New Markets
As China tightened her borders, Britain pinned her hopes on her other Asian colonies. Opium production in the Straits Settlements (Singapore, Penang, Malacca, Labuan) rose from 353,938 pounds in 1916 to 370,688 pounds in 1920, in spite of Britain’s promise at the Hague Convention to limit opium sales. In 1918, 60% of Britain’s Asian income was derived from opium sales. In 1925, opium accounted for 48% of Singapore’s revenue, and 100% of North Borneo’s. At the 1923 Opium Conference, Mr. Campbell admitted that the British Indian government was determined to maintain high levels of both internal consumption and export, and that they,

“controlled the production, distribution, sale, possession – every possible practical question which could arise in connection with opium—in the strictest possible manner—They had built up a complicated and highly efficient administrative system which started from the time the poppy seed was put into the ground, and did not relinquish control of the drug until it was in the hands of the consumers, or till it was actually exported.”

From the above site it gave us an idea why the Brit wanted to colonize Singapore and Malaya which give them control of the ports and sea lanes to control their drug opium trades in this region.

It will be interesting to dig further into this Singapore was built funded from drug money. This drug trafficker was the Brit, the government, and the users were the Chinese, Javanese, Malays and SE Asians native, internal consumptions and exports?


So modern Brit colony of Singapore was funded NOT by the sweat hard works of the British people in England but self funded from the monopolized opium trades Brit. SIngaopre was NOT a fishing village but from 1925 become Brit port to export opium in this region.


LKY the self proclaimed founding Father of Singapore and the drug money
Long before this self proclaimed father of Singapore LKY, the Brit monopolized drug trades in Singapore, and SEA was their new market, so what has this LKY to say drug money were used to build modern Brit colony Singapore before the independence of Singapore?

1925 to 1959 saw 2 world wars and where did the Brit find money to fund these wars? Drug money open opium trades in SEA and Singapore was their base port to fund their wars?

Raffles Place, Orchard Road, Bt Timah Brit style and types colonial buildings and bungalows were built from drug money? How the drug Lord Brit live their quality life styles at the expense of opium addicts in Singapore and Malaya.

No Dogs and Chinese Allowed
Now we know why no dogs and Chinese were allowed in their clubs and pub. How can drug addict Chinese and drug lords Angmohs drink angmoh beers at the same place? Consumers and sellers don't mixed in drug trades?

No intermarry of Chinese and angmohs allowed, from the order of their Kings. Drug Lord to marry opium addict Chinese chiobu daughters don't make business sense?

Interesting to dig further how the Brit find funds and money to build Singapore and their 1/3 of the world they that colonized?

PAP still wants this MM mentor King to be founding father of Singapore?
