| description | This article reviews the role of educational institutions in the development of printing press
industry in Malaya from the mid of the nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries. The main
focus of the paper is to investigate the effects of educational institutions on the emergence of
printing press companies. The paper suggests that, although the printing press was already
present in Malaya in the early nineteenth century, there were no companies yet being interested
to produce local newspapers and periodicals until the arrival of the London Missionary Society
as well as other European educational and missionary activities at Malaya. Their arrival, as the
paper suggests, coincided with the increased role of education, which is evident in the rapid
growth of educational institutions. The major finding of the paper is that the establishment of the
printing press in Malaya was influenced by both, the growth in educational institutions and the
European intervention, even though the former should be considered as the main factor. |
