MALAYA UNDER JAPANESE OCCUPATION

Malaya, now Malaysia, was a former British colony - one of the most lucrative for the empire as it had lots of tin and rubber-  but was occupied by the Japanese during world war II and was returned after the war to the British before an armed uprising gained the people independence in 1957.

The note above is from the Japanese occupation period and was issued in 1942. the japanese seem to have used a similar template for most of the places they occupied and only the name of the money was changed, dollars in this case, rupee, rupie of rupiah.
