Historically speaking, a protectorate for that matter did come under say British control, but were normal independent states.
Colonies were in fact part of the British state. A colony is a region owned by a country but comes under the rule of another country, where as a protectorate is a nation in itself protected by a country against the invasion of some other country.
A protectorate is characterized by autonomy, whereas a colony comes directly under the rule of some other country. Your email address will not be published.

With this kind of professor teaching at UPSI, no wonder the university is only churning out half-past six teachers who will be teaching our children and grandchildren. Professor Zainal majored in Malay culture, so how come he is head of history? Anonimous Z: I think all of us have been fooled - Malaysia has actually gone from British colonisation to Umnoputra colonisation. It is like jumping from a hot pan into an inferno.
During the British time, it was bad, but it was never this bad like now. Maybe it is the time the rakyat stand up to fight for real independence - from the Umnoputra colonisation. But I guess with Tan Sri and Datuk titles on offer for political loyalty, these parasitic academicians will continue to say whatever pleases their political masters. Anonymously: I am utterly shocked with the statement by celebrated historian Prof Emeritus Khoo Kay Kim that our country was never ruled by the British.
I used to be a distinction student for the subject of history during my school days and today I still pride myself for my knowledge of local history. Now this is mind-boggling. Have I been mis-taught in schools all those years or have our historians gone totally bonkers? The above is a selection of comments posted by Malaysiakini subscribers.
