Allah jang Palsoe [SEP] Introduction
Allah jang Palsoe (; Perfected Spelling: Allah yang Palsu; Malay for "The False God") is a 1919 stage drama from the Dutch East Indies that was written by the ethnic Chinese author Kwee Tek Hoay based on E. Phillips Oppenheim's short story "The False Gods". Over six acts, the Malay-language play follows two brothers, one a devout son who holds firmly to his morals and personal honour, while the other worships money and prioritises personal gain. Over more than a decade, the two learn that money (the titular false god) is not the path to happiness. Kwee Tek Hoay's first stage play, "Allah jang Palsoe" was written as a realist response to whimsical contemporary theatres.
