Nanyang: The Lure of the Southern Ocean to Lands of Opportunity & Danger
In this absorbing historical saga, Khoo weaves an engaging tale linking the multi-racial peoples who inhabit Malaysia and Singapore: the Orang Asli (the aborigines), the Malays, the Chinese (migrants and Straits-born Peranakan), the Indians, and the Eurasians, descendants of intermarriages of the natives and Europeans. The narrative covers the period from the early Portuguese colonization of Malacca, followed by Dutch control, and eventually British colonization, leading up to the Japanese invasion.
