Abstract

This article presents and translates a manuscript record emanating from a Chinese based in Batavia who in 1890 went to Saigon in order to assist a Dutch emissary. It shows that its author, a certain Tan Siu Eng, was the secretary of the Sinologist Willem Pieter Groenevelt who had been sent on a mission to Indochina to investigate the opium regie. The record provides insights into the Baba Chinese community from the Straits in Saigon, as well as in the way its author looked at the French colonial system, which he compares to its British counterpart in Singapore.
