Download or read book Early History of Penang Penerbit USM written by Editor Muhammad Haji Salleh and published by Penerbit USM. This book was released on with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History states and defines rights. A history that is one-sided, that tends to be on the side of the colonizers and disregards the actual truths is an erred discourse, which nullities the rights, self-identity and pride of a nation This book aims to correct the lopsidedness and neglect. Penang and Seberang Perai have kept ancient proofs of population long before the arrival of Francis Light. For the sake of uncovering a history that reaches further in the past and unearths more truths, this book presents three scholars and well-known experts who reveal these early proofs. They are Dr Mokhtar Saidin, an archaeologist, Dr Mahani Musa, a historian and Dr Noriah Mohamed., a linguist. Their researches begin from the early proofs and lead us to the earlier decade of the arrival of East India Company.

Book excerpt: For centuries Penang was part of the Muslim state of Kedah, but after the intervention in 1786 of a `forgotten' English trader, Captain Francis Light, it became a British mercantile and shipping outpost, administered as part of British India and renamed Prince of Wales Island. From this first toehold in the Strait of Malacca, British power and influence eventually spread to the entire Malayan Peninsula, as well as to Singapore and parts of Borneo. Old Penang tells how Francis Light, using economic inventiveness, attracted peoples from all over the region so that the first settlement in the Strait quickly became a place where `so many people are assembled together and so great a variety of langauges are spoken in so small a space'. This cosmopolitan flavour, combined with natural scenic beauty, made Penang a favourite port of call fpr travellers on the long voyage from Europe to the Fare East. Using broad brush strokes as well as punctilious details, the author has painteda historical portrait of old Penang: its communities, its growing pains, its principal personalities, and its chief attractions. Beginning with James Wathen in 1811, there is also a gallery of travelling artists whose works have been included among the paintings and drawings that illustrate the text.
