These remarks, which referred more particularly to Tamils, are quite as true of Chinese. For instance, a Public Works Department officer last year, Irritated by a Chinese contractor, gave him a rough push which upset him; and as there were witnesses in abundance, the Chinaman had a good case for assault. But he couldn't help lying; he asserted that the P.W.D. man picked up a brick and heaved it at him, breaking a valuable jadestone bangle, and as proof, the brick was produced in court!
