To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Starting at Johore, which, some Biblical authorities assert, is identical with the Land of Ophir, and run- ning through the heart of British Malaya from south to north, is the Federated Malay States Railway, which has recently been linked up with the Siamese State Railways, thus making it possible to travel by rail from Singapore to Bangkok in about four days. Aside from the heat (In the railway carriages the mer- cury occasionally climbs to 120), the insects, the dust, and the swarms of sweati...ng natives who pile into every compartment regardless of the class designated on their tickets, the journey is a comfortable one. That section of the F. M. S. Railways which tra- verses the Sultanate of Johore runs through the great- est tiger country in all Asia. The tiger is to Johore what the elephant is to Siam and the kangaroo to Australia — a sort of national trademark. Even the postage stamps bear an engraving of the striped mon- arch of the jungle. There is no place in the world, so far as I am aware, save only a zoo, of course, where one can get a shot at a tiger so quickly and with such minimum of effort.
