    P. Post The formation of the pribumi business élite in Indonesia, 1930s-1940s In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde, Japan, Indonesia and the WarMyths and realities 152 (1996), no: 4, Leiden, 609-632 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com10/07/2021 10:20:54AM via free access PETER POST The formation of the pribumi business elite in Indonesia, 1930s-1940s Introduction1 On 19 May 1928, the Japanese-language newspaper published in Batavia, Java Nippo, annoyed by the anti-Japanese boycotts of Chinese traders, called for the elimination of Chinese intermediate trade in the Indies Archi- pelago and suggested that Japanese companies should contact European, indigenous, and Arab merchant houses. The newspaper stated that, were the Japanese to take natives as their business partners, this would indubit- ably stimulate indigenous commercial interest, which would benefit the progress of native society.2 This call for closer Japanese-indigenous business cooperation came at a time when Japan had emerged as the engine of the modern Asian economy (Sugihara 1990). Since the 1880s the industrial heart of the country, the Kobe-Osaka area, had developed into a dynamic, new industrial centre for Asia, redirecting existing trade patterns and commodity flows, and attracting Chinese, Arab, Indian, and local indigenous business groups in the region (Post 1993b). Recently Man Hou Lin (1993) has shown how Taiwanese merchants, who had hardly any experience in direct foreign trade prior to 1895, were able to play an important economic role in Fukien (South China) during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan.

  • George Town Or Georgetown , Is the Capital of the State of Penang In
    George Town[1] or Georgetown[2], is the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia. Named after Britain's King George III, George Town is located on the north-east corner of Penang Island and has about 220,000 inhabitants, or about 400,000 including the suburbs. Formerly a municipality and then a city in its own right, since 1976 George Town has been part of the municipality of Penang Island, though the area formerly governed by the city council is still commonly referred to as a city, and is also known as Tanjung ("The Cape") in Malay and 喬治市 (Qiáozhì Shì) in Chinese. [edit]History George Town was founded in 1786 by Captain Francis Light, a trader for the British East India Company, as base for the company in the Malay States. He obtained the island of Penang from the Sultan of Kedah and built Fort Cornwallis on the north-eastern corner of the island. The fort became the nexus of a growing trading post and the island's population reached 12,000 by 1804. The town was built on swampy land that had to be cleared of vegetation, levelled and filled. The original commercial town was laid out between Light Street, Beach Street (then running close to the seashore), Malabar Street (subsequently called Chulia Street) and Pitt Street (now called Masjid Kapitan Keling Street). The warehouses and godowns extended from Beach Street to the sea. By the 1880s, there were ghauts leading from Beach Street to the wharf and jetties as Beach Street receded inland due to land reclamation.

  • Malaysia: Rich Pickings with Little Risk
    A Global Business Reports and Uluslararası Medya Publication, presented with Chemical Week Malaysia: Rich Pickings with Little Risk This report was compiled by Global Business Reports after meeting ince its formation in 1963, which with many of the key players in Malaysia’s chemical industry. It brought together the newly independent states of Malaya, looks at efforts to add value to Malaysia’s considerable resources, Singapore, as well as Sabah Sand Sarawak on the island of Borneo, find new markets for an export-driven economy and maintain a responsible approach to manufacturing. Authors are Tom Daly, Malaysia has worked hard at restructuring its economy from an agro-based to an Daniel Kaye and Naomi Sutorius-Lavoie. industrialized economy. Under British rule, large-scale tin and rubber production had been developed but by the 1960s, unemployment was high and the Malaysian government set about developing labor-intensive industries, since manufacturing then accounted for only 8% of GDP. The structural change the country’s economy has undergone is reflected in the fact that the manufacturing sector today constitutes around 31% of GDP and unemployment is at 3.9%. Whereas Malaysia relied heavily on commodities for export in the past, today approximately 80% of exports are manufactured products. After a dip in 2005, when GDP growth slowed and inflation rates reached their second highest level in almost seven years, forecasts for 2006 are optimistic and Malaysia remains an excellent place to do business for a number of reasons. There are abundant natural resources, including oil and natural gas -the feedstocks for a well developed petrochemical industry.
