                 With special thanks to Pwee Keng Ho from Singapore, who is my counsellor for issues in this region.

Map of Malaysia.Still today the British influence/protection, from ±1786 until the official independancy declared on August 31, 1957, is noticeable in Malaysia. In these years the Waddingtons' editions  have been introduced in this country, since about 1982/85 followed by the Parker Brothers/Hasbro design.

Next to a number of smaller native manufacturers of very simple and cheap Monopoly-like editions SPM, established 1976, is making very nice purely Malay games, with a glance to the English and American designs.

                              

Up till 2000 the spaces on the Parker/Waddingtons/Hasbro game boards are from 6 Malay cities of which a.o. 14 properties of Kuala Lumpur. 
They are from Go onwards:

Gurney Drive (Penang) - Community Chest (Kebajikan Masyarakat) Jalan Chow Kit (Kuala Lumpur) - Income Tax - Butterworth Station/Stesyen Butterworth - Jalan Hang Jebat (Melaka) - Chance (Cuba Nasib) - Jalan Petaling (Kuala Lumpur) - Jalan Imbi (Kuala Lumpur) - IN pudu jail - Jalan Wong Ah Fook (Johore Bahru) - Tenaga Nasional Berhad (National Energy Comp.) - Jalan Masjid India (Kuala Lumpur) - Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (Kuala Lumpur) - Ipoh Station/Stesyen Ipoh - Jalan Duta (Kuala Lumpur) - Community Chest Jalan Tebrau (Johore Bahru) - Campbell Street (Penang) - Free Parking - Jalan Tun Razak (Kuala Lumpur) - Chance (Cuba Nasib) - Jalan Riong (Kuala Lumpur) - Dataran Merdeka (Kuala Lumpur) - Johore Bahru Station/Stesyen Johore Bahru - Penang Road (Penang) - Jalan Sultan Iskandar (Ipoh) - Telekom Malaysia (in 1992)/Jabatan Bekalan Air (Water Supply Comp.)(in 1995) Central Market (Kuala Lumpur) - Go to pudu jail - Subang Jaya (Petaling Jaya) - Bangsar (Kuala Lumpur) - Community Chest (Kebajikan Masyarakat) - Ampang (Kuala Lumpur) - Kuala Lumpur Station/Stesyen Kuala Lumpur - Chance (Cuba Nasib) - Jalan Bukit Bintang (Kuala Lumpur) - VIP TAX and Jalan Sultan  Ismail (Kuala Lumpur).

Parker Brothers is used to keep the names of the properties unchanged, so it is very remarkable to see they did change them for their Malayan editions:

From 2000 onwards the spaces on the Parker/Hasbro game boards are from 7 Malay cities of which a.o. only 12 properties of Kuala Lumpur and all 3 beige streets of Petaling Jaya. 
They from Go onwards:
 
Gurney Drive
(Penang) - Community Chest (Kebajikan Masyarakat) - Petaling Street (Kuala Lumpur) - Income Tax  - Kuala Lumpur Railway Station - Jalan Wong Ah Fook (Johor Bahru) - Chance (Cuba Nasib) - Jalan Hang Jebat (Malacca) - Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (Kuala Lumpur) - In jail/Sg.Buloh - Batu Ferringhi (Penang) -Tenaga Nasional Berhad (National Energy Comp.) - Langkawi (Kedah) - Port Dickson (Negeri Sembilan) - Sentral LRT Station - Bandar Sunway (Petaling Jaya) - Community Chest (Kebajikan Masyarakat) - Subang Jaya (Petaling Jaya) - Bandar Utama (Petaling Jaya) - Free Parking - Bangsar (Kuala Lumpur) - Chance (Cuba Nasib) - Ampang (Kuala Lumpur) - Bintang Precinct (Kuala Lumpur) - West Port (Selangor) - Penang Road (Penang) - Dataran Merdeka (Kuala Lumpur) - Jabatan Bekalan Air (Water Supply Comp.) - Central Market (Kuala Lumpur) - Go to jail/Sg.Buloh - Jalan Sultan Ismail (Kuala Lumpur) - Jalan Raja Chulan (Kuala Lumpur) - Community Chest (Kebajikan Masyarakat) - Jalan P.Ramlee (Kuala Lumpur) - International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) - Chance (Cuba Nasib) - Putrajaya (Kuala Lumpur) - VIP Tax and Cyberjaya (Kuala Lumpur).

