Objects and Reasons.
1. Hitherto under the Pensions Ordinance, 1862, (Ordin- ance No. 2 of 1862) pensions, retired allowances and gratuities have been granted by order of the Secretary of State or in conformity with the provisions contained in minutes of the Government relating thereto.
2. The object of this Ordinance is to substitute therefor provisions contained in a new Ordinance and Regulations based on the recent pension enactments of similar Colonies or States.
3. For this purpose the Pensions Enactment, 1928, of the Federated Malay States has been used as the principal model and the sections of this Ordinance follow its provisions fairly closely, except where they are inapplicable or where local circumstances has made it necessary to interpolate provisions from the Pension Minutes, from special instructional despatches of the Secretary of State or from the enactments of other Colonies such as the Uganda Ordinance, No. 5 of 1927.
