History

On 29 June 1925, the bill to incorporate the Rubber Research Institute of Malaya was passed by the government. Dr G. Bryce was appointed the first Director of the institute on 26 September 1926. On 31 October 1926, its laboratory at Petaling Estate was closed down and from 1 November 1926, the institute took over the equipment of the Rubber Growers' Association. Also in 1926, the institute made a request to the government for the temporary laboratory building of the institute at Damansara Road in Selangor. The request was granted and the building was leased for five years. In 1936, the institute decided to relocate to a new building at Ampang Road. The building was officiated by Selangor Sultan Sulaiman on 22 April 1936 and the institute restarted its operation on 19 May 1937.[1][2]

gollark: Wait, this is just an arbitrary random number.
gollark: So I'm using it on a big number which it is not optimized for.
gollark: > Factoring large numbers is, in general, hard. The Pollard-Brent rho algorithm used by factor is particularly effective for numbers with relatively small factors. If you wish to factor large numbers which do not have small factors (for example, numbers which are the product of two large primes), other methods are far better. Oh bee.
gollark: This is the GNU coreutils one.
gollark: I'll check.