 

$AIDINA games:

Puchong - Selangor based SPM Syarikat Permainan (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. was established on 26th June 1976 by Perak born inventor Ting Sie Bing.
First introduced in 1978, Saidina is a way of having fun while you aim towards being the richest person. It is a game that helps to develop one's business skills. It is a famous game in Malaysia and played in many homes.

Mr. Ting Sie Bing is Malaysia's Master of the Game. His fortune is founded in developing local versions of established games.
Monopoly, where players wheel and deal using British pounds, invest in fashionable Mayfair, buy into Piccadilly and the British Electricity Board and commute via the tube at Marylbone and Fenchurch, is, he figures, "a leftover from the colonial era."
So he has introduced the Malay equivalent and called it Saidina. The objective of the game is still "to develop your business power", but deals are made in Malaysian ringgit, prime property is in Kuala Lumpur's Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Penang's Penang Road and oil palm, rubber and pineapple plantations are going for $1,400 a piece.

SPM is one of the largest Toys manufacturing companies in Malaysia. It is a wholly Malaysian owned company. The raw materials used in the manufacturing of the products are 100% Malaysian made. This provides employment opportunities for Malaysians as well as facilitating the Malaysian economy rise to greater heights.
Throughout its existence and from its incorporation, SPM has received tremendous local support for its products and firmly believes in giving back to society at large. As such, in the past years SPM contributes a substantial amount to local charities and fund raising events. It has also supported many academic institutions like, local schools, colleges and universities, and many government ministry and institutions.

From the start of the company until 2007 seven Saidina editions have been published, viz.: 
SPM 21: Saidina - Standard
SPM 78 : Saidina - Traveller
SPM 92 : Saidina - Kuala Lumpur
SPM 93 : Saidina - Pulau Pinang
SPM 94 : Saidina - Hill & Beach
SPM 103 : Saidina - Chinese
SPM 147 : Saidina - Chinese Traveller

Features of the Saidina designed games are: 

The Mula/Start corner shows 2 black/white blocked start/finish flags.
The Jail corner shows an 8-bars gate and no scoundrel.
The Free parking corner became a No Parking where a fine of $400 has to be paid!
The Go to Jail corner does not show a policeman - a very simple black arrow seems to be sufficient.
There is only 1 stack of 24 cards (60x44 mm) called Keputusan/Decission. However, most of the instructions are the same as of the Parker/Waddingtons games. The stack is situated next to Mulat/Start and the cards are marked by a pink question mark.
All 40 spaces of the board are numbered in a line alongside the centre field of the board.
The groups of properties of each side have the same color, in dark and somewhat lighter.
The Jabatan Bekalan Air/Water Supply space is always on place #3 and the color bar shows blue waves in a white field.
The Tenaga Nasional Berhad/Electricity space is always on place #37 and the color bar shows 3 purple flashes of lightning.
The 4 "station spaces" in the middle of each side, are resp. rubber plantation - coconut plantation - oil palm plantation and pineapple plantation. 
All streets have one empty circle on the bottom part of the space, but for what reason?
The small (60x44 mm) property deeds have the well known red Waddingtons cards' back.
There are 6 different banknotes printed in color on white paper, the denominations of which resp. are RM10 - 50 - 100 - 500 - 1,000 and 5,000, where RM (or the $-sign) stands for Malayan ringgit.
The 6 tokens are small plastic squares with the characters A up to and including F
The are 32 red houses with little stilt legs and pointed roofs, which are characteristic of  traditional native Malayan houses. There are but 10 blue hotels, high buildings with an impressive staircase for an entry. Most probably a copy of one of the many high buildings of Kuala Lumpur?
The small dice (sides of 11 mm) are the Chinese type, so with red pips for the 1 and 4.

