Did you know... that Ambo Sooloh pledged allegiance to the British government on behalf of all Malays in Singapore?

Hi Kingoflettuce, review follows: article created 12 December and exceeds minimum length; sources used look to be reliable and citations are placed inline throughout; sources used are almost entirely offline, I found no issues with paraphrasing from the online ones; two QPQs have been carried out; hook fact is interesting and stated in the article, the source is offline, for completeness would you mind providing an extract to support it? - Dumelow (talk) 12:35, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, no problem: "In 1934, Ambo Sooloh was elected to represent the Malays in handing over to the Governor of the Straits Settlement, Sir Shenton Thomas, a letter stating their loyalty to the country and the British Government. It was a solemn political occasion which, according to the Utusan Melayu, showed that the Singapore Malays was a distinct ethnic group, apart from other Malays in the region."
