I am bored, so I am reading Wikipedia, looking up some information that were conveniently left out in our secondary school history books. I found this:
Remember JWW Birch who was killed in Perak by the local hero Dato Maharajalela? Well, apparently, Dato M was a slave trader who sells orang asli, and when JWW Birch outlawed slavery, he wasn't too happy. So, that was why Dato M killed the white man. I never knew Dato M was a slave trader. Wasn't mentioned in our text books.
Of course, the source of this information is not really very reliable. Maybe our books are right after all.
