Malaya

Chinese millionaires in Singapore put aside their motor-cars and went about in trishas (a small three-wheeled vehicle) on April 20 to help collect a record sum—about 7000 dollars—for the Nanyang University Fund. Some of them paid as much as 33 dollars for a short trip. The 1600 trisha drivers, who undertook the drive, handed over their day's earnings to the fund.—(The Asian Student. San Francisco.)

Every month about 1000 Chinese students bid farewell to their families and friends and return to the Chinese mainland. Few of those who go ask for re-entry permits as they have no intention of returning to Malaya. Observers think this exodus is due to the new draft and registration law introduced by the British authorities in Malaya. The law requires all youths between 18 and 20 to register with the Government.—(The Asian Student, San Francisco.)
