Sejarah ?

Birch was killed on 2 November 1875 by a local Malay chief, Dato Maharajalela and his assistant Sepuntum by spearing him to death while he was taking his bath, nearby a river, in Pasir Salak, near today's Teluk Intan (Teluk Anson), because of his disrespect to the local custom and tradition, and conflict with local Malay chiefs.

Birch's assassination was ultimately due to the fact that he outlawed slavery in Perak. Dato Maharajalela, whose income depended on capturing and selling the indigenes of Perak or Orang Asli as slaves, was then incensed and plotted with some of the slave-traders to kill Birch by spearing him when he was taking his bath in the river.

In the aftermath of the event, the administration shifted to Taiping. Sultan Abdullah was deposed and sent to exile in Seychelles. Dato Maharajalela and others involved in the incident were hanged. ~wiki


(bolded) = Why are we honoring someone like Dato Maharaja Lela in our history books ?

Seriously , honoring him means supporting slavery .

According to our history books , the Britain's are evil , self-centered , greedy people . But who really changed this country for the better ?
