§ 32. Captain Gammansasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has any information as to the extent to which the Japanese have introduced the Japanese language as a compulsory school subject in Malaya; and with what results.
§ The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Colonel Oliver Stanley)I regret that the only information I have came from Japanese sources upon which of course we can place no reliance. These reports speak of the encouragement of the Japanese language, the setting up of Japanese Language centres, the graduation of students in Japanese and the formation of study groups. I have no knowledge of the results.
