Summary (also from the previous page)

On June 7, 1751, in Macassar, a situation arose between Chinese and Malay communities. The Malay captain Intje Abdoel Cadier and his fellow Malays reported to Governor Cornelis G Rosenboom and the council about two issues:

  • When a Chinese Peranakan (person of mixed Chinese-local ancestry) married a Malay woman, or when a Malay Peranakan married a Chinese Peranakan woman, the Chinese captain claimed them all as his own people. He insisted that anyone who married Chinese Peranakans had to serve under him and be considered as born Chinese Peranakans. These people were not required to serve the Dutch East India Company under the Malay captain.
  • When Malays grew tired of serving the Company, they would go to the Chinese captain, who had no rightful authority over them.
