Copy of letter No.N.P.122/79, dat c d 29.1.36
from the Director, Special Branch, 3.S.Police,
Singapore, to the A.S.P., Intelligence Bureau,
Home Department, Government of India, New Delhi.
Thank you for the summary of the information
in your possession about Sir Sayid Tsirour hin
Faisal alias T. F.T. Alsaid, forwarded with your
letter No.30/For/35 of 6th January 1936.
As you know, we have seen the whole of Alsaid's
voluminous correspondence, both received and sent
by him. There is nothing to show that he is
engaged on any subversive activity. The tone of
his, and his correspondents' letters, shows him to
be loyal to the British.
He is engaged on buying something from Japan
but what it is and what is the ex^eno of his pur
chases I am not yet in a position to say. From his
correspondence it would not appear to be on any
big scale. I rather fancy it is some small com
mercial venture.
Alsaid is a man of considerable common sens*
and honesty of purpose judging from his correspon
dence and his personal address. Ke is, however,
very fond of night clubs and c.ancmg, a taste
which he indulges with propriety. He takes great
interest in the welfare of his son's Sultanate and
given him and members of his court very sound
advice on occasions.
Alsaid is shortly leaving again for Japan,
chiefly at the request of a Japanese geisha girl
who fell in love with him when he was last in
Japan and has been urging him to return to her.
