at Serdang must be borne in mind (paragraphs 1 and 2 above); 
and as regards fruit trees I think something must be left to 
private enterprise, advised by Mr. Rurkill's Department and 
the Department of Agriculture. This is not as hopeless as 
it may sound; facts have recently come to my notice which 
shew that private enterprise is at this moment accomplishing 
more than I personally have ever known the Government, with 
its fruit plantations, to have accomplished. I have in mind 
particularly a Chinese in Singapore and a Eurasian near 
Ttduk Anson; ana there are others attempting things and even 
importing fruit trees from India and Java. Such persons 
can be helped, and indeed are being helped, by officers of 
this Department.
