Following up from his earlier post on Mansor Adabi, who was controversially married to Maria Hertogh, Uncle Dicko has put together a brief history of the entire incident - a great primer in preparation for history class or just casual reading into our past!

Uncle Dicko writes:

For those who are keen on the nitty-gritty details of the Maria Hertogh saga and all the relevant reports, just check them out on the internet. There are countless websites and other links to occupy one for a very long time.

However what I am doing in these posts is providing a recapitulation of the main threads of this enduring story about Mansor Adabi and Maria ( Nadrah) and Che Aminah. Much later, what happened in the aftermath of the wedding, the hearings in November and December 1950, the riots and the ensuing years.

Uncle Dicko has the entire Maria Hertogh Affair laid out in five parts, and you can read them here: Part 1 (featured last month in yesterday.sg), Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5.

*31/3 Update: Uncle Dicko posts the final three parts of the Maria Hertogh posts. Read them here: Part 6, Part 7, Part 8.
