Publisher's Note
This book is a study of the economic history of Sabah and Sarawak since the 19th century. These states have a distinctive colonial history, having been governed initially by a private British Chartered Company (since 1881-Sabah) and the "White" Rajahs (since 1841-Sarawak). From 1946 to 1963 they were administered by the British and in 1963 became part of Malaysia. The two states from the start were unable to provide any immediate economic returns. The book examines the various economic strategies devised to make them paying concerns. In addition to reinterpreting economic change over a long period, the book provides for the first time a comparative account of economy and society in Sabah and Sarawak. A second focus is on the tension between these states and the federal government on issues like oil revenue and immigration. It also examines in detail, the political economy of timber, the impact of logging on the environment and the attention these states have received recently in the media form international and local pressure groups.
