Spore Chinese community in 19th century was concerned with increasing number of sinkies with venereal diseases and MANY cases of congenital syphilis

ALL from coolies to merchant to British sailors and soldiers.

And that’s why at one point in 19th century British tried to regulate and prevent the spread of venereal diseases: to protect British sailors and citizens.

If a mother has an STD/STI, it is possible for the fetus or newborn to become infected. Some STDs/STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, and cytomegalovirus can be passed from mother to infant during delivery when the infant passes through an infected birth canal.

What happens when a newborn has an STD
When a newborn child contracts an STD during birth, the infection is often much more severe than in adults. For example, infant gonorrhea and chlamydia can cause eye infections, pneumonia, or infections of the joints or blood. A herpes infection in newborns can be life threatening, causing brain damage, blindness, and damage to other organs.
I suspect some of those children born with damaged brain may be in this forum, their mothers may have had herpes. Hence they do silly things like purchase a property in JB, and then blames the world for their shortcomings, lack of foresight and intelligence.

That's absolutely correct, I agree!
 
How come despite tge vd and std, the chinese in sinkie were still able to propagate?

From the chart, the Spore Chinese population, especially female Chinese population grew ALOT from inflow I.e immigration between 1921 and 1947.

Hahaha so MANY sinkies came to Spore less than one to three decades before my parents did and dare to call me a Malaysian woh. The truth is so ugly.

In fact my mother was already here in 1940s for studies after the war.
