A scheme developed by the new sultan…

The Anglo-Chinese College is founded in Malacca on November 11, 1818, by the Reverend Robert Morrison of the London Missionary Society.

Morrison had arrived at China in 1807 to begin his work of evangelization, and had planned to establish a school that will allow Western missionaries to learn Asian cultures and languages.

He also hopes that the school would play a role on introducing the East to the West and vice versa; in other words, to mediate between the two civilizations, and thus to prepare the way for the quiet and peaceful dissemination of Christian thought in China.

With the help of the Reverend William Milne, who had joined Morrison in 1813, the Anglo-Chinese College (later renamed Ying Wa College after moving to Hong Kong) is established in 1818 in Malacca.

Milne is appointed the first Headmaster.

The Penghulu of Naning, Dol Said, is enraged over the British claim to Naning as part of Malacca.

The British demand that Naning pay ten percent of its produce as tribute to Malacca.

Dol Said, of course, refuses, resulting in a British attack upon Naning in 1831.

Dol Said manages to fend off the attack with help from his allies.

The British attack Naning once again with a much larger force near the end of 1832.

This time, Dol Said does not have the help of his allies: his army is defeated and he surrenders.
