Victor Purcell wrote his from within — as a Malayan Civil Service officer who served as Protector of Chinese, Director of Chinese Education, and Principal Adviser on Chinese Affairs to the British Military Administration.

He was a member of the Malayan Civil Service from 1921 to 1946, serving as Protector of Chinese, Assistant Director of Chinese Education, and Director-General of Information. After the liberation of Malaya from the Japanese, he was appointed Principal Adviser on Chinese Affairs to the British Military Administration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOxford University Press.