Dimensions of the box: 19.2 x 36.7 x 3.4 cm
The game:
This is the first edition issued by SPM.

Since this is the standard edition it is very likely the properties to be the very same as those of the "Traveller's set", see under.

 

 

Saidina SPM78.Edition: $aidina - Traveller's set, code no: SPM 78
              "A Game that develops your Business Power"

Dimensions of the box: 19.2 x 36.7 x 3.4 cm
      of the game board: 35.2 x 35.5 ccm
The game:
This "traveller's" edition is most probably only a smaller version of the standard one of code no.SPM 21, because their design looks the same.
The game is bilingual: Malayan and English.

The streets in this game are from 22 different cities

From Mula/Start onwards the 22 cities with their streets are:

Kangar (Jalan Kangar) - Batu Pahat (Jalan Rahmat) - Jabatan bekalan air (Water Supply) - Ladang getah (Rubber plantation) - Sibu (Jalan Central) - Butterworth (Jalan Bagan Luar) - Taiping (Jalan Kota) - Dalam Penjara (In jail)/Cuma Melawat (Just visiting) - Sandakan (Jalan Dua) - Teluk Intan (Jalan AH Cheong) - Shah Alam - Ladang kelapa (Coconut plantation) - Kelang (Jalan Kapar) - Kuala Terengganu (Jalan Paya Bunga) - Kota Kinabalu (Jalan Gaya) - Denda (Fine) - Kuching (Jalan Padungan) - Seremban (Jalan Birch) - Alor Setar (Jalan Langgar) - Ladang kelapa sawit (Oil palm plantation) - Kuantan (Jalan Besar) - Kota Baru (Jalan Temenggong) - Petaling Jaya (Seksyen 52) - Ke penjara (To jail) - Melaka (Jalan Hang Tuah) - Johor Baru (Jalan Wong AH Fook) - Ipoh (Jalan Sultan Iskandah Shah) - Ladang nenas (Pineapple plantation) - Tenaga Nasional berhad (Electricity) - Pulau Pinang (Jalan Penang) and Kuala Lumpur (Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman).

The innerbox has a white plastic tray  with 5 holes for the attributes.
The bottom of the box is unprinted.

 

Travel edition, ref.4027.Edition: Travel Monopoly - Malaysia Edition, ref. #4027
Publisher: Parker Brothers/Tonka Corp./Waddingtons - 1992
Dimensions of the box: 22.8 x 23.0 cm
The game:
Although the lid refers to an English and Malay Rules it doesn't mean the whole game is bilingual, it isn't.
Besides it shows the trade mark square in the lower left corner, with 2 engines, Uncle Pennybags and the $-sign.

The double folded game board, made of thin strong cardboard, has a light green play side and a red back. It shows the word Monopoly in open characters parallel to the first side. The prices of the properties are low, viz. starting with $60 for Gurney Drive and ending with $400 for the most expensive street. You collect $200 over Go.

The design is typical for Waddington, viz.:

green locomotives facing backwards.

no treasure chest on the Community Chest spaces, only a small v in a black dot.

no gold ring in the VIP Tax space, only a tiny square.

the names of the streets are mentioned twice on the property spaces of the board. This is to be better read from all sides. 
Note that only on the station spaces this opportunity is used for the 2 languages.

