Category : History

Pages : 274
Book Description
This book examines Borneo, both British Borneo – Brunei, Sarawak and North Borneo – and Dutch Borneo in the period 1945-1950. Borneo then was at the crossroads. Following the Japanese Occupation, the likely future status of the various Bornean territories was not at all clear, and the book discusses the various factions and powers, both local and international, who were contending for control in this period. It examines the effects of the Japanese surrender, the impact of the subsequent interregnum and Australian and British military administrations, the reassertion of Dutch control, the struggle for Indonesian independence, and movements for local autonomy, reassertion of ethnic rights, interests and identity. It charts developments throughout this volatile and uncertain period, up to the point at which the newly independent Republic of Indonesia emerged and a more settled period began.

Book Description
Although by about 1950 both British Borneo, including the protected sultanate of Brunei, and Indonesian Borneo seemed settled under their different regimes and well on the way to post-war reconstruction and economic development, the upheavals which affected Southeast and East Asia during the Cold War period also deeply affected Borneo. Besides the impact of the Korean and Vietnam Wars and the Malayan Emergency and communist uprisings in other Southeast Asian states, there was within Borneo the attempted communist takeover of Sarawak from the 1950s, a failed coup d’état in Brunei in 1962, Sukarno’s Konfrontasi (confrontation) with Malaysia, and the horrific purge of Leftists and ethnic Chinese in the late 1960s. This book details these momentous events and assesses their impact on Borneo and its people. It is a sequel to the author’s earlier books The Japanese Occupation of Borneo, 1941-1945 (2011) and Post-War Borneo, 1945-1950: Nationalism, Empire, and State-Building (2013), collectively a trilogy.

Book Description
The discipline of financial management and accounting practices as part of the society’s social structure has evolved rapidly, in line with changing times, environmental pressures, technological developments and the needs of society. From a critical and behavioural perspective, both are neither isolated phenomena nor separated from the overall socioeconomic and political structure of society. In fact, these two disciplines interact with the surrounding conditions, either socioeconomic and political changes of the society or technological changes, in symbiotic and mutually influential forms. An understanding of how financial management disciplines and accounting practices change and evolve is necessary to enable both of their current practices to be understood for their origins and their relevance to the past. This need can only be met through a historical approach by examining past events and evidence, based on clues in the form of archive documents, cross-sectional studies on comparative research, reasoning processes based on theoretical formulas and the like. An explanation of related past phenomena will enable current practices of financial management and accounting practices to be understood and appreciated more. History can explain the origins of current phenomena, especially to the new generation who need to understand their identity and appreciate the contributions of past society. This book offers an explanation of the past regarding financial management practices and accounting practices in North Borneo (now known as the state of Sabah). As a branch of knowledge and practice of society which is more inclined to analyze the current situation and explore the future, through economic models, mathematical formulas and statistical forecasts, historical perspectives on financial management practices and accounting practices represent an outlook that is very rarely explored by researchers of accounting practices, nor is it a popular choice among historical writers. This book, which chose North Borneo during the colonial era (1881 – 1963) as the study background, is very useful as reference material by researchers and students as well as reading material to the public, especially those interested in understanding the development of past financial management practices and accounting practices, and their association to current practices. The coverage of this book is very comprehensive, covering 83 years period and presents reviews of the socioeconomic and political development of North Borneo related to the development of financial management practices and accounting practices.
