4 AISS G3 EOY History / 2023 Source B: Adapted from a study of the British colonial rule in Singapore , conducted by researchers from America. The colonial government established the Chinese Protectorate in 1877 to deal with the serious abuses of the labo ur trade. Their leader, William Pickering, was the first British official in Singapore who could speak and read Chinese. Pickering was given power to board incoming ships and did much to protect the newly arrived immigrants. In the early 1880s, he also extended his protection to Chinese women entering the colony by working to end forced prostitution. His approach helped to reduce some of the powers of the secret societies. In 1889, Governor Sir Cecil Clementi -Smith introduced a law to ban secret societies, which took effect the following year. This helped to reduce the problems caused by the secret societies. 1 (b) Study Source B. What can you learn from this source about the British colonial rule?

5 AISS G3 EOY History / 2023 Source C: A description of Singapore’s healthcare system in the 1800s. British government officials and the European community were luckier as they were treated in their homes by surgeons sent from the General Hospital. If they were very ill, they were treated in the homes of the surgeons using western medicine . At the time, diseases such as cholera, smallpox and typhoid were common but treatment was very basic. Hospitals were often run down, had few beds and suffered from constant shortage of trained staff. Only those who had no other choice went to the hospitals. Source D: A description of the outbreak of cholera in Singapore in the 1800s. Cholera is a disease transmitted through food and water. The earliest outbreak of cholera in Singapore was reported in 1841, which was caused by poor water supply and sewage disposal. However, many locals believed that cholera was caused by a spirit. In order to chase the spirit away, noisy processions were held at midnight with loud prayers, beating of drums, and setting of firecrackers. Some locals also refused to seek medical treatment offered by the colonial government as they were not sure if the treatment would really help them. The families of sufferers also hid the sick instead of encouraging them to seek proper treatment as they refused to go to the hospital. 1 (c) Study Sources C and D. How similar are these sources?