The mortgage side of the property deeds is red, as are the Community Chest cards. The Chance cards have a blue back. Their sizes are 56x76 mm. It is remarkable to see the text on these cards to be exclusively in English. The rent of the unbuilt Central Market (= most expensive yellow street) is the same as of both other streets, only £22.-. This mistake dates from the very original American editions and was applied all over the world, until about 2000.
The soft plastic insert of the innerbox is white and contains 6 trays for the attributes.
The money consists of 7 banknotes, printed in color on white paper, the white circle in the centre of the note showing "Monopoly - Registered Trade Mark - © 1935 Parker Brothers". The denominations are: 1 - 5 - 10 - 20 -50 - 100 and 500.
The 6 tokens, made of black plastic, are: boat - dog - hat - shoe - iron and car. 
The 32 houses and 12 hotels are hollow and made of plastic. They have overhanging roofs and excentric chimneys. 
Both dice (sides of 15 mm) are white with black pips.

On the board's midfield it says "Printed in Great Britain" and the Rules were made in Singapore, while on the rim of the lid it says "Made and printed for Waddingtons International Ltd.".

This set was bought in Penang in February 1996 at the price of RM 49.90  (€ 9.30)

Parker editie ref.nr.06951-ML.Edition: Standard - Malaysia Edition, ref. 06951-ML      
Publisher: Parker/Hasbro Int./Hasbro Toy (Malaysia) - 1995
Dimensions of the box: 26.1 x 50.8 x 4.0 cm 
The game:
Only 3 years after the previous issue the "official property trading board game" got a real new look.
Although still in a long box with an overprint "Malaysia edition" in the lower right corner of the lid, it clearly is according the Parker Brothers design, because:

the engines on the station spaces are black, although not the composed  ones from Parker. Presumably an inland engine.

blue treasure chest on the Community Chest spaces.

gold ring with diamond on the VIP tax space.

the names of the streets on the board's spaces are only mentioned once.

the red Monopoly bar with Uncle Pennybags is on the lid as well as  sloping on the centre field of the game board.

The solid game board has a red back. Those streets of the game having as well a Malayan as well as an English name have both names written on the spaces. The prices of the properties are meanwhile multiplied by 10, viz. starting with RM600 for Gurney Drive and ending with RM4,000 for the most expensive street. You collect RM2,000 over Go now.
The mortgage side of the property deeds is white, but red printed. The white Community Chest cards have the treasure chest printed in blue on the back. The white Chance cards have a question mark printed in red on the  back. Their sizes are 55x84 mm. The rent of the unbuilt Central Market (= most expensive yellow street) is still the same as of both other streets, only RM 220.
The thin but solid plastic insert of the innerbox is red and contains 12 holes for the attributes. Its bottom shows a black/white picture of the board and its attributes.
The money consists of 7 banknotes, printed in black on colored paper, the white circle in the centre of the note showing "Monopoly ® - Registered Trade Mark - © 1995 Hasbro International Inc. All rights reserved.". The denominations are: 10 - 50 - 100 - 200 -500 - 1000 and 5000.
The 10 metal tokens ("Made in China") are: ship - car - wheel-barrow - hat - thimble - canon - shoe - iron - dog and rider-on-rearing-horse. 
The 32 houses and 12 hotels are hollow and made of plastic. The roofs have tiles and a central chimney, while the hotels also have roofedges. 
Both dice (sides of 15 mm) are red with white pips.

This edition was "Made in New Zealand".

It was bought in august 1997 at the price of RM 69,90 (€ 13,-)

 

 

Saidina SPM103, CHinese version.Edition: $aidina - Chinese edition, code no: SPM103 
               "A Game that develops your Business Power"
Publisher: SPM - Puchong - Malaysia -1995
Dimensions of the box: 19.0 x 36.6 cm
The game:
This edition is almost identical to the "Travel edition" with code 
no. SPM 78. 
Except for the fact it is in Chinese and English and it has the same box sizes it has a few minor differences like:

The game board is thinner and folded with its play-side outwards.
The board's back is grey.
The Chinese Rules are printed on a mahagony colored paper.
Two cities are spelled slightly different: 
Klang in stead of Kelang and 
Johor Bahru
in stead of Johor Baru

This set was bought in Kuala Lumpur January 1999 at the price of RM 14.95  (€ 2.80).

