| 1927 | Kuala Lumpur Government Leper ColonyThere were 620 patients in the colony, situated on 16 acres of land. About 500 of the patients were Chinese: the rest were Indians and Malays. Most lived in "big airy wards", but some had built their own houses. Medical treatment was compulsory: 545 were receiving oral medication, and around 70 receiving injections. Staff there had recently begun to cultivate chaulmoogra trees, with some success. Source: Jonas A.
