This thread bound Hakka-Malay dictionary was printed in Singapore. The name written on the front cover indicated that it was owned by a man named Tao Qifeng.Such publications, available in the main Chinese dialects such as Cantonese, Hokkein, Hakka and Hainanese, show the way the local Chinese community was eager to learn the indigenous language and adapt to local culture.
