Author Description

History of Kelantan, 1890-1940 is primarily concerned with the political and administrative development of modern Kelantan under the influence of, first, Siam, and then, Britain. In Malaysian politics, post-independence Kelantan has attracted considerable attention because it does not fall in line with voting trends in other parts of the country. It is, therefore, important that Kelantan's past should be better understood in order to comprehend the current situation. It is hoped that this monograph will also serve as a foundation for more serious inquiry into various other aspects of Kelantan society. -- Professor Dato' Khoo Kay Kim
