Abstract:The Larut Wars for mining resources were among the most severe conflicts in Malaysian Chinese history. They also provide a window into how dialects, consciousness of ancestral land, and secret societies shaped Chinese society in the Malay Peninsula during the mid-nineteenth century. The tin production chain embedded both the society and industry in the kong-moon system, a socioeconomic unit that integrated political power, economic interests, and social concerns. Within the kong-moon system, the Chinese miners, tin ore dealers, smelters, traders, and coolies, became interlocking components. Together, they formed a considerable interest group, and since all of them reaped the benefits of mining, they engaged in a level of inter-cooperation that superseded any existing divisions between various ethnic groups or across different regions. The kong-moon system thus serves as a counterweight to arguments about irreconcilable relationships in Chinese society.

Abstract:Thamboosamy Pillai (1850–1902), a Tamil-origin elite member of Kuala Lumpur's colonial society from the 1870s until 1902, is a long-marginalized figure in Malaysian historiography. Despite his public commemoration in the form of a statue at the Batu Caves in recognition of his role in establishing a temple there, and in the naming of a school after him—Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Thamboosamy Pillai at Sentul—he is hardly mentioned in Malaysian historiography. That Pillai is overlooked in historical scholarship illustrates ongoing shortcomings in attempts to write an inclusive history of Malaysia. It also blurs the picture of how colonialism worked on the ground through elitism, as Pillai represented a critical sociopolitical contact not only for Kuala Lumpur's overall economic and social governance, but also for the continued cooperation between capitalist and colonial elites. This articles makes an attempt to reclaim Pillai as an early pioneer of Kuala Lumpur through analyzing his role in establishing colonial administration and enterprise in Malaya.
摘要：Thamboosamy Pillai（1850–1902）是19世纪70年代至1902年吉隆坡殖民社会的泰米尔裔精英，是马来西亚史学界长期被边缘化的人物。尽管他在巴图洞穴以雕像的形式公开纪念，以表彰他在那里建立寺庙的作用，并以他的名字命名了一所学校——森图的Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Thamboosamy Pillai——但马来西亚史学界几乎没有提到他。皮莱在历史学术中被忽视，这说明了在试图写一部包容性的马来西亚历史时存在的不足。这也模糊了殖民主义如何通过精英主义在当地运作的画面，因为皮莱不仅代表了吉隆坡整体经济和社会治理的关键社会政治联系，也代表了资本主义和殖民主义精英之间的持续合作。本文试图通过分析皮莱在马来亚建立殖民管理和企业的过程中所起的作用，重新确立他作为吉隆坡早期先驱的地位。

Abstract:Ḥaḍramī Arab migration to various Indian Ocean littoral states had been taking place for centuries. Ḥaḍramīs can be found in eastern Africa, South Africa, India and most of the nations that make up the Malay world, with greater concentrations in Indonesia, and sizeable communities in Malaysia and Singapore. The ancestors of the Ḥaḍramī communities in the Malay world originate from the Ḥaḍramaut region in the southern part of Yemen, and among families from the Ḥaḍramaut that have traversed the Indian Ocean over the centuries, many belonged to the various houses of the Bā 'Alawī. One such house is the Āl al-'Aṭṭās, a clan that has produced generations of Sufis, scholars, entrepreneurs, artists and politicians in the various countries of the Indian Ocean. This article discusses the genealogy of the Āl al-'Aṭṭās—their beginnings in the Ḥaḍramaut, their migration, and their accomplishments in various fields in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
