Low's contribution of rubber to Malaya

An article I wrote on "Low's contribution of rubber to Malaya", published in the Malayan Naturalist, 1996, Vol 43, No 3, p28-29.

See also a similar article I had published in the Brunei Times, 18 January 2009.

UPDATE -

In 2020 I went to Brazil. I visited Manaus, which is a long way up the Amazon. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was nicknamed "Paris of the Jungle" during the height of the rubber boom. The rubber boom crashed after 30 years when Henry Wickham smuggled rubber seeds out to Queen Victoria and the seeds ultimately ended up in Malaya. Malaya then became the main rubber producing country. The the collapse of the Brazilian rubber industry was around 1914.