 

 

Saidina  Chinese Traveller edition, SPM 147.Edition: $aidina - Chinese traveller edition, c. no: SPM 147
Publisher: SPM - Puchong - Malaysia - 2000
Dimensions of the box: 19.0 x 36.6 cm or smaller?
The game:
I have no idea what the difference can be between this "traveller edition" and the set with code no. SPM103, since that one is already in the traveller sizes and all properties are the same.

 

 

 

Parker standard edition - 2000.Edition: Standard - with "Wau" token, Ref.Nr. 00009/603
Publisher: Parker Bros./Hasbro Toy (Malaysia) - 2000
Dimensions of the box: 40.2 x 26.9 x 5.2 cm
The game:
This set is owned by Steve Amato - N.Y.C.

Wau is Malaysian for kite-flying, a traditional competition with colorful, artistically-constructed kites made of rice paper and bamboo. The tradition of Wau, originally from Kelantan, including the construction and festive flight demonstration, usually between the months of March and October, dates back thousands of years and is handed down in families from generation to generation.

It is very striking that Parker/Hasbro has not only changed most of the spaces, because they used to cling to originally choosen properties, but also did not 
introduce their composed locomotive for the "station" spaces.

1996 Hasbro introduced new sizes for all their Standard games. 
Since the year 2000 Rich Uncle Pennybags is re-named into Mr. Monopoly wearing a red bow tie, unfortunately not yet in this edition.
Typical for this standard issue is its presentation similar to the European editions with ref.nr. 14535. The lid shows the fourth side of the game board, with Go, under the red Monopoly bar with Mr.Monopoly. Notice the white dice show 3 and 6. However, the color picture on the bottom of the box shows the game board with all attributes instead of that of a laughing family around a Monopoly board, as it is with the ref.14535 editions.

Unfortunately the newly designed white plastic banker's tray with 10 holes for the banknotes and title deeds has no prepared space for the double folded square board like in the corresponding European boxes with ref.nr.14535. That is why the double folded board doesn't lay tight in its box. 

The light blue green game board has a light blue back. In contrast to earlier issues the "copyright line" is printed along side 3 rather than under the red Monopoly bar standing sloping over the board.
The rent of the unbuilt Central Market (= most expensive yellow street) is now as is ought to be, viz. slightly higher than both other streets, in this case RM 240.
The small (45x77 mm) Community Chest and Chance cards are the American type, viz. illustrated with funny pictures of Mr.Monopoly.

The money consists of 7 banknotes printed in black on colored paper, the white circle in the centre of the note now only shows "Monopoly ® - Brand." The denominations are: 10 (white) - 50 - 100 - 200 - 500 - 1000 and 5000 RM (Malaysian Ringgit)
The tokens are those 10 well-known metal ones: ship - car - wheel-barrow - hat - thimble - canon - shoe - iron - dog - rider-on-rearing-horse plus the special one: the wau.
The hollow houses and hotels are made of plastic, the roofs of which have tiles and a central chimney, while the hotels also have roofedges. 
The dice are white with black pips.

The set was "Made in China".

 

 

Millionaire, b.c.92128.Edition: Jutaria - Millionaire - b.c. 92128
               "Pek Origina" (Original packaging)
Publisher: Hee Trading Co - Butterworth - Malaysia - 2000
Dimensions of the box: 14.2 x 23.0 x 2.2 cm
of the unfolded "board": 35.5 x 38.0 cm
The game:
This edition is trilingual: Malayan - Chinese and English, although the Rules are only in Malayan and Chinese. 

