Research on the History of the Fujian Community in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Place of Origin, Organization and Identity

About This Novel

Since the British colonial period, the Fujian people have constituted the majority of the Chinese dialect community in the Straits Settlements of the Malay Peninsula, exerting a relatively large influence on the Malayan region since the 19th century. However, in the Kuala Lumpur region, which belongs to the Malay Federation, Fujianese do not account for the majority in most areas. However, in big cities such as Kuala Lumpur, the Fujian community often has a relatively large say in Chinese society because they are good at doing business. This book takes the Fujian community in Kuala Lumpur, which has the third largest population, and its community organization, the Selangor Fujian Association, as the research object. Through meeting minutes, Yishan receipts and other contents, it shows the existence of dialect communities in the big cities in Malaya before the independence of Malaya in 1957. It has important academic significance in promoting the study of Chinese in Malaysia today.
