The Straits Times, 26 January 1952, Page 8 SO 25 SHOPS MUST CLOSE DOWN IN BATU ARANG Fewer people, yet the tradesmen stay KUALA LUMPUR, Friday. SELANGOR Government has ordered 25 sundry shops in Batu Arang to close down. The order was made under the Emergency Regulations. Batu Arang is the centre of Malayan Collieries’ coalmining operations. Shop proprietors have been given until Feb. 5 to wind up their businesses, with an option to amalgamate with other shops not affected by the order. They can resettle in other parts of the district of Ulu Selangor on application to the District Officer. Mr. O. P. A. Coates, the District Officer, made the order on the advice of the North Selangor Circle War Executive Committee, The Straits Times was told today the shops were to have been closed on Jan. 18, but, because of the Chinese New Year, the date of closure was extended. The reason The Selangor State Government gave” proper and careful control of shops” as the reason for the order. The decision was taken after the War Committee had considered the fact that, while the population of Batu Arang had decreased by half since the war, there had been little change in the number of shops there The straits times understands that the proprietors of the affected shops have asked the Batu Arang MCA to represent them in an appeal against the order. The shop owners are to meet Mr. Coates.

The Straits Times, 18 November 1952, Page 5 Malayan mines – a profit of $331,000 KUALA LUMPUR.Mon. Malayan Collieries were short of labour for their underground mines at Batu Arang, states the directors’ report for the year ended June 30. Efforts to increase output and cut costs were hampered by this shortage of labour. The company is now trying to obtain and train suitable Malay labour for the work. The amount of coal produced was about 13 per cent less than during the previous year. Output of saleable coal wars 345,376 tons of which 137,130 tons or 40 per cent was from the underground mines, compared with 398,785 tons for the previous year Playing a part Production from underground mines actually increased by 5,000 tons. The profit for the year was $331,287. The directors recommend a 10 per cent dividend, absorbing $240,338, and transfer $100,000 to reserve for increased cost of fixed assets replacement. After deducting transfer to underground mining reserve $80,000, income tax $67,513, and other allocations, a balance of $290,452 is recommended to be carried forward to next year's account. The 34th general meeting of shareholders will be held on Nov. 28 at noon at the company’s office in the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank building, Kuala Lumpur.

The Straits Times, 20 November 1952, Page 12 Malayans don't like to work in underground mines MALAYANS do not like working in underground mines it is revealed in the annual report of Malayan Collieries Ltd., just published. The total number of employees remained much the same, adds the report, but there were rather fewer workers underground at the end than at the beginning of the year. "This matter of underground labour is of the utmost importance and continual efforts were made to recruit local men and important miners, or men who could be trained as miners into the country. "Little success was achieved and, despite a slight easing of the general labour position due to decreased prosperity of the rubber industry, it is not at present possible to anticipate the substantial improvement which is required." The output from the underground workings again increased, but not sufficiently to offset of the decrease in the tonnage obtained from the opencast operations due to the limiting effect of the greater thickness of over-burden handled for every ton of coal exposed, says the report. The production of saleable coal was 345,376 tons of which 137,800 tons or 40 per cent. was from the underground mines, as compared with a total of 398,785 tons for the previous year. This was a 13 per cent. drop in production. •

MALAYAN TEA POPULAR IN U.K. (Fragment-no original source) It may capture world market from Ceylon TOP GRADE Malayan Highlands tea is challenging Ceylon tea for world supremacy as the connoisseur’s favourite. Mr. M. H. Carr, a director of Boh Plantations Ltd., said this in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. The company is the biggest producer of highlands tea in Malaya. Their plantations at the Cameron Highlands yield over 800,000 lb. a year. “Our tea has become very well known and sought after in Britain.” Mr. Carr said. “It brought the highest average price of all teas at a recent London auction, Ceylon tea included. But we regard Malaya as our natural market and sell up to 85 per cent of our tea locally. “We are not immediately concerned with looking for a bigger overseas market.” Home-Grown People in the Federation last year drank about 6.200,000 lb. of tea, slightly less than in the record year of 1951. More than 2,000,000 lb. of the rest was home-grown. The rest came from Ceylon, China, Java and Sumatra. Coffee-shops generally used…..Sumatran varieties…. Straits Times 11 June 1961, page 15
