The 1879 Revenue Farm Revolts: Opium, Tin and Chinese Uprising in Perak
In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the 1879 Revenue Farm Revolts in Perak, a violent uprising led by Chinese miners against the British-backed opium and spirit farms. They explore the roles of Kapitan Cina Chung Keng Kwee, British Resident Hugh Low, and the secret societies Hai San and Ghee Hin. The conversation covers the Larut Wars, the Pangkor Treaty of 1874, and how the revenue farm system sparked a rebellion that reshaped British colonial policy in Malaya. The episode examines the economic grip of the opium monopoly, the resistance of the Chinese kongsis, and the aftermath that led to the consolidation of British control in the tin-rich Kinta Valley.
