Singapore?
I am wondering if Ford Singapore had any responsibility for the NEI as well as Malay States, Burma, etc.? The lack of a Ford subsidiary did not stop Fords exporting from their Bombay Plant to Kabul. The Afghan Government just set up a company and factory to do the necessaries! However it does seem that the NEI was a long-term market for Fords. I am certain that "Soerabaja/Surabaya" on Java was a possible area for an operation. It seems familiar to me.
