in other words, how long did it take for
i) Chinese immigrants to come to Singapore and reside there for several generations
ii) the Chinese in Singapore to dominate the merchant class in the area
iii) become the dominant 'minority' in the area?
Did it begin with the Treasure Fleets? when was there a boom in Chinese immigration to the area?
some things I'd like an answer for, thanks.