Like all of these small inland made games the boxes and its contents are very poor, although the print quality is good. The box opens on the small side. 
Both sides of this box show a "Great Rich Man" (compare with Parker's "Rich uncle Pennybags") in front of the Malaysian flag, on the Chinese side bearing a white jacket and on the Malaysian side a black jacket
Note that the white dice in the green oval show 5 and 4.

Why may one say a Juteria to be an imitation Monopoly game
Looking to this edition it is because:
Both games have a "Rich Uncle".
Both have 10 spaces per side although the board of this edition is much smaller and consequently all spaces are.
The 4 corners have the same purpose: Start - Jail - Free Parking and Go-to-Jail, although the pictures on the spaces are different. However a baby in a Jail? And a somewhat strange policeman in the Go-to-Jail corner.
There are two kinds of card-stacks. In this edition it are Fate and Chance cards, positioned on top the middle of side 1 and 3.

There are 32 hollow plastic, blue houses and 12 red hotels, all with tilled roofs and excentric situated chimney, the houses having roof edges. They come fixed together, on casting trees.

Dimensions of the box: 14.7 x 21.2 x 2.0 cm
of the unfolded "board": 34.5 x 37.4 cm
The game:
This Billionaire edition is a "brother" issue of the Millionaire set with a lower bar code number and from the same manufacturer. It is almost a copy except for the prices being multiplied by a factor 10.

Other differences in design are:
The pictures on the box are turned for a quarter. Funny to  note that the "Great Rich Man" now has a pink bow tie
whereas his American counterpart, Mr. Monopoly, is  wearing a red one since 2000.
The lines surrounding the spaces of the game board are dark blue, while those of the Millionaire are light brown.

The game:
This slightly larger game box looks very similar to the earlier described one with bar code ref., reason to assume it comes from the same manufacturer. 
(The "mystery gift" is in this set a tiny plastic sheet (4x5 cm) to compose a space shuttle of.)
Both the lid and the bottom show again the "bald, fat, rich man waving with banknotes" and bearing a purple jacket this time.

The box opens on the left longer side and the lid is one whole with the bottom part.

Millionaire around the World.Edition: Millionaire/Jutaria  - Around the world/Mengelilingi dunia  
Publisher: Unknown manufacturer - ±2002
Dimensions of the box: 18.2 x 15.2 x 3.8 cm
of the unfolded "board":  38.0 x 38.3 cm
The game:
Although the design and presentation of this edition has great resemblance with those of the other editions described there is no reason to believe this set to be made by one of their manufacturers. The "Great Rich Man" in this edition looks like an Austrian Tiroler man without beard, but with a handful of American dollars.

This edition is trilingual: Malayan - Chinese and English, but the Rules are only in Malayan and Chinese. 

Both sides of this little box show a collage of pictures of the landmarks mentioned on the game board.
The properties are 28 countries each represented by a picture of a landmark. It is funny to see that the designer apparently don't know the country France, only it's capital Paris. Another "new" country seems to be Afrika. The game starts with Malaysia, followed by its neighbour city Singapore.

The spaces on the paper game board are from Mula/"Start from here" onwards:

The dice near "Great Rich Man" show 5 and 4.
There are no train stations in the middle of each side.
The scoundrel behind the only 2 bars of the jail is shown by a picture of a man with a tag with number 2002 (which can also be a  hidden way to mention the year of issue).
The Free Car Park corner is illustrated by a picture of a red racing car.
The Go to Jail corner is illustrated by a drawn policeman with pointing finger.
The space for the Fate cards is next to Mula, while the Chance stack is near the Free Car Park.

The property deeds are all on one white paper sheet, both sides printed in red, the mortgage side clearly showing the space numbers and countries.
Each set of 15  Fate and Chance cards is printed in dark blue on a sheet of colored paper.
The money consist of banknotes all printed in color on 2 sheets of white paper in 7 denominations 10 - 50 - 100 - 200 - 500 - 1000 and 5000 RM (Ringgit Malayan).
The set has 4 hollow plastic pawns for tokens.
