British Policy and the Chinese in Singapore, 1939 to 1955 examines British policies towards the Chinese prior to self government and eventual independence. Focussing on the public service career of Tan Chin Tuan, this new book analyses the ways in which the colonial authorities tried to maintain law and order during a period of major political transformation. The public service role played by Tan Chin Tuan is covered in detail and demonstrates the critical role he played in the peaceful route to self rule in Singapore.
