Charles Vyner Brooke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (386 words)
The Rajah of Sarawak, Sir Charles Vyner deWindt Brooke GCMG (September 26, 1874–May 9, 1963) was the third and final White Rajah of Sarawak.
Brooke's early years as Rajah saw a boom in the Sarawak rubber and oil industries and the subsequent rise in the Sarawak economy allowed Brooke to modernise Sarawak institutions, including the public service and introduced a penal code developed on British India lines in 1924.
Brooke returned to Sarawak on April 15, 1946 and temporarily resumed as Rajah, until July 1, 1946 when he ceded Sarawak to the British government as a crown colony, thus ending White Rajah rule in Sarawak.
