Aktiviti Ekonomi Jepun Di Tanah Melayu Sebelum Perang Dunia Kedua: Satu Perspektif Sejarah
Abstract
Abstract
This article will analyze the historical development of Japanese investment in Malaya between 1910 and 1940, and also to collect all the data of Japanese investment in this period. Attitude and the colonial government policies in limiting or stimulating the types of Japanese investment in Malaya will also be analyzed. In this time frame, Malaya was under British administration. Japanese investment in Malaya was in rubber cultivation industry, fisheries and in bauxite mining, iron ore and other minerals. During the colonial era, although the tin industry was monopolized by the British, but the conflict between Britain and Japan was mainly focused in the rubber industry. Meanwhile, local fishermen in Malaya had been unable to compete with Japanese fishermen in the fisheries sector. British justification for the exploitation of Japan in the iron ore industry in the Non Federated Malay States was to assist the development of these states.
ABSTRAK
Artikel ini akan menganalisis sejarah perkembangan pelaburan Jepun di Tanah Melayu antara tahun 1910 hingga 1940, dan juga mengumpulkan semua data pelaburan Jepun dalam tempoh ini. Sikap dan dasar-dasar kerajaan kolonial dalam menghadkan atau merangsang jenis-jenis pelaburan Jepun di Tanah Melayu juga akan dianalisis. Pada masa ini, Tanah Melayu berada di bawah pentadbiran British. Pelaburan Jepun di Tanah Melayu adalah dalam industri penanaman getah, perikanan, perlombongan bauksit, bijih besi dan lain-lain galian. Semasa era kolonial, sementara industri bijih timah kekal dimonopoli British, konflik antara British dan Jepun tertumpu dalam industri getah. Nelayan tempatan di Tanah Melayu pula tidak dapat bersaing dengan nelayan Jepun dalam sektor perikanan. British membenarkan eksploitasi Jepun dalam industri bijih besi di Negeri-negeri Melayu Tidak Bersekutu demi membantu pembangunan negeri-negeri ini.
