What is the value of an indochina 100 franc note?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In modern times, Indochina refers to the peninsula between China and India, containing the countries; Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Historically, it refers to the countries that formerly comprised the European colony called French-Indochina which included the modern countries of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Despite the French connection, none of these countries ever used the Franc as it's currency. They all used Piastre until 1954, when the colony was devolved and each country issued their own currencies (Riels, Kip and Dong, respectively).

Any valuation of note would be dependant on the date and the condition of the note. If you are unable to identify the country of origin, state the name of the bank and a detailed description of the note.

Who brought Christianity and Islam to southeast Asia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There were many Marco Polo going to China, The Portuguese sailing to the Philippines around the same era, The Crusades and the many multicultural traders and mercenaries travelling along the Silk Road Route brought along with them both Islam and Christianity, which eventually found its way to Southeast Asia. Many sailors, mercenaries, religious savants, slaves, and traders of both religions travelled and worked side by side. No doubt, as in any war, The Crusades probably also had many warriors who changed loyalties, committed war crimes, or became pacifists and took off on their own along the Silk Road to distant lands unknown.

The Silk Road's major artery was between The East Coast of China and Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey) with a smaller offshoot reaching as far as Italy. However other minor arteries went to Arabia, India, Korea, and Southeast Asia.

What disadvantages are there to Singapore merging with Malaysia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pros

First there is politcal benefits. Singapore wants to be independent. 1963 federation of malaysia constitution, through merger in 1963 with an independent malaya, singapore achieved full independence from British. Before the merger, British is unwilling to grant singapore independence giving the excuse that singapore is not strong enough and have limited resources to be independet. For malaya, merger was a way to check rising threat of communism in Singapore which might result to a threaten to the safety of malaya. Malaya is very successful in handling communist problems, one example is The Emergency.

Secondly, there is economic benefits. Singapore has limited resources and by merging with malaysia, malaysia acts as a hinterland for singapore and provides singapore with the resource. Furthremore, singapore has a small market and by merging with malaysia, it increases size of market and hence benefit singapore economically. Malysia on the other hand also wants to be benfited by singapore since singapore has more than 2500 firmst and a population of 1.7millon and is the most important port in south east asia.

Cons

However, because of the merger, federak government's fear of PAP's domination in malaysia politics. The failure of Alliance leader in KL to enable the Malays in Singapore to gain more seats in the Singapore Legislative Assmebly during the 1963 elections caused the alliance leader to feel very bitter about the defeat. Tunku even came to singapore and expressed his disappointment,this resulted to tension and bitter relationship. Furthremore, singapore promised not to participate in federal elections but did not keep its promise. Lee Kuan Yew and others participated in the federal election, although they only won a few seats but malays felt threatened by Singapore. Moreover, malaysia keep emphasizing on Malay being a superior race but Singapore felt that everyone is equal. Hence, the fear of Chinese domination in Malysian politics was a dominant threat felt amongst malay leaders. There are many riots for example the Geylang gaswork riot on Prophet Muhamad's birthday which resulted in injuries and the damage of properties.

Singapore did not benefit as much in the common market because the Central government was not convinced to promote new industries in Singapore. When foreign industries want to set up industries in Singapore, the centre government always delay and disagree. Singapore also recieved very few certificats of pioneer status. Singapore leaders felt very frustrated to threatened to boycott british goods. Resulted to upsetting relationship. Tax charges to protect malaysian industry is very frustrating. Singapore's light bulb industries suffered because of the imposition of duty on imports of light bulbs just when light bulb factories are going to be set up and 50000 people are unable to get their jobs because of this.
