lot of historian here now..
jww birch is good..commies is good..
what else.. yup..only jap is no good coz they defeat the ccp..

ini bukan worldview la, not opinions. is historical fact.

bumi ini milik siapa

History is written by winner. If you dont understand this fact maybe you should study more

Maharajalela's offer to stab Birch to death.
