The Yellow Viper (2)

"Quote in upper right hand corner attributed to Mayor Kalloch: 'If a dead horse lies in the Street, he is carted away and thrown into the water'." Shows dead Chinese in form of horses being carted away and thrown in the Bay" (Bancroft Library, University of California).


"Overpopulation, gambling, opium houses, disease, filth, immorality depicted as Chinatown's vices. Suggests transplantation to south S. F., being drawn by weak mules of Board of Supervisors and Board of Health" (Bancroft Library, University of California).


White workingmen's Party protesting against Chinese immigrant labour


"Chinese depicted as analogous to this duplicitous character: "California, having once relieved the Chinaman, is now compelled to carry him around indefinitely"(Bancroft Library, University of California).


California (Eureka) nursing Chinese labour in the first panel. Second panel showing fully grown Chinese labour refusing to leave.


Colonel Bee (who fought against driving out the Chinese from California) 'fleeing' from opponents to Chinese labour. He was later acknowledged by the Chinese Emperor as the Chinese Consul at San Francisco.

    DATUK YIP KUM FOOK sangat jahat kerana menggunakan polis dan gangster untuk menghalau sami Buddha keluar dari kuil, memaksa semua sami Buddha keluar dari kuil secepat mungkin, dll.

    Kemudian Sami Buddha perlu keluar dari Kuil kerana mereka atau pasukan DATUK YIP KUM FOOK kuat dan garang, beberapa sami perlu ke hotel untuk berehat, dan beberapa penganut membawa sami ke rumah mereka di Kepong Baru

    Kalau ada yang tak percayakan kami, sila hubungi Ah Wah, Selayang...Bob Tan, Ah Chuah, dll.... adalah saksi kejadian pada hari tersebut.

    Segala-galanya tidak akan dilupakan oleh penganut Buddha di Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, dan kami akan menghantar maklumat ini kepada dunia Buddha(Buddhist) dan Dunia Buddha Sangha dan juga berkongsi di internet

    Oleh Yap, Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong
