Conflicting information about when Sarawak was ceded to the British[edit]

One paragraph says Vyner Brooke ceded it in 1941, and another says a cession bill was passed 17 May 1946. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.163.58.227 (talk) 16:42, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it should probably be erased, no citation and it's not factually correct. It wasn't a secret cession agreement.

Vyner signed a Supplemental Agreement with the British in March 1941, the same month he set aside £200,000 for a pension fund for his family and himself. The Supplemental Agreement allowed the British to insert a British advisor into the Sarawak Government. The exact same type of agreement that every Sultan in Malaya had signed that led to the British taking over. The Chief Secretary Le Gros Clark suggested that the arrival of this British agent should be delayed until after the centenary celebration (Sept 1941).

Then WW2 happened (Dec 1941) and everything changed... MatSallehSesat (talk) 14:40, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
