Answer Question 'l and one other question from this section.

Bead the extracts and then answer the questions which follow.

Local Economic Development, 1900-1941

Extract A: Exports of coal, cutch and rubber.

Before the drilling of oil began in about 1930, the leading exports of Brunei were
coal, cutch and rubber.
Coal mining was concentrated in Muara, but by the 1920s it was in decline. Coalwas
traded directly from Muara or through Labuan. The growing of rubber was becoming
widespread in Southeast Asia. The industry was introduced into Brunei and soon
became important. Cutch was made from local products and processed in Brunei.
For a time it was the main export.

Extract B: The oil industry.

Though the coal, cutch and rubber.industries were important, they did not make
Bruneia rich country.

The oilfield at Seria changed the economy in the 1930s. The finances of the
government were improved and more money could be spent on such things as
improving the health of Bruneians.
