At the beginning the British and Japanese invaded our country to grab rubber, tin and
palm oil and prevented Allies from having access to our economic wealth. But
throughout their stay in Malaya both British and Japanese have left a great impact on
our people. For instant in Victoria and her kimono and Victor's Last Wish, there was
portrayal of an Indian Malayan experience of the Japanese occupation. In Victoria and
her kimono, the protagonist Ramanan, an English teacher, staunch practicer of the
English language, do not want to give up love for the language. He was so much into
the British mentality. But his wife Victoria was just the opposite. She was an angel whsaved her husband's life by just pleasing the Japanese soldier with her few learned
Japanese language and the kimono she was wearing. As for Victor's Last wish the
protagonist Victor wanted to be so much like the English man in speaking, dressing and
way of doing things, which leads him to convert to Christianity. The story gives an
insight into crisis suffered by Victor, emulates everything Western. Internal crisis,
feeling incomplete and the search for perfection is portrayed in this story. Here I could
see how the British occupation had changed the mind set of the people who are still
searching for their identity and feels shameful of what they are. Besides the two stories
discussed above Matsumoto is different from other portrayals of Japanese occupation
where details of cruelty are apparent. It shows how the captain Matsumoto trusted the
little boy in lending the horse, the conversation they had and the books they discussed
(Emden) shows that the Japanese are not that cruel as we taught. As to conclude I would
say that colonialism did leave a great impact on Malaya and its people. But being
Malaysian I think we should take the 'sweet' out of what was left and leave the ' bitter'.

Set against the backdrop of Sabah, Sarawak and the Malay Peninsula, these six novellas illustrate man's foibles against the inevitability of circumstane and fate. Richly textured and evocatively written, the stories deal with issues as old as humanity itself-rejection, self-deception, love and lust, desire and ambition. Whether it is a comic-satiric piece that pokes fun at a local inhabitant's obsession with the white man and his world as in Victor's Last Wish, or one that is concerned with the blinding shackles of traditionalism that condemns the female-born child in Fortune from Eight, the stories in this collection are told with fine narrative skill. In late 2003, Victor's Last Wish was selected by the Malaysia Examinations Board for use as English Literature material by sixth formers.
