AIR SERVICE FOR MALAYA.

PENANG-SINGAPORE BATAVIA PROJECT.

A visitor to Singapore on Tues- day last week, arriving by aero- plano from Port Swettenham, the journey taking two and a quarter hours, was Mr. R. C. Kemp, Manag- ing Director of the Air Survey Company, with whom is associated Mr. F. Rayner, both being old air hands, having been flying since

1909.

Mr. Kemp is in Singapore in con- nexion with concrete proposals to start a definite air service in Mala- ya, with, it is hoped, exten- sion to the Dutch Indies assuming that due permission can be obtained from the latter. In that case the service would cover Penang, Singa- pore, Port Swettenham, Belawan Teak Hatstund, Chesterfeld and Batavia.
