258. The total number of emigrants examined during the year was 64,181 of whom 63,778 were free and 403 assisted. The number of rejections was 87.
259. Owing to the continued trade depression in Malaya, the Government of that country restricted the number of Chinese immigrants from Hong Kong and China. This restriction contributed largely to the reduction of total emigrants for the year to 64,181. This figure shows a very marked decrease in numbers of emigrants compared with 105,727 for 1931, 193,209 for 1930, 235,554 for 1929 and 288,745 for 1927.

They work at the Vaccination Centre and on board ships and wherever needed. The number of vaccinations performed by three officers at the centres was 69,312 of which 5,324 were emigrants.
