Context (Amendments / updates)
'The term Sakei was removed from the Place and Production fields as this is a slang term that is considered inappropriate and offensive in Malaysia, and does not refer to an actual place but is instead an outdated term used to refer to a grouping of people. As advised by Alice Rudge a visiting researcher from the British Library [22/10/2018]'.
