Preparation

Added:  August 2005

The transcriptions were prepared under less than ideal conditions, and under pressure of time.  It cannot therefore be guaranteed to be wholly accurate.  They have been substantially edited in preparation for the MCP.  

The articles include the names of officials and some institutions.  When these names are English or Chinese, they may not be conveyed accurately.  No research has been undertaken to confirm the names of officials and so forth.

 

Particular care must be taken with part 2, the 1936-1940 articles, which is not reliable.   Over 25,000 emendments have been made to the 1936-1940 articles, and many, many more are required.  These articles have often been transcribed without much thought for the sense.

 

The National University of Singapore plans to make images of the original Jawi text available on line, and when these images become available, they will be linked to the MCP.
