Smuggllng.-If you increase control here· smuggling from China mU5t<br />
follow (4279).<br />
Rationing, :Registration ud Licenalng.-Apart from difficulty of working<br />
any system will entail great hardship on the coaly classes (4282).<br />
PAGES 265-267.<br />
SHUM CHOOK SAM, China-born Cantonese, age 51, miner and<br />
rubber planter in Perak, employs 400 coolies, has been 35 years in Malaya.<br />
does not smoke himself.<br />
Effects 01 Opium-SmokiDg.-It is a ruinous habit (4332). If you have the<br />
money you increase the dose (4337). (4345). Smokers are late risers (436!!).<br />
Smoking adversely affects the health (4369). Smokers are not so ·strong<br />
(4371).<br />
Prevalence.-My coolies are mostly Hakkas and Kwangsi (4327). under<br />
10 per cent smoke (4329). Smokers are more common among piece-work<br />
and co-operative system men (4317).<br />
Dross.-The swallowing of dross is worst (4348). They adulterate it<br />
with tea (4349).<br />
Rationing, Registration and Licensing.-I favour registration (4353). I<br />
admit it will be difficult to insist on personal purchase in case of coolies (4354).<br />
PAGES 268--269.<br />
TAN BOON CHENG, Member of Chinese Advisory Board, used to<br />
smoke opium, but has given up the habit.<br />
Increase of Control.-I favour control if reasonably worked (4386). The<br />
strength can slowly be reduced (4395), (4399).<br />
Rationing, Registration ud Licensing.-I object because it will lead to<br />
labour shortage (4387). Such measures make it difficult for coolies (4405-<br />
1\408).<br />
. Smuggling.-I know some smuggling goes on (4401 - 4402).<br />
PAGES 270-271.<br />
KHONG SU KEE, China-born Hokchiu, rubber planter, age '44, has<br />
been 22 years in Malaya.<br />
Effects of Opium-SmokiDg.-When the smoker stops he gets sick .(4417).<br />
If he runs short of money he is apt to steal (4420).<br />
Prevalence.-Among Hokkien coolies about 80 per cent smoke (4427)·<br />
Opium-smokers are many from the provinces in China, which grow the poppy<br />
(4448). There are many Hokchiu smokers, not so many Cantonese, Kheh<br />
and Tiechiu (4443 - 4447).<br />
Rationing. :Registra.tion and Licensing.-It is a bad idea and hard on the<br />
coolies (4423 - 4425).<br />
General.-I think Government should open institutions for cure (4428).<br />
I advocate educational measures against the opium habit (4435).<br />
I think we should give China the lead (4450).
