- W2605142507 abstract "In the 1920s and the 1930s British Malaya there were several detective series, or more precisely fictional characters, that became popular among the Malay reading public. They were not Malaya’s original detective stories, but were translated from Western languages and Arabic language. They were written in the Jawi script. Fictional detectives and detective fiction as forms of popular literature were a driving force of imperial penetration into the local population and culture. Detective fiction “served and challenged the interests of Empire” (Reitz 2004: xiii). As easily imagined in the realm of the British Empire, Sherlock Holmes was a well known fictional figure (Thompson 1993). In British Malaya English newspapers, when crimes took place, they were reported using “Sherlock Holmes-style headlines such as ‘The Mystery of the Missing Case’ and the ‘Jailed by Clue of the Cigar Wrapper’” (Jackson 2014: 135). At the same time, the detective fiction is an arena in which issues of law and order is disputed. Some of them have an anarchical taste and such taste attracted local people’s attentions. In the study of Malay nationalism, the significance of detective fiction has not been taken seriously. The exceptional works may be William Roff’s The Origins of Malay Nationalism (1967), which is considered a standard study of Malay nationalism, and Donna J. Amoroso’s Traditionalism and the Ascendancy of the Malay Ruling Class in Malaya (Amoroso 2014). In recent years, however, studies of literature, media, and education have shed a new light on the forgotten popular Malay literature (Abdullah 2012; Ahmed 2007; Emmanuel 2010; Fiah 2011; Merican 2006; Wan Suhana 2006; Warnk 2007; Zaini-Lanjoubert 2001).
